My good buddy "Blinky" Johnson, house painter and apartment renovator extraordinaire (not to mention renown author of "Rescuing Clare") boogied up from Madison this past thursday so I made reservations for yet another foray to the Durand Rod and Gun Club for the Jack Harmon chicken dinner -- always very well attended as can be attested by the jammed parking lot pictured here.

We went inside and purchased our tickets, fighting our way through the crowded ar and wondering how a group of people can continue to expand their vocal volume to the point that you have to order a beer in sign language.
