Apr. 5th, 2021 09:49 amI have little to report other than the fact that we drove down to New Ulm to finish up my vaccine set on Saturday. New Ulm is no more than 2 hours away, but we left early and did some meandering. We stopped to do a quick stretch in a random lake called Cedar Lake and, of course, took time to see New Ulm's famous statue, "Hermann the German."

If you are curious what that German is so mad about, there is a lovely description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Heights_Monument.
New Ulm, despite being a lovely place to me because I was able to get my vaccine there is actually kind of problematic town in general, being fairly central to the US-Dakota War... and sort of on the wrong side against the Nazis, because: Germany. Their mayor was apparently removed by the MN Legislature under the sedition act. However, there is a lovely glockenspiel in town that chimes on the hour and has terrifying animatronic dancing horrors. Several years ago, Mason and I made an impromptu visit to this town just to check it out. (I took a few minutes to re-upload all the photos so that if you go to read it, the images are there.)
Yesterday, I just slept. I didn't think I was effected at first, but then after being awake for an hour or two I conked out hard and basically spent the day in bed. I had a bit of a headache that seemed to be sinus pressure, but otherwise I feel fine.
