My Cito (the black lab in the front) came up from Kentucky. I was told at the time that the Wisconsin Humane Society gets a lot of dogs from the South because Wisconsinites adopt and Southerners just don’t.

With most motorcycles, you can bump start them and the vast majority of the wiring on the bike is exposed to everybody and everything. I can see them falling into a similar space as the voiture sans permis.

Last year, the talking heads were predicting a 76% chance of recession. Someone seems to be really eager for some relevance.

Colectivo is good but I wouldn’t sleep on Stone Creek from Milwaukee. They retooled their cafes a decade ago to be less like Starbucks or Caribou and more of a geekier experience. Their selection is pretty baller, their educational programs are neat (https://www.stonecreekcoffee.com/public-classes/), and their devotion to sustainability is admirable, IMHO.

$6.3 million feels like a lot. Did they even build anything there?

I used to work for a UW-system university and we always took the open meetings laws super seriously. It was to the point where you had to read a script when a meeting goes into closed session to cover your ass.

This was supposed to be dealt with back in May. Even if the continuing resolution gets through the Senate, I’m guessing that we are going to be back here a month from now but with no house speaker (after Lauren Boebert and company force him out of the speakership for being “too liberal”).

“If voters want change, they should go to the polls” doesn’t work anymore. I don’t know if it is the Democrats’ spinelessness or the fact that the GOP is doing everything that they can to gerrymander and rig elections, or when that fails, just try to overthrow the damn government. We really need a plan B, though.

That looks amazing.

Over the past 2 years, Republican-controlled states have been quitting the Electronic Registration Information Center like it’s going out of style. Conspiracy theorists insist that it is some sort of liberal front for controlling elections. In reality, it is just a way of making sure that someone isn’t registered to vote in two states at the same time. I’m just glad that Evers is there to veto the bill.

I thought that he had passed, a while ago. 99 years is a good run.

Spay and neuter, folks!

… or walk?

Fewer CO2 emissions is a good goal if you are going to buy a car. Keeping it as long as possible is a better goal.

Gah!
