Climbing Stillwater’s Main Street Stairs.

Off to Stillwater area this morning. Starting with breakfast at Mon Petit Chéri.

It seems that Affogatos are all of a sudden popular at a number of different places. Sadly, most places that have good ice cream have terrible coffee — and vice versa. However I was very impressed with Sebastian Joe’s delicious rendition — if only they didn’t put it in a paper cup. 🍦☕️

We walked over to the Linden Hills Fall Festival to check out the 50th annual event. It was a nice neighborhood event but the main thing that we noted was Cal Pflum playing on the stage. He is very young but has a really great voice!

We found the Illuminati. 😁

After following Tyler to Pokémon TCG Pocket I decided to also try one of his favorite games — Clash Royale. I’m a total newbie. If you play let’s connect!

Trying out Pokémon TCG Pocket

I saw that Pokémon TCG Pocket has a special event coming up and Tyler has been collecting on this app for a long-time so I decided to join in as well.

An observation on TCG Pocket — if you owned Pokémon and had a huge market of collectible cards and believed there was a future for digital collectibles, like NFTs, this app is exactly what you would create. You have a brand new ecosystem of digital only cards to get people used to all the typical things you do with the current physical cards and create a whole additional digital ecosystem. It isn’t blockchain based today, but the consumer behavior is the thing to focus on now how it is done.

I just got my first CharGPT Pulse. I was more impressed than I expected. It was truly interesting. Curious to see how it changes each day.
