My computer crashed this week and this is the best I can do to staple the data together. I’ve added a roundup of local mini-golf places, too. I expect a full data recovery & to be on top by next week’s blog. Enjoy it! Want this weekly? Please subscribe.

Anyone traveling to Burning Man in a big van with room for my Wheel Questions project? 🙂
