Sites that I find interesting

128 Cafe This fine restaurant is at 128 Cleveland Avenue North in western Saint Paul. Phone: 651-645-4128. They have valet parking which removes a stress. They seem to stress wholesome ingredients. What I like is that the menu is always evolving so each visit has new things for me to try.

Muffuletta This fine restaurant is at 2260 Como Avenue in Saint Paul. Phone: 651-644-9116. Lovely restaurant with a continually fresh menu. I particularly enjoy a warm summer night on their deck. But so do lots of other people. The Muffuletta website has an online reservation utility.

Lucia's Lucia's is at 1432 West 31st Street in Uptown Minneapolis. Phone: (612) 825-1572. This is my favorite restaurant of all. I like the changing menu and the focus on local foodstuffs and wholesome foodstuffs.

Haesje Claes --My favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. Diverse menu. Hearty food. I'm told it's pronounced "Haahja Klaahss".

Van Beeren --My new favorite restaurant in Amsterdam. Diverse menu. Hearty food. I'm working my way through their entire menu. The dry ribs keep winning repeats with me. If you google Van Beeren Amsterdam, google automatically translates the page for you.

Light Pixie Studio -- Your Memories Preserved:    Sharyn Richardson is "the Light Pixie". She specializes in professional, highest quality images. Whether in a fine art photo or a painting, she easily captures your memories. Check out her site and see her photographic and fine art work. Through her eye and hand you know the subject--be it human, animal, or scene--by the nuances she reveals.

QTH.com --My webhost is QTH.com based in LaCrosse, WI. Scott Neader KA9FOX provides excellent service, reliability, and support. It's an excellent value for hams or any small business. Ask me for more detail on how good QTH.Com is!! Scott also runs Internet Solutions which is a related webdesigning service.

YourCallsign.com --KA9FOX, along with some other hams, runs a domain registration service. VERY reasonable prices to get a domain such as w9fz.com .

Chris Cox NĜUK --My good friend who has several helpful applets for ham radio on his site. In addition, Chris hosts the PingJockey server for VHF'ers scheduling WSJT and JT44 QSO's.

Northern Lights Radio Society --The Upper Midwest organization of VHF/UHF/SHF weak signal enthusiasts. Although centered on the Twin Cities, members come from all over the region. Each April hosts the "Aurora" gathering of antenna testing, flea market, and technical program. Will host the Central States VHF Conference in 2006 in the Twin Cities.

North Central Airlines History and Livery --I recently flew a trip with a Captain who created this site. I think highly of his layout and design. Excellent level of detail on paint schemes and types of aircraft operated. Will likely become the premier location for North Central Airlines history. The duck's name was Herman, so his site is hermantheduck dot org (hermantheduck.org). His site MUST come up higher in searches than it does for North Central Airlines history.

Leapsecond.com This site is created by Tom Van Baak. He has deep interest in accurate time and the history of time keeping machines. His Museum of HP Clocks is amazing. He has a page with subscription instructions for the "TimeNuts Reflector".

Ken Kuhn's Amazing HP Test Equipment collection. An amazing collection and an interesting site to look at. A good reference.

Amazing Hotel Key Collection This guy's collection is amazing in it's scope. Further, his website is an effective way to share his collection with the world. His cataloging and photos must be a reference for other collectors. Yes, there is a Yahoo.UK group about Hotel Key Collecting.

PetsOvernight.com --Delivering "Little Bundles of Love", in a box, directly to your door.

Darla Records This label has bands "from around the corner and around the globe". They have artists that major lables have missed. There are some great sounds and discoveries on the Darla label. The "Little Darla has a Treat for You" series of samplers are a great way to open your ears to some new sounds.

Asmatic Kitty Records This label is the home of Sufjan Stevens and several other artists. Ordering was smooth and I'm going to try some of the other artists.
