Since 2012, the Republican share of the vote in Washington County has gone from 69.55% to 67.01%. So whatever these guys are doing, it's working.

What if we kissed at the Save Democracy protest at Willy Street West Co-op?

Woman at next table: ...I've been using that mantra, because that was something that happened to me...
Me: (checks year, concerned look)
By the time I left she was using the phrase "growth opportunities." So.

"Someone brought a kringle to the solstice potluck" is such a peak Wisconsin statement.

We had a light snow, sometimes called a cat tracker, yesterday. What it actually revealed was that a coyote had walked across the circle, into our yard, and along the side of our house.
Sometimes the big dog barks in the night seemingly for no reason. Now I wonder about that.

This is still one of my favorite comics ever.

Every year, the kids at my 7yo's elementary school get together on a Tuesday night adjacent to 11/11 and do a walk with lanterns, then listen to a bowdlerized version of the story of St Martin of Tours.
This is a public school in Wisconsin, so maybe this comes from German Catholics? I don't know, I'm very confused. And also cold, because it's 40° F out.

At running group yesterday, we were kinda shuffling along, talking about tariffs, on a road that goes along Lake Mendota past a lot of $$$ houses.
Guy: (stops, looks at a house) Can you imagine that driveway in the winter?
The driveway is fairly long and runs sharply down from street level to the garage.
Me: Maybe they have a heated driveway?
Woman: Oh, that would be nice.
Guy: Or they've affixed a trampoline to the far wall of the garage.

My 7yo's class is taking a walking fieldtrip to hold up signs that say "Please remember to vote" on a street corner today.
If you wanted to know something about Madison, there it is in a nutshell. 😂

I didn't anticipate that Wisconsin public schools would indoctrinate my child into being a Packers fan. 😔

A grandma at the next table is explaining measles to her grandkids and "now it's coming back because some people don't get their kids vaccinated against anything." And then she talked about the side effects of catching it.

Remember malls? What a fucking weird idea. Let's take all the most useless shiny shops and give them their own subdivision. I've just dropped the 7yo off at the American Gladiator-themed indoor park o' fun and now I'm going to Barnes and Noble for two hours, but maybe I'll go crazy and buy a Rolex somewhere. Or (rolls dice) a cinnamon roll the size of my other child's head.

The guy is here to fix the AC split unit and I am sitting on the sofa listening to "Pink Pony Club."

It's 7:30am. That is too early for this many tailgaters in the parking lot where I'm trying to meet my running group.

Today is 9/11/2024. I was eighteen in 2001, so this bullshit has essentially been going on my entire adult life.

Out at the polls for a primary. Spotted a very old woman who was just leaving—with a pride flag on one handlebar of her walker and a progress pride flag on the other. Go Madison go!
-
The person ahead of me in the Starbucks drive-thru just gave up and left one car length from the window. Like the last 30 seconds of waiting time were too much for them?

Walking into the hairdresser, not having eaten lunch.
Lady: can I get you anything to drink?
E: uh, juice?
Lady: hmm....we have water...coffee...bourbon?

Hello to everyone suddenly interested in the Upper Midwest. Just so you know, the Dakotas are Great Plains states and I'm real skeptical about Iowa, too.
(My Midwestern upbringing compels me to add, "Sorry, Iowa." But also fix your shit.)

In high school I had a friend who called Illinois people "Flatlanders." At the time, I was still a transplanted Illinois person and mildly offended. But I take it back; northern Illinois is a fucking pancake.

Some kid put up signs at the coffee shop offering ukulele lessons and requesting tutoring in quantum physics. It's good to have a diverse set of skills.

While I was swimming, a guy came into the pool area, hopped into the lane next to mine, ran along the bottom to the other end (it's a lap pool, so 4.5' max depth), got out, and left. I really want to know what his deal was.

This is what happens when I don't get sick before an awards announcement: I watch a bunch of videos about graphic design, then forget them all and make this!
Dionysus in Wisconsin is a finalist in the fantasy/scifi category! So if you were putting it off because you don't read romance novels, never fear: it's also a fantasy.

While running past the Dawley Bike Hub today, my friend mentioned there used to be a mouse production facility there. But also, not just any mouse facility. The Sprague Dawley Animal Company was there—there's a whole breed of rat they developed! They are calm and easy to handle but develop tumors somewhat at random.
Anyway apparently the area used to smell strongly of mouse urine. Now it's marshes and ritzy houses.
