What's your Avatar?

My avatar is a design from a midwest screen printing shop.
They create lots of fun up-to-the-minute current event items. Check them out if you have a 2020 grad gift in your life.
And wave the next time you fly over on your timesharing adventures.

It used to make sense to me.

// fill the table with values from the quotes
InvestmentsDataSetTableAdapters.StockQuotesTableAdapter stockQuotesTableAdapter =
new Stock_Market_Simulator.InvestmentsDataSetTableAdapters.StockQuotesTableAdapter();
stockQuotesTableAdapter.Fill(investmentsDataSet.StockQuotes);
foreach (InvestmentsDataSet.StockQuotesRow row in investmentsDataSet.StockQuotes)
{
string symbol = row.StockSymbol.Trim();
if (selectedSymbols.Contains(symbol))
{
if (dtCloseValuesHistory.Rows.Find(row.TradeDate) != null)
{
(dtCloseValuesHistory.Rows.Find(row.TradeDate)).SetField(symbol, row.AdjCloseValue);
}
else
Debug.WriteLine(row.StockSymbol + row.TradeDate); ;
}
}

Makes sense to me. LOL!

When I tell people where I'm from (Minnesota), I add that it's so far north, it isn't even flyover country any more!

My avatar is Michigan J Frog, from the Warner Brothers cartoons. He was a character that would sing, dance and carry on for the person that found him, but would not make a peep or perform in public. As in introvert my wife used to say i was lot like Michigan J Frog...

906 is the area code for my favorite place to be, the UP of Michigan (hence the handle dayooper). A “Yooper” is a resident of the UP or Upper Peninsula of Michigan. By Yooper standards, I would be a troll since I live below (south) of the Mackinac Bridge.

Some of the pretties land I have seen is in the UP:

Especially if you are from Pine County ;-)
(Sturgeon Lake is where we often attend mass during the summer.)

I have dual citizenship. Hence my image depicts that.

Mine is a pic I took from hotel in Cozamel several years ago. If you notice the clouds it looks like a dinosaur on a pedestal.

There is actually more than one Sturgeon Lake in the state. The one in my avatar is in St. Louis County, north of Hibbing, where my parents came from (I'm from Minneapolis). Nothing between there and the Canadian border but 80 miles of forest and lakes. When I was a kid, my family would rent a cabin for two weeks every summer at nearby Side Lake.

Ellen! Hi!
I have thought of you quite a bit....glad to know that you are still feeling well and that the bone marrow transplant did the trick, all those years ago.

That sounds incredible.

I miss Minnesota. We lived there from '92 - '97 on the north end of the Twin Cities (Lino Lakes).
Home of the sea plane base - and just a beautiful area. I think my favorite trip while we lived there was around the Hastings area along the river...

 

[WinniWoman]

Mine is- well- me. LOL!

Mine is a photo inside a lantern stall in Hoi An, Vietnam. It makes me smile remembering trekking with my grands when they were babies and toddlers.

 

[colatown]

Mine is currently a Chartreuse circle with a dark green C in the middle, it took me forever to make it.

Shhh. After everyone makes their trip to the Black Hills, they will want to invade Minnesota. (Of course TUGGERS always welcome, I’m worried about the rest of the population.)

That sounds really nice where you lived. We lived in Golden Valley and my dad had a boat that we would take out on nearby Lake Minnetonka. Then we would take it up to Side Lake at the cabin. Come to think of it, since it was the 1960s, renting the cabin for two weeks every August was our family's version of "timeshare" before timeshares existed!

Mine is a cropped image from a photo I took about 13 years ago. It is a shot of the hotel we stayed at in Nice, France; the Palais de la Méditérranée. It is right on the seafront in Nice and was (and still is) my best upgrade story EVER!!

We were upgraded from a seafront junior suite to the Presidential Suite! It was a magnificent suite of rooms on the top (9th) floor, with a large wrap-around terrace and spectacular vistas along the French coast in both directions. Since we knew we would never get such an opportunity again, we decided to splurge. The hotel had a fabulous kitchen, so we ordered room service for breakfast and dinner each day and dined in style on the terrace overlooking the Côte d'Azur and the Mediterranean Sea. It was a million-dollar view, the best in town and an experience we will always remember.

On a rather bizarre and disturbing historical side note, the area where I was standing when I took that shot, is now infamous for another reason. On the evening of July 14th, 2016, during Fête nationale (Bastille Day) celebrations, a terrorist drove a white cargo truck east along the seafront pedestrian Promenade. He killed and injured hundreds of people before police were able to shoot and kill him. The truck ended up just about where I was standing when I took that shot several years earlier. There but by the Grace of God!! So my avatar is now also a memorial of sorts.

Here is the original image:

And here is the view from the terrace:

One thing I can say about living in the Twin Cities, it's great for bicycles. Before the pandemic, I'd ride with a group of fellow retirees every Monday, with a different starting point each week. Rides have been to Lino Lakes, Stillwater, Hastings, Minnetonka, Coon Rapids, the many lakes of downtown Minneapolis, and trails up and down both sides of the Mississippi. If only the summers were longer here. We're looking forward to being able to ride together again, safely.

Not for us!!! We sometimes flyover If flying from Toronto to Calgary or Vancouver.

There is also a Sturgeon Lake next door in Ontario! Except it is in southern Ontario, near the town of Lindsay. I spent many fun, summer days there as a boy when my uncle had a cottage there.
