Bike Ride Through Richfield, Minnesota I went for a bike ride last night through the eastern part of Richfield.  I saw a total of four people outdoors for the entire 40 blocks I covered.  This was a beautiful day just after school let out and there were no kids anywhere.  I had passed into the eerie "Airport Impact Zone" along Cedar Ave.  About 20 houses were up on bricks and ready to be hauled away.  I learn now that they are part of the Airport Noise Aquisition Project to get ready for the new North South Runway at the airport.  I stopped to ask two guys sitting in lawn chairs in a driveway why the homes were being moved and they ignored me.  I don't know if they were deaf from airport noise, were ignoring me on purpose, or I had crossed into some dimensional rift where I could see them and they could not see me.  11:22:22 AM    comment []
