It’s just a hop, skip and jump, moving and grooving like a hot/cool firework, to jog a bit north when making your run (barely past) the border, and the typically discounted and huge inventory at Fireworks Nation will blow your socks off. All this potent stuff is the real deal, no duds, sold with real value and safe consumer deals. That’s why The Nation says they have this region’s largest selection, and truly is a superstore.

They’re named Fireworks Nation, but in our Fireworks loving State, and the one nextdoor, they just may be the biggest

Hey, I’m on a boat! Was offered a cruise around waters I’d never been before — and that’s all of them. I didn’t know to what degree you can shift on a skiff. So this first time would be an awakening, from a wise but not so old sailor, in many ways, as he sailed away with me. —– And for a post placed “below deck” see my take on bumpstock.

The St. Croix River can be wide and even windy, with clouds sneaking up suddenly from their western perch just

One Rayder? And two or three? Look like them? Even though a River Falls product, or products, as just down the road, we’re close enough to their initial headquarters. People and patrons have been down that road, sorta with who they see, lately and locally. River Falls has started a runway for — well-deserved and this is part of that — recognition that’s spread way beyond regionally, modelingwise. And great for that, and all of them. Do you look the part(ed hair)?

There, there, are Rayders everywhere, up the street, around the square. Bringing it back home, in the area and worldwide.

Trekking to all the summer fests have you driving in circles? Well here is a list of those most heavily attended, presenting in a way with a few added hoops to loop through and thus sightsee. To come and go and get you these places, I’ll take you around the outskirts of western Wisconsin, where most of the action is, and down its biggest riverway, across south hill country, and running up the Dunn and then back along the Polk County lines. Happy Trails! And come back more than once, you hear?

Summer is now here, basically if not yet officially, and the fests follow. You would have to wait until June

They could be the sunshine of my love, getting there from passing by sunflower fields forever. Or at least what would turn out to be back-to-back nights on stage in Stillwater. The venue for the band was The Freighthouse, and the freight coulda been bunches of bales of sunflowers. At least the falling rain would help them grow, in their playing, so we could be Sippin’ On Sunflowers. And to dip down well into Pierce County, the usual suspects strumming on Saturday night would be, well, The Usual Suspects.

They promised to be sunshine on a cloudy day, but when the rains came on Friday night, the last one

The Wolves were howling with wholesale wins, but now whining, to the point that they could be heard in western Wisconsin, and its new faithful found here, and keeping the faith better than the fickle back by the Target Center. But some of them have come here to watch. So those with such an interest multiplied from being in the single digits to the hundred(s). For now.

Since the T-Wolves crossed into the tundra, they have been frozen out. Again green with envy over Green Bay. Around

Continuing storms aside, like a side salad, when The Three-Day Weekend comes, where will you come from? I-94 will continue to be, by some estimations, at one-quarter capacity, so how do you get to the massive Memorial Day music and more in Hudson, and see added info in a coming post. (Hastings into Prescott, as I’ll show, steps forward as more of a possible savior than Stillwater into Houlton.)

A tornado was seen south of The Cities, and its pix posted on social media and thus picked up as
