Its fishers of men when you can’t loiter on the fishing opener, and you might use Mom as bait (OK, we wouldn’t do that, creepier than a bad catfish)

Go fish, and go Mom, wherever they are found (mostly local for this reference, but then there is the Iberian Peninsula):
— OK, the fishing opener has come and gone, and fishers could not go up the currently-closed dike road to the islands of the St. Croix River, and in the other direction could not linger in the parking lot of the bait-laden and fishing-license-selling Holiday store, because it had a No Loitering sign, (like the no parking for less than ice cream at Dairy Queen across the intersection). So, what’s a wayward fisher person to do? Maybe the impetus is that after hours, you know, even if you have to go back to the park hangers-on, they might be fishers of men, and the authorities have frowned on that kind of thing for ALMOST 2,000 years, (or maybe more). Except when sending all such people across Lake St. Croix, back to Minnesota and over to Loring Park.
— What’s Mothers Day for? Taking her out not to a fancy restaurant, but to what is essentially the genealogy shop. Two such area moms who didn’t know each other until the recent holiday recently found out that they’re not really 100 percent Irish at all, but both have a percent or two of being from the “Iberian peninsula.” That cumulatively makes them Four (i)s, or four eyes. I’ll raise a Guinness Toast to all that!
— King Henry The Eighth, as portrayed on the PBS documentary, (and not the comic Monty Python version), looks just like a Kozy Korner co-owner stalwart, agreed myself and friend Tom (just like those many other cable shows beforehand that we watched simultaneously then quickly referenced by chance right when meeting up). And what about the lookalike for somewhat-controversial, departing CSI star Abbs, who used to work at Dick’s, who after a long-time-no-see I ran into twice in a week.

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...
