A Winter Wonderland

Yes, there actually was a winter in Wisconsin this year. One which allowed me to explore the beauty of snow covered trees, and more importantly allowed me to use my snow blower.

Though, the sun probably would have done a much better job. 

The "winter" did not last long. And though deeply disturbing, I'm sort of enjoying it.  Had I not started biking my feelings would be drastically different.

March 3rd, Really?

I am stunned that within a couple of weeks of this day I would be riding my bike in 84 degree weather.  I know that March is thought to come in like a lion, and go out like a lamb, but this is unreal.  I strung together 8 days of riding before the rain knocked me out.  Maybe I should just go around the block a couple of times for good measure and  hold my streak.

The Door

A door of truth and exploration. The door to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  I'm not quite sure what will happy when the newspapers run out of print and subscribers, but I'll have to agree with the old curmudgeons that there is a lot to be lost.

Nice Try

I'm fairly certain this is a terrible rendition of Stalin.  I could be wrong.

The Door

The other door said, "I used to paint trains here". Which is funny, because they meant paint with graffiti, not like it was there job. There used to be four or five abandoned cars for them to mess up, along with an old crane. Now they just have this boring wall.

Day Care

Nearest I could tell the faithful had long moved out, and it was now a daycare. Also, who buys these things when the church moves out of the church? I remember the one in Madison that was a party house in its after life, but that was nothing like this classic. There must be hundreds, if not thousands of abandoned churches around the country.

Simply Cold

I thought we'd be able to brave a cold evening to watch the sunset. It didn't take long before I was calling uncle. Holy cold, what happened to fake spring and non-existent winter?
