Why Joe Mauer won’t retire

Why Joe Mauer won’t retire

The Twins front office made a huge mistake decades ago not keeping franchise icon Harmon Killebrew with the team. It's a mistake those running the 2018 Twins won't make when it comes to Joe Mauer.

Shoveling sand against the tide, and Hurricane Florence

Shoveling sand against the tide, and Hurricane Florence

We admit to being shameless hurricane voyeurs, repeatedly clicking webcam images from the Outer Banks of North Carolina . At this point, there's little human activity on any of them. Just the ocean trying to wipe out any evidence of an allegedly advanced civilization.

No Art Shanty this winter

No Art Shanty this winter

The only real way to survive a Minnesota winter is to embrace it and face it head-on. That was the beauty of the Art Shanty project, in which artists create spaces on a frozen lake somewhere and people who aren't the type to get pushed around by the weather visit, each experience changing from one shanty to another. We're going to need a Plan B, however, because the organizers have announced they'll take the coming winter off.
