  • Summary

  • If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to live in a place where you pick up your cheese curds by the cash register, then the Burly Flow Podcast just might be for you. Or maybe you know what it’s like, but had to move away. Or you just don’t get to spend as much time there as you’d like. Then let the Burly Flow Podcast bring you a little closer to the things you miss. Every week, writer Eric Johnson (This Ain’t Provence) celebrates life in the Good Enough region of Wisconsin by bringing you another story from Burly Flow, the small town on the banks of the Mississippi River he’s returned to after 20 years away. Now he’s back and living in the local landmark known as The Eye — drinking coffee at the Prop Wash, beer at the Bilge Pump, and keeping busy doing the special brand of nothing his neighbors seem to have perfected.

    “So, tell me perr-fessor,” Leland Potter said, shifting over to the stool next to mine. “What’s the deal with this Hemingway guy?”

    “Big topic, Hemingway.”

    “It’s a long afternoon.”

    Leland calls me professor because he’s heard I worked at a university. Also, and probably more importantly, I’m not a local, so he presumes that if I’m not actually a professor, I’m at least smart enough to be one. That holds true for every outsider, by the way. Unless they’re from Iowa.

    Part of our fascination with Nickel Ross' age came from the fact that he was even still around. Nobody crashes an airplane five times over the course of a life. At least nobody who makes it to 83.

    But that’s just what he did. Shot down twice in WWII. Busted a nose wheel in Korea. Clipped a wire during his crop dusting days out west. Then lost an engine on takeoff in the 80s “just to remember what it felt like.”

    Five crashes.

    Eighty-three years old.
