In news out of Chaska: Some old guy was arrested for starting a fight with a younger dude over his sagging pants.
Question #1: Was “sagging” ever “in style”? Because rampant sagging has been going on for at least 15 years now. If this is a trend, shouldn’t it go away at some point?
Question #2: Although most people will generally concede that folks should be left alone to dress as they want, how acceptable should it be to be openly annoyed by saggers?
Lion or Gazelle released its second EP-thing today. I’m Your Doctor is streaming and available as a free download on the Bandcamp site.
Please do not include the day’s date when making a press release. I know what day it is. My email tells me the date received. The file will even tell me the creation date, if I’m that interested. It is anachronistic, and it is superfluous information.
Some other modern press release style notes I made for a friend after the break:
A few days ago, my wife and I went to check out the new Clearwater Grille, in the old Lakeview Castle building up the north shore (Here’s the map). We always like to get out and see the new restaurants in town, of which there have been a lot over the past several years.
We were both very happily surprised when we got there. The new owners of the Clearwater Grille have done a lot of work and the bar and dining room are very nicely redone compared to the state they had fallen into over the past few years at this iconic building. The bar looks great; very classy. They replaced the nasty carpet with oak hardwood. It’s all been painted of course and there are new tables and chairs. They whole atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious, which some of the recent north shore restaurant additions are leaning toward. But I enjoy them also when I’m in the mood. This place is more approachable.
Author Jay Weiner will be in Duluth tonight for a talk and book signing for his new book This Is Not Florida: How Al Franken Won the Minnesota Senate Recount.

November is Fudge for Troops month. For every customer who purchases one pound of fudge at either the Canal Park or Miller Mall store locations, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory will send a free matching pound of their store made fudge to our troops overseas.
Just in time for the Elections Halloween, I stumbled across Mad Monster Party. I’ve seen a lot of Rankin/Bass stuff, but have never even heard of this one. This is a making of, split into two parts.
I wish Jim Oberstar would either:
a) learn how to read from a Tele-Prompter
or
b) memorize any future on-air speeches.
Hey everyone … our dog ran away yesterday in the Lester Park/Seven Bridges Road area by the hockey rinks. She’s a 10-year old yellow lab named Barley. She’s the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet, and we miss her! If anyone has seen her, please give me a call at 349-4243.
