Twenty years....
I came to Minnesota July 1st, 1997 which means that this July 1st I will have lived here for 20 years. So over the next 20 weeks, I'm going to publish a picture and/or a memory of my time becoming a Minnesotan. These aren't necessarily going to be the biggest, most important things that happened in a particular year (although some of them will be). They are just a way for me to celebrate my adopted home and the life that I've built here.
The left image is May 1997. I had graduated and was working the first part of the summer at the Physics prop shop creating digital images of a bunch of laboratory instrumentation. Presented with a digital camera opportunity, even in the stone age, naturally a selfie emerged... The right one is the end of January 2017, just a few weeks ago. Random Tuesday morning video conference call. So... yeah selfie opportunity...
Looking at them side by side... wow. Separated by a dozen or more lifetimes but some things really do persist.
