Why walk?

No reason to walk! Becky and Seth Nelson’s kids have been providing anglers coming to fish the Rainy River’s early season rides to their boats at Nelson Park in Birchdale for some years, they report. Their oldest, Christian, did it for about 8 years but this year he passed it off to his brother, Hoyt. Becky said the young fellas have fun doing it and the anglers sure like not having to walk all that way. CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

LIFEBLOOD

When I was a kid maybe 8 or 9 years old, I used to lay in the backseat of the family sta-tion wagon and look out the windows at the sky zooming by. In the foreground there would be telephone poles with wire strung out, seemingly moving with the car, oscillating up and down from pole to pole, dipping in-between. Repeating over and on to the next pole. It made for a rhythmic and graphic sensation, a facsimile of a modern cardiac monitor in a way.
