Have to agree. This update is just awful. I'm going to try to use the contact us link on the bottom right to send a complaint - hopefully they are aware how bad this is; but, just in case.

Now, I have to make at least 3 adjustments to find the most recent posts. No idea what these guys were thinking.
Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

I just came here to bit¢h and talk with my brothers (and sisters if they are any).
1st; most of you know in late March I was supposed to go to Winnipeg for an Avalanche game against the Jets. Canceled.
2nd; this is the week I've annually been going to central Manitoba for 35 ****ing years. Of course, we canceled it weeks ago without the border open.
What a M*^%$#^&)_*(^%G , lousy, F@*&^$%, b*&$%#!+, year 2020 has been. Only 6 months to go.
How's everybody doing? My wife and I decided last week to GTFO of Madison. It's scary here and the "city leaders" are weak.
I'm looking around Cottage Grove or McFarland area (out of the Madison tax and school district), so if anybody lives there, fill me in on your lovely villages until hawkey tawk resumes.Last edited by MadCityRich; 06-23-2020, 04:00 PM."Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi

We camp @ Kegonsa St Park (when the freaking stupid commie Governor allows us to of course. People could pile into the parks during the day and be all over eachother, but we could not stay over night in our travel trailer on our own site and mind our own business staying way more than 6 ft away from people not using any public facilities at all) and we spend a fair amount of time in McFarland. I really like that town. Close enough to Madison, right on lovely Lake Waubesa. I'll never be able to afford it, but when I retire I'd like to live there. In the fall last year we camped, fished in the am, went to a women's hockey game and chilled at the site that evening, it does not get any better than that. There's a little restaurant (Luke's?) we went to for breakfast and I had crabcakes Benedict. WOW, that was awesome. One of the best things I ate last year. The little Italian place next to Culvers is really good too. For Chinese, I prefer the one in Stoughton to the one in McFarland.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

I wouldn't mind retiring on the north end of Lake Kegonsa but you can't get to Waubesa from there. Kegonsa is underfished and not busy at all.
"the freaking stupid commie Governor". Haha, I love it but don't blame HIM. He can only do what the puppet strings allow."Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi

Yep. Luke's (a classic cafe) and Angelo's (awesome Italian) are a couple of blocks apart. The Maple Tree (a classic supper club) is across the street. All 3 are excellent. From where I live in Madison, I can be at any 3 of those in 10 minutes. When Mr.MadCityRich was alive, we usually launched and fished in L. Monona and sometimes would take the Yahara River to L. Waubesa. If we would target Waubesa, we would launch at Babcock and take in Luke's. Thanks for the memories, Tim!

25 minutes max to downtown Madison. 5 minutes to Lake Kegonsa.

Um no. The contrast in the seasons is what makes Wisconsin so enjoyable.
The problem here in northern Minnesota is that the winter is relentless, much like summer in Arizona. No break from below 32F daytime/nighttime for 3 - 4 months like no break from 80F+ in AZ desert in summer, unless again, you drive 50 miles north. Then in MN winter you throw in the wind factor with the below zero temperatures.......Then you throw in only 8 hours of sunlight, if its not clouded over for a week or two..... I won't elaborate on taxes.
And MN only has 2 seasons, winter's coming and winter's here, aka road repair season and winter.
So, many of the Canadian snowbirds have a saying. "The first snowflake to hit me is God's fault, the second is my fault". It works for me, like going into a hockey rink to cool off not to warm up, but its not for everyone, you have to have a job/retirement that allows, family that goes for it, or maybe a person just plain likes it very cold and the outdoor activities that go with such .....

And by the way, Minneapolis is definitely off-limits for me from now on. A "holistic" approach to public safety? No police department?Last edited by MadCityRich; 06-26-2020, 10:05 PM."Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi
