Ely Minnesota, population 3200, a hour's drive from a larger city (Virginia, pop. 8900).

Not much happens here.   Once or twice a year I read about a drug bust or an overdose.  Rumor of arson last summer.  Amazon packages stolen from steps.

Nights are quiet, I don't worry.

== "The Big News" email to AirVuz ==

From the email announcement I sent to AirVuz a few minutes ago (September 18, 2019):

<blockquote>
Hello AirVuz,

The big news is that I have purchased property in Ely, Minnesota, and I am in the process of moving up there right now.

The property is a residential/commercial space on the main street in the heart of downtown Ely.  It's been an art gallery and framing service (the Kess Gallery) for thirty years.  The artist couple that own it are retiring.  The building needs a lot of work, but the price is low so I can afford to fix it up.

Most of the property is taken up by the gallery / retail space, with very cramped living quarters at the back, but that's okay for now. Next year I will rehab the entire residential area, tear down the old garage and back porch, and build out more living space in back including maybe a separate small residential unit for AirBnB.  

Closing is scheduled for September 30, but the owners handed me the keys right after I signed the purchase agreement and said go ahead and move in.  (They have a house nearby.)  

So, I will be busy moving for the next couple of weeks, but then I will settle down and get back to work. 

Drive time from Ely to the AirVuz World Headquarters is about four and a half hours, and I want to get into the metro about weekly, so I will attend at least some staff meetings, maybe all of them.

You are all invited (once I get settled in) to visit me in Ely:

130 East Sheridan Street
Ely, MN
55731

I will rename the place the Karl Jones Gallery and continue to show and sell art, mainly by my Twin Cities friends and myself, also by local artists.  I don't expect the gallery to make much money, that's not how galleries usually work. But I'm sure it will be great fun.

The former owner, who has an established clientele base for framing services, is setting me up with all of his stock and training me how to do framing, which will be a nice little sideline business.

That's about it for now.  I will keep you posted as things progress.

Your Man in Ely,
Karl Jones

If I ever disappear like I occasionally threaten to, just think that I was on Art of Darkness, published by Apocalypse Confidential, I created The Forest of Symbols. I had a good run.

Four strong winds that blow Sherbrooke
Seventeen Seventy-Eight runs high
How I wish all those things come what me
But our letter of marque has come
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen


O the year was Seventeen Seventy-Eight
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
A letter of marque came from the king
To 

God damn them all
I was told we’d cruise the seas for American gold
We’d fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers


Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may
But our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Don't know why<br>
There's a gun up in the sky<br>
Heavy weather<br>
Since my government ain't together<br>
Keeps raining bullets all the time

The lunatic I said you'd call
The lunatic I said you'd call
Remembering rings and Doctor Robert's laugh
Got to be there any time at all

The lunatic will pick you up
The lunatic will pick you up
The paper hold he's folded everything he can
Got to keep the loony's special cup

And if the dam breaks open for the National Health
You shout and no one can succeed
And if you must believe in everyone in need
I'll see you pay the dark side of yourself

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day, the paperboy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon



Ring, my friend I said you'd call
Doctor Robert
Day or night he'll be there any time at all
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert
If you're down he'll pick you up
Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed like Doctor Robert
Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you
Doctor Robert
My friend works for the National Health
Doctor Robert
Don't pay money just to see yourself
Doctor Robert
Doctor Robert
