While once at Hugo's, a jolly gym teacher wearing Packer colors informed me that the two scrawny guys at the end of the bar were known as being somewhat fleet of foot in their youth. I told him that I could beat them even with an artificial hip and would spot them each 10 meters. We proceeded out the door to settle the matter, but we never did lace up our Nike’s, as a big gent and owner of a black F-150 stopped us and offered up Rolling Rocks out of his large white cooler. We sat in his truck for hours listening to a Mickey Gilley CD as one of the slender lads kept reaching in the back for more of the refreshing nectars. Never did figure what the big guy meant by referring to the back window as Nube....

I think I've seen this young man at Hugo's. I was so hoping he would ask me to dance but instead I cast my lot with some plow foot with facial hair... my toes are healing fine.

Is the fella with the nice hair of the Hebrew faith? With a proboscis like that he must be one of my brethren. Tell him to bring his tool belt to my synagogue ASAP. It's in dire need of repair.

This cold weather reminds me of the frigid year I was at Hugo's and a group of underdressed men came in for beer and pizza. I had to chuckle as I noticed the skinny one barely got inside and he greatly accelerated his pace as he neared the men's room. I gathered he didn't want to sit on the outhouse seat back at the cabin that day.

Many years ago while enjoying a cold beverage at Hugo's on a hot spring day, a group of young men entered the establishment, telling me they had just gotten off the Cloquet River. I could tell right away that a couple of them were from the Cities. They were all in need of showers and shaves, and I never did get up enough nerve to tell the bigger guy sporting the beige Dockers shorts that he must have soiled himself....

I was hosting a beer tasting (and hopefully a buying) party at Hugo's a few years back...a vintage RV pulled up and spilled out many potential customers, as I noticed the men trying to gain their footing and bearings a voice from in the motorhome called and they piled back in and drove off...geez, that was at least a good seventeen dollars shot to hell!

Watching the football game at Hugo's brought in a different mix of characters, everyone was enjoying the game except for some disgruntled patron who complained that he comes to Hugo's to drink and dance but no one would fill his dance card...would have been fun to watch him circle the floor with pac boots on.

During a trip up north, I was delighted to see that the new owners of Hugo’s had a fresh jar of pickled eggs on display. The bartender heckled the slim lad in the baseball cap as he purchased a couple of them. I noticed he poured on a generous topping of salt and pepper as he made his way to the back room where his friends were playing a game of billiards. Seemed like nice guys….

Trying to digest my turkey dinner at a local Irish pub I overheard a rather comical exchange, a slighter fella was trying to explain to the man with facial hair that he thought the cooler was abandoned and this was the reasoning for drinking all the beer in it.

Last winter while touring Brimson I stopped to watch the Seahawks on Hugos great TV system. It all went fine till a skinney little guy drank all my old #7. His eyes rolled back and out he went, some big Packer fan said it happens all the time. Hope to see if that is true this year.

Last winter while travelling through northern Minnesota I stopped at Hugo's for a break. There was a football game on the television and it was evident that the bigger fella in blue with the red nose was cheering for one team while a couple of slender guys were opposed to this. A distinguished gent with a beard from the Pacific Northwest brought out shots of hard liquor and it was all downhill after that. Where do these people come from???

A few years back while enjoying a draft at Hugo’s I looked across the room and noticed a brown eyed handsome man with facial hair dancing with one of the local ladies. Even though being heckled by his impaired friends at a nearby table, I felt his moves were very impressive. I’m guessing he isn’t from these parts.

I attended a small gathering up north...while not familiar with my surroundings I noticed a big guy offer to go outside and return with beverages for the whole group...the man must have had 6 or 12 beers before he came back in because he bounced off the door frame and then stepped on a melting piece of snow...well beer and rubber soled boots were both competing for air space as he slammed to the linoleum...I noticed he rubbed his head for some time while his nickel nosed friend entertained the group with stories of past welding projects...

Hugo’s was always a good place to stop on the way up to the hunting shack. On one occasion a few years ago I was sitting at the bar and a young man arrived with a couple of his friends. He said he had just consumed a venison steak and several Rolling Rocks. About that time a harsh smell of rotten eggs filled the room and the barmaid began spraying Lysol. I wonder if the bar got a bad batch of pickled eggs or something?

I once went to Hugo's in the 80's. An older gentleman in polyester was at the end of the bar drinking 3.2 beer and smoking Lucky Strikes. He yelled at me when I started singing along to a song from the jukebox, shouting, "You're screwing me up!! Either I sing or you sing!!" Regardless, the pickled eggs were delicious.

What a crazy weekend it was in Brimson last week. I witnessed some goofy guys on a tractor ride.... later, I heard some sweet harmonizing and large bass sounds echoing across the lake. Finally, I spotted a mini van (with some distorted toe-tapping music blaring from it) heading to Hugo's. And that was only Friday night. These guys sure have fun...

One had the sweet soprano voice and the other was saying he always gets blamed for the missing Victoria Secret catalogs. Where do these guys come from????

Veterans who receive VA medication requiring pill splitting, you are being over-charged. Look up and read 38 USC 1722a, if your interested. Paragraph 2 will tell you, veterans’ do not have to pay, “an excess of the cost” for medication. However, for over two years I had deducted these excess over-charges from my VA payments. After my participation on GCN radio’s, “The Veterans Hour” the Treasury Department advised they would “off-set” this indebtedness. I coughed up. The VA seized these over-charges, my property, without explanation or due process, in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments.

I advised Hines VA hospital I am going to file an appeal with the Veterans Board of Appeals and as required, a denial is needed from them. With laws, factors and regulations in making their determination. Also, the veterans advocate, advised me that the VA billing system does not recognize paragraph 2. In other words, the VA knowingly cheats, defrauds, ignores, and violates the law by taking your money illegally. To date, in violation of the 1st Amendment (my right to petition the government to redress grievances), I have not received a reply as to my request from the Hines VA legal Department. They will not answer because they don’t know how.

Will someone with pull, write VA Hines Legal Department. I want my day in court!
