Welcome June!
Yesterday took me on a morning trip to the American Red Cross for a round of apheresis platelet donation. The bus ride was the first for me in a while, being that I typically walk, bike or catch rides from friends, and that I find MetroTransit impossibly frustrating.
After a quick cup of coffee and a delicious espresso from Urban Bean I caught a bus into downtown. Minneapolis rarely looks better than on a bright and sunny morning thanks to the way the light hits the buildings in downtown, showing off the details and making them glow.
I was early for my appointment so I went into the empty lot across from the Red Cross' parking lot and took some photos of the Caterpillar Excavators that were just sitting there. Just as I was walking away I noticed an official look woman, probably a security guard, walking towards me. Her appearance was hardly necessary, I was only taking pictures, but after informing me of that the equipment was being video taped and that I shouldn't be playing around with them I went on my way.
Next is a quick video of the walk through the parking lot, ending at the Red Cross
After donating I walked down the river road, toward the Stone Arch Bridge, where I was graciously picked up and driven home by my favorite person, MES.
