Google Transit

I just learned of a Google Transit that allows you to plan city trips step by step. You tell it where you are and where you want to go. It then steps you through where the nearest bus stops, etc to get to your destination.

The only problem is that Duluth is the only Minnesota city to be included. Maps have not been uploaded for the Twin Cities.

You can find it if you just Google Transit.

Wells Fargo 79th Xerxes -Bloomington, Mn

I was going by the Wells Fargo bank about a week ago and their automatic sprinklers were going off watering their nice green grass. Perhaps they should think of a landscape change to prarie grass or something that would not take automatic watering.
