I'm not sure how far you're willing to travel, but the Emmaus Place gift shop in Litchfield has them for about $60, comes with the dowel and everything. I'm trying to justify the price of buying one this year, myself.

NLW: The Soo Line Trail

NLW: The Soo Line Trail from Genola, MN to Superior, Wi area is 1/2 paved and 1/2 unpaved (at least in some parts I have seen). Maybe this would be a good option for the Luce Line Trail.

Ray's posts are always very enlightening. I'd compare them to wearing a pair of welding goggles. Mayor material? I think I'll need a better pair of goggles.

Change is good - and I remember when an old incumbant was voted out simply for change to the current - it is time

I would be surprised if Raymond makes a run at the Mayor's office. I think he tends to polorize people with his many letters and posts. He did not do well in his first run at City Council and spent a ton of money on his campaign.

Looking forward to your run

Thank you for coming to my defense. As you can see I am no writer. I do not force any one to read my stories. I write about my experiences, and all the stories are true that I post. I may not have the elegant wordings some authors have. However, I think I will get there eventually.

Mr. Jensen grew up in the lead-based paint era. Perhaps we should cut him some slack. Hey RJ, was that really the worst story you've ever read?

Yes, Pat, RJ is a reader...

Yes, Pat, RJ is a reader... at the first-grade level. Clearly, he does better with picture books. Punctuation? Not his strong point. Capitalization? Missed that class entirely. Spelling? 'Nuff said. Common sense? Sorry, that was a silly question.

Wow, you know how to read????

Let me guess... too much punctuation for your taste, huh Mr. Jensen.

As always, you are at the top of your game. I eagerly await your next post and am still looking forward to your big Halloween story.

Yes, family and friends still visit the memorial in the ditch (not private property) and they maintain it. The parents drive by it all the time. The intersection of Airport Road and Jefferson has been the site of many accidents. This memorial is a reminder of what can and has happened at this intersection.

As far as being a danger to snowmobiles, has anyone noticed where the house number signs have been posted in the country? They are in the center of the ditch near driveway approaches, exactly where the snowmobilers drive.

I have also noticed numerous memorial markers that have been in place for years. Let's leave well enough alone.

bosoxguy — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:29:28 -0500

What is the purpose of the roadside memorials and how does it differ from cemetery memorials? Do family and friends actually visit these sites routinely or do the sites simply mark the location of a tragic death? I've gone through many deaths in my lifetime, with a few tragic accidents, but I have never experienced a roadside memorial. I go to the cemetery to pay my respects to my father, grandparents and others, and I'm sure this is where most people go rather than standing in a ditch, but I could be wrong. I certainly understand the grieving process and I'm sure these roadside memorials help those to deal with the loss, but is there ever a point in time when they are no longer needed? Are they replaced when they start to wear down? Has anyone ever seen memorials placed on private property? There are a lot of questions on just this one topic but nobody likes to ask as they will be perceived as being insensitive.
