JSS-- Just Some Stuff.
1. FISH BOIL TONIGHT-- In a few hours we're going out to Horse Fair Park in Spring Grove for the annual Wisconsin fish boil put on by Fitzgerald's in Genoa City, Wisconsin, to raise money for the Spring Grove Fish Hatchery. At one time, most of all the fish stocked into northern Illinois' waters were raised here.
It closed down and the state sold it to the village for $1 and we're in the process of turning it into a park and it is sure looking good these days. There is even a little museum in the former Fish House.
Another thing Spring Grove is noted for is the birthplace of the farm silo.
Good eating, good times and a band will be playing. A nice way to spend a Friday evening.
2. MR. MYERS HERE-- Tuesday, while at Never Sink Inn, we saw that Mr. Myers will be performing at Spring Grove's Fourth of July celebration (always held on the actual day). We've been following this group ever since the early 1970s when they started playing at Andy's in Dekalb, right on the Lincoln Highway. I'd best describe them as playing CaribbeanRock, with lots of Buffett and reggae as well as Cowboy Beach Music.
3. BLESS THEIR GREEDY LITTLE HEARTS-- Yesterday, I saw that gas at the station on US-12 had "dropped" all the way down to $4.23 from $4.27 (if you pay cash, otherwise add 4 cents). Today I was in McHenry and see they were at $4.20, so perhaps Spring Grove is "down" to that as well. Yesterday, I filled up with gas in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, for $4.20 a gallon, the most I've ever paid for regular. We just have to do something with the GRBs at Big Oil.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
