Victory Memorial Drive is a parkway in the north west corner of the city of Minneapolis. It is about 4 miles long and ultimately connects to Wirth Parkway and thus to the entire chain of lakes and parkways in the city. Minneapolis is known as the City of Lakes. So I take Victory Memorial on occasion when I'm out and about and in not such a hurry that I jump on the freeway instead. It's block wide boulevards are green spaces where dogs and kids get to run and joggers jog and walkers walk along. The best part of the drive though is the great memorial and I'm always touched as I go by. Partly by the markers for soldiers along the road, each with a man's name and unit.
The best part is the central monument made of granite.
Set in a semi circle with placques on twin walls
And the handsome granite benches which are about 12' long and 4' wide.
And a fence. Everything made of very highly polished granite accented by unpolished areas.
This monument has been here for 90 years now and the stone work is still perfect and rather voluptuous in some way. It's a nice place to stop and take a look if you're up this way. To me it's a monument not only to the good soldiers who "gave their lives in defense of liberty" but also to a citizenry who respected the sacrifice of those soldiers and gave of themselves to erect a fine monument.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
