The last time I was in Wisconsin was with the Marines in ‘85. My battalion was at McCoy and I stepped on some kind of bee hive and got stung about 15 times. My buddies were laughing at me as I ran around like a cartoon, slapping myself.

Anyway, we went on leave and tried to get a hotel in Madison. At two places the desk clerk took one look at us and just slowly shook his head. We took the hint and got out of there, ended up in a place called Fun to Lick. Gorgeous place. I liked Wisconsin.

Wull hay... I was in Columbus WI in '55 (30 yrs earlier than you) workin on construction at a christian boarding school and one night while sleepin in the boys dorm I got woke up by some terrible tire squealin an then a big crash sound. Next mornin I asked 'em at the breakfast table if anybody else had heard anything and they said: "Yes! Some drunk took the curve on our road across our creek way too fast and got hiself killed!"

Well this was about my first time livin anytime away from home as I was about 13 and me hearin that guy dyin in that crash really shook me up.

I always thot that place was called Fun do Lack! What's up with that? Eh?

I learned that "Eh?" stuff from drivin through British Columbia to AK and back this summer. When I was up there for the summer vacation in '57 they allowed us to "snag" salmon only for that one time summer!

So I guess, to wrap this up, I musta turned against drinkin much of anything because of that poor bastard layin on the creek bank dyin most of the night in Columbus WI. And the other thing, to put the ribbon on alla this, is that after snaggin salmon in AK rivers, I got spoiled about waitin fer fish ta bite me hook, ok?
