In Northern Idaho Potlatch Forests had a company town called Potlatch. As with many company towns, they did not allow any alcohol in the town....
Pennsylvania is also the home to Climax, PA. One of my favorites is Truth or Consequences, NM. It was named after a TV show as I recall. There...
Hey Mikey, I'm sure you'll be sticking around. They let a couple of old crusty right wingers like Jamie and me stick around, so I'm sure you'll...
Bob, There are special rules for wait staff here in the US that allows them to be paid well below minimum wage. I think the wages for wait...
There was actually a follow up article by Donn Esmonde in Sunday's paper that downplayed the "problems" that may have occurred. Personally I've...
Yeah Zack, I saw the article. Apparently a number of our neighbors to the North got a little bit drunk and disorderly and became more than a...
As a postscript to the whole tournament, the Russian team is still in Buffalo. They got tossed from their flight home for rowdy and drunken...

Ouch!!! Islander Fans?? That's almost as bad as being a Buffalo Bills fan. With us the Sabres are up one year, down the next. We just get used...
For me, I really won't mind if Canada wins the tourney as they are the better team. It's just great hockey and I wish I would have signed up for...
Swedes beat Canada and the US just barely got past Switzerland. Who would have thought this would be the way this tourney would turn out? Now...
Damn Brewster. I should have gotten you down here to see some good young hockey players and have some wings and some of our local pizza. Maybe...
They had a report in the Buffalo papers that EVERY game in Calgary will be sold out. That is one hell of a major league accomplishment. Most of...
It could get interesting. Canada and the US both have injury problems and Kassian may be suspended for Canada which would also hurt. Russia...
What??? No biscuits and gravy? My mother was from SC and one thing I could never develope a taste for was grits. Come to think of it, I never...
Actually it is a strictly Buffalo thing. It's a German kummelweck (not sure of the spelling) roll covered with thin sliced roast beef. Some like...
