This Saturday, Oct. 12, promises to be a day of cycles and psychics.

Because a beautiful, slightly cool fall day is forecast, an overflow crowd is expected at the annual Frost Your Nuts Run, which will not really live up to its icy name. To verify that, just ask the psychics who will be giving readings from in-front-of the apartments across Wisconsin Street North from the Mallalieu Inn, which sponsors the motorcycle rally. The family full of psychics, who have the same gift and I can personally vouch for their accuracy, will be there as long as the cycles, and they fittingly are toying with the idea of a Halloween theme. Motorcycle riders will gather in the late morning and leave in batches during a couple-hour period following noon to take in the fall scenery around western Wisconsin. As many as 5,000 people have participated in the past.

Saturday night marks the return of East River Rock to the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt. The fivesome includes a keyboardist and has a tough-enough look about them as they play southern rock, blues, country and some rock. The guys’ dark-clothed appearance reminds me of a former local bassist you may have seen, Scotty “Danger” Manske. and the group has made some recordings that are available on the Internet. To give you an idea, three of their top plays are this diverse combination of titles, The House is Rockin,’ Satisfaction and Hard to Handle.

Make your plans for this winter, and probably not before, if you want that favorite and affordable steak. The Sports Club restaurant and bar in downtown Hudson is planning a whole host of major renovations, inside and in back, and right down to an updated front facade, and will need to close for a month or two starting this weekend.

  • The start of one song, was simply “Question?” So we’ll lead off this story — Guess Who? — with who will lead the blue as it attempts to fade in with the red in the county in this election cycle? Can we get to The Color Purple? Mock the Maroon? (A scam Alert!!! My post is massively updated after my short trip between Badger and Gopher states. So read on.)
Questions everywhere? These days, how do you dismiss an ad or a politician, or whoever or whatever pops up and occupies your computer screen, or mailbox, electronic or otherwise? And did that answer in the form of a package or letter or even air waves — coming from a pol or a pool? — ever actually arrive, like all those ads and flyers? Maybe it never will? And surely not written with a quill. As one friend just reminded me, it all starts with one problem leading into another set of problems. Or, like a volcano boiling and brewing and...

  • The hearsay vote will be read by some as pure heresy, as Hermening spies the ‘country club crowd’ for how he can putt to quasi-greatness and quash Trump. Then in today’s election there’s a pro-life, run-of-the-mill muckadymuck, a Hong pro-education predictable, and a sharper than the average sheep Shannon (yes it’s a he.) THat’s what flyers tell us about the Day’s Of Our Lives. Today.
Hey today they threw it all back to you, as it is election day, and with it the last Badger gasp — if least if they’re our candidates — (is that the throaty noise they make?), with a soar-throated, campaign-trail rasp made by an audio-version plethora of last-minute flyers that fill our boxes with hopes to grasp, so we can check their boxes when we go to the polls and pick a (partial) winner to move on to full November midterms. Less then the Trump-triumphed manhandling our mailboxes got however, in the last election of this type. Those worn, creaking...

  • When they got hitched, in the long haul, it went off without a hitch or glitch. This wedding was The Big One, for me pre-empting that of Taylor Swift or the latest (re)marriage of one of the royals. Now, after these multinational nuptuals, off on a European honeym0on.
When my niece got married, everyone knew the wedding was going to be as extravagant and elaborate as they do it down in Austin, TX, where she worked for a couple of years before deciding to go back and get her Master’s in Wisconsin, in either Madison or Milwaukee, quickly done mind you and then soon, and after a slightly postponed European honeymoon and an apartment found, start working as a social worker in one of those two areas. So you can see, there is a degree of impulsivity, although she was very certain in her choice of a mate...

  • Snoop Dogg doing his Tony The Tiger take while hawking Cheetos saved it. How you can win a fun and Fandango movie deal when bundling, sorta, with Subway, or score a walk-on role for a movie set in summer-of-love Paris or such. Details below, for a limited time, as these movies hit in July.
Hey, those marketers I compete with, and not telemarketers as even I wouldn’t stoop that low no matter how financially addled and not from India, with their flyer of the day(s), are getting more creative. As far as again, their marketing. Case in point. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Subway. And not the mass transit kind that’s full to the gills Out East. The food chain one has great prices for a whole lotta food, and great specials too. So this is not completely sour grapes. But this one rubbed me the wrong way, like an old sauce...

  • Heartland Days stays true to the heart of its name and lets kids of all ages rule the roost. Photograph them and give them their due aND turn behind the wheel, with A garden tractor or FFA approved. There’s music, too, if you wait to the fest’s end, after the parade.
As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...
