My SkyMiles personality

skymiles-personality.png

According to the Delta SkyMiles personality survey:

I TRAVEL IN THE FAST LANE, WITH MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY.

They elaborate:

As one of those rare, special people who gets things done quicker when there’s more to do, you prioritize your time to your advantage. You always find a way to be more efficient, and you never met an obstacle you couldn’t circumnavigate. With such a need to get things done, anything that keeps your runways clear for takeoff is a benefit indeed!

Your mantra is SAVE TIME, BE EFFICIENT, and BE PRODUCTIVE.

I get the same feeling from this as when I read my horoscope. I’m interested but get the feeling it could apply to just about anyone.

Unlike reading my horoscope, I was given 500 miles for my trouble.

Picture from the Witch’s Hat in Prospect Park, Minneapolis, MN

witchs_hat_pano-medium.png

The highest natural point in Minneapolis, MN is a hill in Prospect Park. On that hill is a decommissioned water tower with an observation deck. That deck is open to the public one day a year. That day was today. The tower has a plaque that reads:

Prospect Park Water Tower

The Witch’s Hat Water Tower was designed by Norwegian architect Frederick William Cappelen and constructed by the city of Minneapolis in 1913. Occupying the highest natural land area in Minneapolis, the water tower was built to improve water pressure in the home of Prospect Park residents. The tower was decommissioned in 1952, but has been preserved as a significant part of this city’s history. The witch’s Hat Water Tower and Tower Hill Park are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

I, rather clumsily, stitched the above photo together from three separate photos. The view is still impressive.
