Two Seasons Bowl - Elkhorn, Wisconsin - Bowling with Dadio
This entry was posted on 12/30/2009 2:25 AM and is filed under Taverns Wisconsin, Bowling with Dadio.
On Sunday and Monday nights after five p.m., bowl for a Buck at Two Seasons Bowl in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. I drove over there in an ice storm so the Buck-a-game was a welcome reprieve. The inexpensive outing is also a distraction from everything else that has gone up in price in this "Great Recession." You know the recession "they" say that is over - what ever! But I digress.
Get a dandy burger, fries, and adult beverage at the bar and grill for around 10 Bucks. Had I not been blinded by an ice storm, I could have caught a glimpse of their golf ball driving range and volleyball set up. I will have to do a road trip next summer and tie my two-iron to the Teal and Cream Harley and knock some golf balls around and then grab a burger.

Wisconsin Military Service Person Special Mention of the Week
(each week Cooldadiomedia mentions a Wisconsin service person killed in Iraq or Afghanistan)
Staff Sergeant Todd Olson, 36, died December 27, 2004, at the 67th Combat Support Hospital in Tikrit, Iraq. He had sustained wounds a day earlier from a roadside bomb detonated in Samarra, Iraq. Olson's home was in Loyal, Wisconsin. Todd was killed two weeks after his Wisconsin National Guard unit arrived in Iraq. He died on patrol when hit by the bomb in Samarra, a town north of Baghdad. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel mentioned Olson had studied finance at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse; he was married and the father of three teenage boys and a five-year-old girl; he was a member of the Loyal School Board; a loan officer at the M&I Bank in Loyal and Neillsville; a youth group leader at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loyal; and, a youth football coach. Staff Sergeant Olson joined the National Guard after he graduated from Loyal High School in 1986. He was attached to the Neillsville Unit Detachment 1, Charley Company, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry Regiment, Wisconsin Army National Guard. They had been activated for training in Mississippi in June of 2004 and arrived in Kuwait in November. The Journal Sentinel went on to say, Olson's unit was a part of the 278th Regimental Combat Team, a combination of soldiers from the Tennessee Army National Guard and Guard members from other states. The 278th made the news a few weeks before Todd's death when a soldier in the unit asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld why some American military members were forced to forage in Iraqi junk yards for armor to weld to and "up-armor" their Humvees. Staff Sergeant Olson was the 33rd Wisconsin military service person from Wisconsin to die in Iraq since spring 2003.
