The Milwaukee Burger Co. says patrons can bring in their Favre jerseys, pictures, posters and memorabilia and toss them into the barrel. The bar plans to donate $10 to an unspecified charity for each piece burned
Smoke from burning garbage stinks, can trigger asthma attacks and contains toxic compounds. Open burning of household solid wastes also is illegal with limited exceptions For example, it is illegal to burn all plastic materials, kitchen wastes, dirty or wet paper wastes, treated or painted wood, furniture and demolition material – or any other material that creates a nuisance. The exceptions include (if not prohibited by local ordinance) lawn and garden debris, small quantities of clean, untreated, unpainted wood and clean paper waste that is not recyclable
It then goes on to suggest Alternatives
Reuse: Reuse household items and give toys, clothes and furniture that you no longer want or need to someone who can use them.
Recycle: It’s the law in Wisconsin to recycle plastic, glass, metal, newspaper and cardboard. Take your recyclables to the recycling center closest to your house if there is no roadside recycling pick-up.
So unless the Favre pictures, posters and memorabilia are made out of clean paper and don’t have any plastic they cannot be burned by law. Also, it appears that burning clothing may also be against the law.
Why can’t this stuff be given to a charity that will reuse and recycle?
Wright County authorities are investigating an underground teenagers’ fight club in Monticello that sent at least one fighter to the hospital a week ago.
“We’ve heard of fights before, but nothing organized like this, where they put a video on YouTube,” said Lt. Todd Hoffman, a Wright County sheriff’s deputy. “We just want to put a stop to it before somebody is severely injured.”
A clip of the fight, subsequently taken down, was briefly posted online, he said.
I thought kids these days were raised to believe that everyone is a winner?

“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” Marcus Tullius Cicero
As you know the results shake out like this, Twins still behind, Favre hurt his fingernail, and the Gophers had a tough opponent that took it to them.
As you may not know there is a rift in the Mn sports community as to what the Gopher’s new TCF Stadium should be called; the two main nicknames seem to be “The Bank” and “The Vault”.
Here’s how I see it, if the team is going to metaphorically match the nickname as “The Bank” they would need to go big on Offense and as “The Vault” the would want to be stingy on Defense.
It seems the Football Captains want to name it Awesome
In health care, we vow to “first do no harm.” If only politicians had to make a similar promise.
As a family physician, I’ve spent a lot of time debunking myths about health care that my patients see on the Internet, late night TV or in the back pages of magazines.
I never dreamed I would have to debunk myths about health care from our elected officials and supposed leaders
…Before such people presume to regulate and reform my profession, they should try holding themselves to its ethical standards
“supposed leaders” Here, Here!
Hear, all ye good people, hear what this brilliant and eloquent speaker has to say!
Please feel free to spread or debunk a myth in the comments.
