Even though its a version of Black Friday, day after Halloween, the tricksters are still ‘taking to the street’

Hey its Freaky Friday, and the freaks are still out in force even though its a kinda “off” day in the ongoing Halloween season.
— Guv’s Place is where it all starts, of course, where owner Jess always has dozens and dozens of huge monsters, most hanging from the ceiling, and there are more of the latter this year in the form of ghostly white string demons that use up dozens and dozens of yards of, well, thick string. She even has cleared out a few tables to make room for a creepy corner. And the word is that although big name bands ususually require you to go and see them, sometimes if they are retired and you are their biggest fan (Jess) they will come to you, especially if its the day after Halloween, think Black Friday, and they have been accused of demonic tendencies. So, there is a rumor that Motley Crue might make a brief appearence. OK we’re joking, but are you among the few that get this inside joke? Anyway, there is a costume party this Friday night at Guv’s, as they have elected to take full advantage of the day between Halloween itself and the weekend.
— The Halloween celebrations galour have certain prime nights but also could take in a typically slow night on the (end of time) things and take it to a new level with the longtime characterizations, now in many cases in costume, that have become standard with karaoke at the Bungelow Inn in Lakeland. They will again be at it the Friday after Halloween, (one recalls the perfectly apt name about The Thirteenth), every Friday night, and on this occasion it just might feature the karaoke-meisters attired in frightening/funny way from, who knows, the disco to hair bands.
— If you want the primo in Halloween decorating at stores, and the wide range of different types of specials front and center as you come in the store to go with it, much more than just candy although that is a part of it too, you need to check out Family Fresh in Hudson. All of the aisles as you come into the store have many multiples of scary/spooky characters, and to top it off, there are dozens and dozens of pumpkins all around from a local grower, in that case much more than what is simply being sold. So courtesy of Family Fresh, you can be your one stop spook shop.

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. The...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
