I am CuTRis

This excersize place went out of business in 2010. Could it have been for false advertising ?

The city lakes seem to have more fish than the ones up north!

June 12, 2011 We left St. Paul at 8:30 AM. We stopped for lunch in Two Harbors , and saw a moose along the road near the Cascade River. We stopped at Buck’s Hardware in Grand Marais to buy minnows for bait. Then we drove 48 miles up the Gunflint Trail to Heston's Lodge where we checked into the White Pine cabin at about 3:30 PM. We went canoeing on Gunflint Lake , which is divided down the center and half is in Minnesota and half is in Canada. I think we were slightly over into Canada when the wind came up, and we had to paddle hard to get back. After dinner we went fishing off the dock. We found the same radio station we listened to last year ; 105.3FM, the Giant . June 13, 20100 At 5:00 AM we went fishing from the dock. It was 5 degrees Celsius, or 40 degrees Fahrenheit. After we stopped to make breakfast burritos, we rented a boat and motor for four hours. Besides fishing until Noon, we also stopped at “Campers Island.” Our early and busy day, caused us to nap after we got...

Duluth , Minnesota is a Traffic Nightmare. There has been construction on I-35 for about three years and it is down to a single lane with no shoulder through town. I’ve been caught in this every year lately, as I go through this otherwise interesting town. This past Saturday, Duluth hosted Grandma’s Marathon . For some reason when we came through about 1:30 PM (returning from our trip up the Gunflint Trail), Someone who is apparently an idiot had decided to close the ramps onto south I-35, and route traffic through downtown Duluth into the aftermath of the Grandma’s Marathon. There were no signs to direct us through, and half of the streets in the downtown were closed. We were stuck in traffic, being funneled deeper into the mass of traffic generated by the race. After an hour, I finally managed to find my way out and unto the single-lane of the freeway that seems to be forever under construction. So who’s “bright idea” was it to funnel all of the traffic into downtown instead of allev...

My wife and I spent the last four days up the Gunflint Trail. We're back in Grand Marais now. Watch for photos soon.

The buck bus stops here!

Yesterday the Minneapolis/St. Paul area hit 103 degrees Fahrenheit and was the hottest place in the nation!

Cutris strolled up to the microphone, tapped it, and then began to speak. "His name is 'Representative Weiner,' did he ever really have a chance? "People are now analyzing Mr. Weiner ..." Someone walked up to the podium and beckoned to Cutris . The man whispered something to Cutris . "What?" said Cutris irritatedly. "His name is Anthony??? Are you sure?" The person whispered something else to Cutris , and then sat back down. Cutris cleared his throat and continued. "Based on recent information I have no further comment." Cutris exited the stage.

Over the weekend I saw some people swinging around from ropes on the side of a big building in downtown St. Paul . It was part of the Flint Hills International Children's Festival . So whenever something like this is going on, people always warn you, "Don't try this at home!" I didn't listen! When I got home, I was hanging from the top of my garage from a clothesline doing some really cool stunts while Metallica was playing in the background! Then all of a sudden, the clothesline broke! I fell almost three feet to the ground! Wow! I sure learned my lesson! I'm going to stop at the hardware store and get some rope before I try that again!

Cutris Uses Book Royalties to Buy M & M's UnAssociated Press June 3, 2011 After selling one million copies of his novel Cottonwood , (including his Amazon sales ), Cutris says he is ready to make a big purchase! When the UAP asked him what he planned to buy, Cutris replied that he was planning to buy a large bag of M&M'S . This seemed like an awfully small purchase for a man who has sold a million copies of his novel Cottonwood , (including his Amazon sales ), so we at the UnAssociated Press decided to ask him about it. AP: So why aren't you going to buy something big? A million copies is a lot of books to sell. Cutris: Yes, that is true. However, when you are a relatively unknown author, the publisher keeps most of the profits. If you have an agent, they get their cut. By the time you get back to the author, there isn't very much money left. AP: How much do you think you've made so far? Cutris: Let's see... One million sold, minus publisher...

One Million Sold! UnAssociated Press June 2, 2011 Cutris has sold one million copies of his novel Cottonwood according to one source today. When asked about it Cutris replied, "Yeah probably, if you count the Amazon sales ."
