IKEA, Home Depot, Target...beyond

It feels a little like creating the studio 5 and 3 years ago, endless trips to the hardware store, IKEA, and Target. And speaking of Target, I'll never call it Targhetto again in MN, why, because we have no idea what that actually means as we do have the Cadillacs of Target stores in our fair state. I think we thought the closest one was up the Bay in El Cerrito, so we went there, but it was worse than the worst you've seen anywhere in Mpls, I was imagining trips home to shop at Target to be like trips from CA to MN with the Trader Joe's contraband. Then on the way home we drove past the new Target, like a beacon and within biking distance of our front door. I'll send a picture, it's new and lovely and PALM trees out front! I'm all ready sick of shopping, but I will find a way to support my CA habit!

I checked out the Berkeley fireworks last night, it was chilly! Hey folks, there is a 25 degree temp span here, not 125! Crazy! I'll get pictures of the house up soon.
