[Today’s run: about 4 miles]<\/p>\n
Yesterday was the Marathon.\u00a0 It was a long day, and the weather was warmer than expected so the marathon participants had a tough go.\u00a0 But we got through it and had a quiet evening and good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n
This morning I went for a jog here in Superior, WI on a bike path along the water front.\u00a0 It’s not as exciting as the north shore over in Duluth, more industrial.\u00a0 But they have a nice bike path.<\/p>\n
I’ve spent a few hours trying to get my VPN working between here and home.\u00a0 I am able to get into a computer at home and access the router setup screens.\u00a0 I have not yet found a combination of settings that actually works.\u00a0 But we have had quite a bit of down time and it was something I’ve needed to work on.\u00a0 No success yet.\u00a0 I need to eventually have VPN if I want to do my radio station program work while away from home.\u00a0 For this trip I did it all in advance.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (VPN means “virtual private network”.\u00a0 It would let me use my laptop while on the road as if I were connected to the network at home but still keep “bad guys” out.)<\/p>\n
Duluth is a nice town, built on a big south-facing bluff overlooking the lake.\u00a0 Superior is to the south, on a flat plain.\u00a0 Most of the nice houses are in Duluth and it looks like most of the heavy industry is in Superior.\u00a0 Superior is on the “south side of the tracks” except that “the tracks” are water ways.\u00a0 Our hotel is in Superior.\u00a0 It is a newer building but it looks like it was built on the site of an older motel.\u00a0 There are still signs of the older motel and parking lot layout, etc.\u00a0 including an office-like building which is empty.\u00a0 I don’t know why it is half-baked like this.\u00a0 Much of what we have seen of Superior feels that way.<\/p>\n
Duluth is large enough to have a multi-storied downtown area, a few blocks wide and many blocks long.<\/p>\n
I have a friend from college who is active on facebook.\u00a0 He and his wife are coming to this area for their annual week-long vacation in cabins on the north shore.\u00a0 We are going to get together for dinner this evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
