Very well put, thank you. I will be living in Oregon (the state) for a few more months, then back to the Midwest. Fresh water out here is treated with great respect, some of the best trout and salmon rivers in the lower 48. I my opinion, the tree huggers take things a little too far out here...

... of course a photo of the fastest mouth in NHRA

I was at the Pacific Raceway near Seattle over the weekend to see some NHRA racing and was surprised to see a funny car driven by Tommy Johnson Jr. with Make-A-Wish sponsorship. The public address announcer did note that no donations to Make-A-Wish are used for racing sponsorships but any...

So is this going to be the final straw that finally kills our fragile water supply? One example of many recent spills: http://www.postcrescent.com/article/20140530/APC0101/305300159/Faulty-hose-led-manure-leak-dairy?nclick_check=1 Time to act people... contaminated wells, contaminated lakes...

I have been in the beautiful (but crazy) Pacific NW for the past 1-1/2 years and will be completing my duties out here by year end or early 2015. I have an opportunity in Central Wisconsin, north of Wausau and would prefer to live north of Merrill, but my wife would like to live south of Wausau...

I was just looking through the website for a U.P. based realtor and noticed over 330 commercial listings for central and western Yoop. Wow! Seems like an excessive number, and I am sure more will be added once the weather warms up. These are listings for this individual realtor, I am sure total...

Back in 1987, I remember 'Crazy T.V. Lenny' screaming at me on T.V. to come on down and buy a new piece of electronics. So I did, I bought a 'large screen' 27" NEC color T.V. from American in Appleton, complete with price guarantee. The following Sunday I found an ad in the Post Crescent for the...

Was just browsing through John's inaugural journal from 1999. Amazing how fast the time has flown by, and more amazing what John has accomplished in 14 short years. I did not realize that John would do a daily journal entry, now that he is a 'big shot' Yooper we only get a weekly entry! Thanks...
