L.L.Bean opened its second store in Minnesota this morning at a lifestyle center in Maple Grove called the Shoppes at Arbor Lakes. The first 100 people in line got a monogrammed Boat and Tote, and there were other giveaways, doughnuts, and beverages inside.
Tonight, my mom and I drove a mile on Audubon Road from our house in Chanhassen, Minnesota, to Paisley Park (Prince’s former home and studio) to watch Chanhassen’s annual 4th of July fireworks display, which was postponed due to storms. I took a video of the entire fireworks display with my iPhone 16. In fact, it was the first video I had ever taken in 4K! You can watch the video on the embedded YouTube player below, or at my YouTube channel, @nickscribner. Additionally, here is a link to the video on YouTube: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buR4VAiZUb4>.
In May 2026, I visited Treasure Island, Florida, and posted photos to an earlier version of this website each day I was there. Though I didn’t realize it at the time, I posted an even total of 50 photos to the site. Since I completely deleted the site, to view the photos you must visit each of the day’s posts on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Start by copying the URL for my post “Treasure Island, Florida: Day 8”: <https://scribner.org/2026/05/30/treasure-island-florida-day-8/> (copy and paste the entire URL without the angle brackets into the Wayback Machine’s text input field). After doing so, scroll down and click the link for the post “Treasure Island, Florida: Day 7.” Continue this process to view each of the day’s posts in reverse chronological order.

Welcome—again—to Scribner.org, the website of Nicholas Scribner.
I deleted this domain and an earlier version of this WordPress site in June 2026, but very gratefully got them back in July 2026.
As stated in my earlier welcome post, I promise to update this site frequently with my writing and photography.
Thank you for visiting. Once again, I will try to make this site worth everyone’s while.
