Heading out to Fleet Farm today to have the tires rotated. I'll bring a book to read in case there's a wait.

If you're looking for a mild getaway this summer, try Stillwater, Minnesota. Quaint storefronts, a pretty rivertown. Near Willow River State Park in Hudson, and Taylor's Falls State Park in Minnesota.

If you head further north, there's the Hayward, Wisconsin area, whose sportfishing tourist heyday is behind it, but has a historic charm. Winter home of the Birkebeiner.

Finally, Bayfield on the shores of Lake Superior, and La Pointe on Madeline Island, are reminders of the trapper and missionary days in north America. They're accommodating, and you'll come back relaxed if you take a few days summer getaway. Happy flag day in a few.
