'the bottoms'
Last night I was cleaning up some stuff to bring home to DC from my closet back home in Wisconsin. Is there any question these were from the storage bins of a gay liberal eco-freak?
And here is photographic proof of the existence of batterfried cheese curds:
I got the batterfried cheese curds at the Minneapolis airport's A&W Root Beer Stand:
And, as promised, proof that anglo Caucasians perform manual labor in middle America.
Whoa, John Kerry was a five minute drive from my mom's house in Holmen and I didn't even know it. He was shootin' clay pigeons at the Gunslick Trap Club. Sorry this bearcub reporter was sleeping on the job.
Speaking of sleeping, I've done much of it. And eating. My back feels better though. I think a fat deposit has formed around my spasming back muscle, numbing and relaxing it like the fat has relaxed and numbed the rest of my body. Both of my brothers are more ripped than me, and it causes this gay sibling no end of distress and frustration. It's just not right that the gay brother is the chunky one.
I did get to go out on the rail-to-trail biketrail through the local stretch of the Mississippi River bottomlands. Locally, they are known as 'The Bottoms'. No, it's not where the local branch of 'SportsBuds' or the 'FratBrosClubDC' on Yahoo gather. I managed to get some nice pics of prairie wildflowers, including goatsbeard, blazing star, wild mullein, butter 'n eggs and a shot of the Burlington Northern train that rides along the bike trail.

Wow, an old "Round Up" mag. Did you know that I'm on the cover of the *next-to-last* Round Up?
I try not to take it personally...

TJ has been pushing that Frat stuff for close to a decade now. Just what DC needs, another sex club for all the guys still stuck in the closet.

TJ's got more issues than National Geographic.

Fried cheese curds. I SO didn't need to read that this early in the morning.

They really are very tasty. The Holmen Korn Fest is the weekend of August 19-21, fyi. Care to join me?

Okay, true confession time. We have fried cheese curds over here in Michigan on the other side of the lake. I tried them last month. I was not impressed.

OMG TJ did NOT put an abercrombie pict in his yahoo group thing! As if any of those guys would be caught dead in some lame group like that.
