Switched buses at City Hall and saw the traffic cone truck. It's amazing up close.

Went to harbor fest and got a free tree! Thought it best not to hike home so I'm on the bus. Who needs a car when you have multiple transportation options 🤷

Has mullin ever asked himself what ice is doing that leads to every interaction needing violent force? What would he do if a plain clothes came up to him tried cuffing him/throwing him to the ground? Would he submit to the random attack? They're intentionally making every interaction into violence

Up another .19¢! We should be encouraging people to use the bus, biking, and walking more than ever. I saw a Tiffany flyer saying that Crowley cut the bus but nothing about increasing funding... Crowley should really come out in favor of funding MCTS?

Just saw Red Days at the pink umbrella. Excellent story and strong acting. It even had a nice anti car message.

Current gas price in MKE. And the MCTS is on the chopping block yet again. What happens when people can't get to work?

The funding cuts to mcts are being felt this fall. Bus is packed, standing room only after cutting routes to every 30 min during peak hours. Ridiculous, MKE. #fundthebus

Another time he shared this was when I was a kid. We were driving to town to get feed and he waved at a passing truck. I asked him who it was as I didn't recognize the truck. He said he didn't know but the guy was driving a crappy truck too. Us poor people got to stick together. 4/5

He said he was a drug addict at the time and nobody else would speak to him but I would. It makes me a bit sad but it also makes me happy he got through it and a bit proud because it's one of the things that I learned from my father. 2/5

Today I was walking home and I passed one of the neighborhood regulars, I forget his name, but he always calls out to me, "Hey, teacher!" and we have a little chat. He was telling me he liked me so much because when he first moved to the neighborhood. I spoke to him. 1/5

Yup. Downtown Eau Claire just switched to this and my mom cannot figure it out. I like the ones that can take card or coins like we have in MKE.

Rail pass 9/10 Havre, MT to MSP Havre was a nice stop. Got to touch dinosaur bones, toured the underground town, and ate a locally raised steak. Now going through the great plains which are just ag fields and oil wells. 😿 Bring back the bison and free the prairie!

Great to see that Michael J. Fox will receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Emmys in September in recognition of his contributions to Parkinson’s disease research and advocacy. His scenes in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode “Larry vs. Michael J. Fox” is comedy gold.

Rail pass 4/10 Denver - Salt Lake City again on the California Zephyr. Should take about 14 hours. Denver Union Station is probably the best in the country, IMHO.

My old neighborhood in Milwaukee runs an awesome 24-hour bike ride, the Riverwest 24, each July. This year's ride will start with a memorial lap honoring Alex Pretti, the intensive care nurse who federal immigration cops murdered in Minneapolis this January. Alex used come down to ride in the RW24.

Rail pass 2/10 MKE -CHI Got a superliner on the Hiawatha for the short ride this morning. Rode a divvy to Chinatown for biang biang, a walk through Ping Tom Park, and now waiting by the river. Not too bad of a way to pass a layover!

It's so nice being back in MKE for the day! Putzing in the garden and listening to rw radio. Normally the garden doesn't survive but the neighbor kid is doing a great job this year! Too bad the watermelon and tomato plant are so far behind.. he was curious how they grew
