An open call for all Pelicans: the Moline Law Firm is holding an open house on August 23, begnining at 4 pm on the deck of the Freighthouse in Stillwater, overlooking the clear waters of the St. Croix River. Those who are invited include employees of the largest manufacturer of residential windows and glass doors in the US (coincidentally headquartered in lovely Bayport, Minnesota) all other clients of the Moline Law Firm, and anyone who happens to hear about it from any source whatsoever. Beer, beer and ribs are on the menu, with anything else you want to order also available.
Shawn and Tabs, heck, even Mule are most welcome. If you can't be there, I will hoist a glass to you and all sensible people who wish they too were spending a weekday afternoon in paradise. I mean drinking free beer.

I wish I could be there and even had plans to take the E across country with a stop up to see friends in Eagan, but I'm a little behind on the restoration. Stillwater is the best place I've ever lived. Whole block would take to the river every weekend and go camping on a sandbar upstream, catch some walleye for dinner and rope swing from a 300 foot railroad bridge into the river. I think the rope was probably 50 feet up, but the arc was forever, the drop stung hitting the water. Lumberjack Days were the best. Brats soaked in beer at Brines, when it was still just a regular old meet market. In the 70s - 80s, Stillwater was the center of the universe because it hadn't been spoiled tourists. Too kitchy for me now, and Brine's upstairs was remade sadly. Never did get that 1920s nickel glued to the floor.
I'm back every year for Thanksgiving with friends, a ritual I cherish the whole year prior.
