Minneapolis is the easternmost city of the Wild West!, I saw a scrawny coyote chasing a tumbleweed through the closed-off lanes of Oak Street but I wasn't able to dig my camera out of my satchel in time. And then a clamour of wind came up that blasted me with a faceful of grit, one of the pieces of which I think scratched one of my corneæ.

Some years back I saw several movies' worth of a Rainer Werner Fassbinder film festival at the Oak Street Cinema, and I wish sometime that those old movies would get shown again at whichever of the cinemæ in town.

-----------------------

In Minneapolis on May 3rd, 2011, outside the Oak Street Cinema on the east side of Oak Street Southeast, south of Washington Avenue Southeast.
