Before Northern Exposure or Cheers, Teddy ran a bar in rural New England. Elvis died. Loggers arrived. UFOs flew. Skylab dropped. Snow fell. Trucks crashed. Tempers flared. The jukebox played. And people drank. Heavily. Ice wasn't the only thing that cracked as events spiraled out of control. Teddy wanted to strike back at several of his worst customers, but would he? Was it really that bad? In the back of his cash ledger, Teddy listed private reminders.

1. Fix front door. Again.
2. Don't fly with student pilots. Ever Again!
3. DO NOT run tabs for woodchoppers!!
4. Install bars on windows. And doors.
5. Steal the kid's bike.
6. Stop telling people where I live!!!
7. STOP loaning customers $$.
8. Stay on good side of Phil (bad cop).
9. Steal the kid's motorboat.
10. DO NOT sell Two Pin 3 beers!
