Fall colors on Minnesota’s North Shore 🍁
And a little funny story from this trip 🤪:

I was charging my car at a Black Bear casino and decided to walk somewhere for coffee. The only nearby place that supposedly served it was Anang Tasting Lounge and Dispensary🪴. According to one Google review, anyway. Good enough.

I walked in, got ID’d twice, and finally asked, “I have a weird request. Do you guys have coffee?”
The lady looked genuinely confused: “You came here for… coffee?”
“Yes.”
She laughed and escorted me to the lounge, announcing, “This lady just wants coffee!”

The bartender made me a latte, but when I pulled out my card, I learned they only accepted cash. I apologized and started leaving. Bartender looked at me with pity and said: “You know what? Coffee’s on me.”

Then some ladies in the lounge pulled out cash to pay for it. At this point, the entire establishment seemed personally invested in getting me caffeinated 🤭 The bartender even attempted to pour a marijuana leaf in my latte foam 🥰 And eventually said: “Welcome to the Fond du Lac Nation, the land of great pot and… uh… coffee!”

So, huge thanks to the lovely people of the Fond du Lac Nation for the hospitality, the laughs, and the unexpected latte ❤️

I suspect I’ll be a minor local legend for a few days. The woman who walked into a cannabis lounge with no cash, bought absolutely no cannabis, and somehow left with free coffee.
