Ball to the Wall
A friend is conducting his motorbike from Minnesota to the South Pole. After painstaking deliberation, I decided for the sake of education, as he is an educator of troubled youth, that he wouldn’t mind if you guys snuck a peak.

A mind-bending and face melting rock ‘n’ roll show.
A musical co-mingling for you’re personal auditory pleasure sensors that promises to be friendly to all inner ear receivers! Bring mom&pop and brother&sis, this one is for all to hear! There is rock for one and rock for all, post-rock, math-rock, alt-rock, small-rock, big-rock, igneous-rock, sedimentary-rock, and plenty more rock jokes where that came from! Come on out if you like rock(s)! Beaner’s Central is the place to be!
With Wyatt Famous’ lead singer in the ER with bronchitis, Excuse Me Princess will kick off Anti-Valentine’s at 9:30 down at the Rex.
Don’t wait to get your tickets for the newest beer and wine fest around town (these things are known to sell out, even without the Trampled show post-party). You can get them online. Hope to see some of you there! (PS – I tried to get a room at Black Bear last week because I have friends coming up from Mpls, and they were sold out. If you’re worried about driving, there’s a free shuttle between Fond-du-Luth & Black Bear all night. Keep it safe!)
Bill Flannagan will be playing some good old Rockin’ Honky Tonkin’ Blues on Friday, Feb 11, at Sir Benedict’s Tavern. Start time is 9pm sharp. Come for the excellent Surlys beer on tap and stay for the music.
Looking for a fun school winter break option? Check out Hartley’s Winter Break Camps, Feb. 22-25. Just a few openings left for ages 5-7, 8-9, & 10-13. Come and have some fun in the snow. Check this link for registration information — hartleynature.org/learn/daycamp.html
While this is interesting in general, what makes it PDD material is Dougherty’s reference to Robot Boy from Duluth at about 6:12.

My wife and I went to Lillian’s on First Street this week. I just recently noticed that something went into the old New Moon location when passing it on the bus, though apparently, they’ve been here since August.
I was just downtown and parked at the meters in front of Pizza Luce and the Technology Village. I noticed that the hours that the meters were enforced was until 9pm. It looked like there was a new sticker covering up the old one. When did this change, and does anyone know if it is actually enforced? I just noticed it, could have been there for a while before.
With tax time upon us, one has to wonder where all of the money is going that is supposed to be maintaining our roads?
How many roads have gone without repair this year because funding was instead redirected to horrific ideas like installing an ‘s’ curve at the end of the freeway where it joins to London Road?
What kind of brilliant ‘road engineer’ would go out of the way to bend traffic with a ‘I’ll show you’ attitude regarding a speed drop from 50, to 40? Is the message here that he would rather see faster moving men, women, and children in a horrific accident then to be traveling fast?
Is that the same mentality behind the ‘speed bump’ pot-holes? What’s next? Barrels in the road that we will have to weave between?
