Hey, being ‘four eyes’ can be a ‘really’ good thing, especially if you’ve got the goods

The more eyes, in particular if they are shown off by celebrity lookalikes, the better:

— The eyes have it, even if they are four eyes, or just sets of two. A late night clerk at Freedom Value Center noted that there were a couple of construction guys who came in and asked in her eyes “were real.” That’s usually not the set of eyes that guys talk about, which is quite atypical because the clerk is not tall in stature. So I looked deep into her eyes. They are a very light blue, which maybe makes them more noticeable. Then that weekend, dancing at Dick’s Bar and Grill was woman who was a dead-on lookalike for Kristen Wiig — get the double vowels — and even had the hairdo using a rubber band her character sported in Despicible Me. That and the fact that dancing the night away, rather then onstage, at the Smilin’ Moose recently was the splittin’ image of Avril Lavigne, complete with the essential peak-a-boo midriff of those days. And, at the new Pudge’s, was a guy who looked just the leading man in Burn Notice, and had the same goofy grin. One more? How about a friend of mine who had been showing up downtown more and more, and recently celebrated her not-yet-30 birthday, looking like a younger and hotter Patricia Arquette (remember her?)
— On the sports scene, as a server in North Hudson at a sports bar, is the guy who not only resembles former Wild player and current announcer Wes Walz, but also now a member and a quasi-namesake of TV’s Timeless, (he goes by the name of Wyatt). Now that’s a double doppelganger. In that spirit, my friend Doug looks like both a member of the Dweebs — who really rocked out on lead guitar to a rock classic during a cameo with Jeff Loven earlier this year — and sports TV’s Scottie Brooks, shown as both a point guard and currently a broadcaster.
— North Hudson’s Tim Zais was behind the grill last Saturday for a neighborhood breakfast party. It’s hard to miss that he resembles the owner of TV’s Bob’s Burgers, and they both were bringing home the bacon, just in different forms.
— Lastly, and this news has been around for a while, and is also Old School, a look-alike in the American Pie movies, for a randy character named Stiffler, has been serving and partying in Hudson. That would seem to entail some border hopping, as the guy who played that character a number of years back is from the Cottage Grove area.

  • Pristine Boundary waters may now be tainted but not your CBD. And the alleged villian is Chilean, not Mexican or Venezualian. And the village ‘repossessed’ your garbage can and made you buy an officially approved new one. Welcome to 4-20 and Earth Day, circa 2026. And Mary Jane is now declassified by Trump for purposes of ‘study.’ This is not the Obama or Biden administration.
Social media commentators at all levels and news media alike are — just in time for Earth Day — mining the latest Boundary Waters area news with headlines about the latest rollback of Obama and Biden era environmental protections to pristine water quality for what can, legally, be done with potentially destructive commerce in that region, passing the Minnesota legislature by the narrowest of margins. The reactions have ranged from who cares, to asking if our legislators do care, about the plan to mine metals, backed by a Chilean corporate giant, whose name sounds like a death metal band, and...

  • Curl when you can, but hey, now with ice (largely) out?? The Winter Olympics is Past, in case you were one to skip it. Both there is so much more to it then just releasing a stone. Which in case you hadn’t been watching does not always go purposely straight. As it can be wisked in a slightly different manner of bend. There is so much more to this sport, but I still have so many questions … This post is a newbie’s (mostly) first reaction.
So, the Winter Olympics is history, as is the Super Bowl in suspense, and March Madness mania is now mundane, so have you gotten enough of … curling as a sport? Don’t just go ho hum. Like my friend Tom sorta was/is. More on that midway. The summer Olympics aren’t coming around for a bit, to fill your taste for sports. But baseball is underway, so there is more than one four-person, four-bagger with four hot dog-one beer, sobriety limits, even for the Brew Crew. (See below). — That aside, the long winter is over, the whole Boundary Waters Area returns to...

  • Black Sabbath: With God and Satan at my side. and Trump in the middle, leaning largely left toward Lucifer. Could Trump Ever truly be Jesus? Or even Pope Leo? As there appears to be one of those deadly sins, envy. First, Trump would last on the cross about as long as an alleged joe biden thought. To last even seconds longer, he’d have to master omnipotence, like he thinks his army’s have. Track record: Look at his omniscience!
Trump vs. Pope Leo? I’ll take God. And even most atheists would agree with the first part. The battle against Trump becomes more universal. Trump as Jesus? This is an even easier call. I’ll take The Christ not The Donald. But wait, Trump said, or at least pictured, I am He? While facing foes he did not fight with while in The Garden, not Madison Square, and not while entertaining lavishly at a gala at Mar-A-Lago. Trump could take a lesson. Or he could read The Good Book more. (But he does seem to know what a Sacred Heart is, or at least how to...

  • I filter through the fluoridation fixation. This fickle topic was put to rest locally, debunking myths and defying trump and deflating his agenda, with a recent mandate-making, landslide referendum election result. Think of the theoretical ramifications of neighbor vs. neighbor. Tainted water makes tainted love. But this is not our first go-round with this …
Water, water everywhere, and no fluoride to drink … water, water nowhere, better flood the sink. But hold your horses if not your hose and hold on a minute, they voted it down. At least here in New Richmond last Tuesday. So in the week since, we feel the fallout of Trump and his ilk such as RFK Jr. now falling down in failure. There still is lifegiving, if not lifesaving, fluoride to be found in the fluid that spouts from the municipal water system. The mandate-worthy referendum result was to keep teeth-building fluoride in the city supply, by a...

  • Size AA, AAA or DD? All here in Hudson. They are batteries plus and more, buttercup! Or more specifically a (Naturally) Naked Root plant and planter sale, as Hudson Blooms, that could also conjure up other crazy corrolations.
I don’t know what this is, exactly, but I know I want a part of it. There is a Naked Root plant sale at Farrill’s Sunrise Nursery and Garden Center that’s located east of, as in rural, Hudson, away from semi-urban congestion, on two days on each of the next two weekends, including this one according to their sign, rounding out April with extended sale days. That could, it seems to me, correspond with the release — as a knockoff — of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Think just a bit of Knock Weed, or knotweed, barely covering a beauty from...

  • A sideways glance? Easter not only prevailed but lingered, and there have been since Sunday many other signs of spring.
As Easter began to close down, like a defender in March Madness for Michigan kicking U-Conn, the signs still could be seen heading out on the highway, like Jesus in and around Emmaus of old. The man-of-right-age as a driver wore a T-shirt on Monday, the next day, that I think was for a metal band, and could have been either a stick figure with slim limbs and thick torso ready for a spear to come and sitting in a chair, or Christ on the cross bent over a bit sideways, like he’d been forced to haul that awful tree too...
