Flu Season News

Flu season is always a challenging one in the world of healthcare.  Well, not so much the actual flu and sick people, we know what to do to treat the illness.  It is the flu vaccine season that is hardest.

Every year we pre-order vaccines based on the last year’s numbers.  Then we try to plan  (more…)

Two Harbors Spring

Ya just gotta love it. 73 degrees and sunny on Friday, 50 degrees and that lovely cloudy, damp, cold feeling weather on Saturday, to 34 degrees and snow today.

Nice Story

Sometimes I can be surprised.  This would be one of those times.  After thinking that the Two Harbors paper was never going to write anything, they did (Thank you Monica Isely).  And then the Duluth paper picked up the story too.  Very nice.  Here’s the link:  “Two Harbors’ last barber closes up shop” Now I will quit talking about this for a while . . . . . . . .  Well, I might still have to give an occasional “Jimmy Update” because he’s sort of an interesting guy.

Winter Day

Snow fell during the night.  Winter is settling in for a protracted stay.  Today the wind was swirling the snow dust into a haze just a few inches above the  snow already on the ground.  The surface of the snow looked like rippling sand dunes.  It was really pretty.

Crow is good!

Mmmmm . . . . . . sometimes I have to eat a little crow, so I’ve decided I might as well like it.

Although I have yet to receive a response to the emails I sent to the Chronicle, I was informed today that Monica Isely interviewed Dad a couple of evenings ago.  The story is already published on the Chronicle site.  Here’s the link: http://www.twoharborsmn.com/articles/index.cfm?id=17793&section=homepage

Thank you Monica.

Disappointment

In 1999, I started this site for a couple of reasons; to reconnect with my hometown (I was living far away at the time) and to give people a place to post all sorts of nonsense after the Lake County News Chronicle really clamped down on what they would allow to be posted on their site.  (more…)

The last barber . . . . . .

Remember way back when?  When men went to barber shops and women went to beauty shops?  I don’t know that there was anything particularly sexist about it, it was just the way it was.  As years have gone by, barbers have become more scarce and “stylists” have become more prevalent.  Barbers and stylists all cut hair, but their education and focus are different.

Its almost gone . . .

Wow – it really is almost gone.  The people living on 4th Ave and below must be thrilled to have a new view of the world.  All that was left of the old high school when I last checked was a little bit of the gym end, the boiler room, bandroom, and part of the backstage/theater area. I suppose that will vanish shortly also.
