Another challenge from David Serie

Although I played most of my pool at the Corner Bar/Cafe in Miltona, which later helped me win a few bucks with my cousin when I was going to St. Cloud State, I do remember going into Seegers smokey, dark, basement bar a few times.
I agree with Jim, every young man should have a place like that to go. Where else can you learn and talk about the opposite sex, exchange stories about your teachers (I don't remember much discussion about homework), talk some trash with your opponent, find out where the partiesare for the upcoming weekend, talk some politics (not often), and find some older gentleman to buy you a six-pack of beer?
Everything was there! Life was good! Simple! I'm not sure if those type of places are around anymore for the kids but if not they are sure missing a lot. Friendships were made and solidified in places like that. It was fun and cheap and kept us out of any "major" trouble.

This leads me a another challenge. ( I still have a standing softball challenge that never materialized at the reunion, (must be age) for the "city boys", McCabe, Krebs, McPhee etc, vs the rural boys, Larry Olson, the Serie's (I get to bring my 26 and 28 year old boys Chris and Mike) and whoever else I can round up.)
Anyway, a pool challenge has now been presented as well to the city guys. How about it Jim C., Rolfsrud, McPhee, Kochie, Hoffland, etc.!! We'd better do it soon while we're all still around and kicking. We probably only have another 25-30 years left! I'm sure we can find a place like Harold's or the Corner Cafe in Miltona settle bets. We'll need a place that has "lite" beer however!
