Halloween costume shopping at the Hudson Goodwill store on Coulee Road is not only very inexpensive, but offers a diverse set of attire. They have odd-ball but fantastic costumes the Big Box Stores don’t carry, and the choice to buy the pieces you need, but necessarily the whole kit, just the accessories you require, not pay for the rest, their managers say. An example is a Darth Vader mask; you can pay for just that and utilize that black robe you already have in your closet, if you desire, and save because of shopping Goodwill and getting an already reduced cost. And they have many different styles of wigs, for example, not just one or two. On top of this, you can get a 25-percent-off offer on Halloween fare if you bring in a bag of donated materials.

  • Blonde and Brunette and redheaded group The Divas, decked out divinely in red and white and blue, take the stage in tribute to the troops at the St. Croix County Fair from July 15-19. In advance of the anthems provided by these and five other bands, enter or take in a contest of the most patriotic of flora, in all those colors and more! Poppies are only the start.
I have a plethora of times paraphrased her and made preposterous puns pointing at her pronouncements, about bands that give brand new meaning to long running and return engagement, and all the other activity, old and even new, that just keeps bubbling up at The Fair … I have worked with Gail Maier, an organizer of the St. Croix County Fair that now mid-July resurfaces to its forefront flair this weekend, for several years running now, so here is her on it, verbatim: “Yes, by all means go for it. We especially want to promote The Tribute to the Troops...

  • XBox workers get the axe, as there are again calls to overhaul a controversial visa program that brings workers here who are called highly skilled in specialties. Does that include roadies from England? Or do they hit the road, too? Could be, as this program was reformed and renamed under the rule of various presidents, since before the dawn of rock.
The news that Microsoft will fire thousands of workers in both the immediate and long term, related mostly to its once-industry leading XBox gaming system, has raised scrutiny over an old immigration loophole, largely, that allows workers dubbed as highly skilled from other countries, who would otherwise not be let in, to be brought here to solve the labor needs including shortages of mostly large employers. That’s this business news breakdown, in a nutshell, fighting through the gobbledygook. Or so it goes. This company that in a recent year just got done firing many thousands, has now announced it is...

  • Did these regular bar fly guys really connect all their dots? Can a simple pill cure the tapeworm Tourette’s that connects most of your organs? Look deeper and take a deep dive into their take on the facts. It’s conservative to say there are huge holes the size of the Strait of Hormuz. Wide part, like the St. Croix …
A few of these local conservative guys actually made some sense — sorta, or at first.(I refer to Trump’s slamming connected to his recent posting of photos of Minnesotan kindergartners allegedly wearing hijabs at a graduation, and a few regular guys chugging down at the local booze hall in a (possibly) less discriminatory way (beer goggled brain?) and thinking out loud (with low vocabulary) that they are what, just another name for khakis? (OK, that last part is fake news.) Spelled with the same number of letters and consonants, and using the same vowels, and I’ll give them that they...

  • See elsewhere on this page a new post. —– On Our No. 250, can we at least unite on a ditty? And hush more about the speech at Rushmore. While Congress carries on with their own, has it become a telethon? (We’d much rather broadcast The Eras, as Swift and her sweetie unite by tying the knot, with Sheeran and Sandler and Stevie.) So not even fall and elections, still our house is divided —– Newly added, more on music fest and heat note observations.
On this holiday weekend, I want to note that with an exception or two, our Union has never been universal, as in unified or united, much less totally uniform in its common and professional and congressional and judicial and presidential opinion, throughout as I will put it, about 244 of its 250 years. Roughly. (Roughrider at the presidential rodeo?) So not to rain on their parade, but it is apt that we have removed the right to piss in the great big reflective presidential pool, which might even help by killing some of the presidentially proliferating algae, or loosening the...

  • I’ll be (relatively) brief and punchy with this headline notation, as we transition to giving you more and sometimes shorter choices. And you may notice some of that as you beckon forward. It’s circular. Like a flush. Be careful what you mix, heads vs. text, drinks vs. food, and all kinds of potions — that may go bump in the night. —– Punchy, potentially, but I digress or progress with a new patriotic addition. And a second edition, an old Obsession, as in a concert.
My mom has told me not to be a potty mouth when I write, as she certainly would not appreciate hardly any of the standup humor on say, Comedy Central Radio. SNL maybe. But after 11:30 p.m. … But there comes a time where a man must make a stand. And for this jokester, it was now when he had to choose whether to pass on the opportunity that would otherwise bite him in the butt, for in front of and behind him is the Mother Lode. Or should I say load. Or “Mothers” of Invention. — On another stage, I dissed...
