We have 6 acres of land up in Door County, which is the peninsula that sticks into Lake Michigan. It's always 10 degrees cooler there than in Green Bay, where we live. So we think of it as our future climate refuge. Someday we'll build a cottage there, or drag up some kind of prefab something. But it's gorgeous in fall.

Embarrass, Wisconsin

Many of the early lumberjacks in the town were French Canadians. When they tried to send logs down the river they found it almost impossible because of the many snags and other debris, so they named it the Riviere Embarrase, embarrase being a French word meaning to impede, to obstruct, or to entangle.

Wisconsin Prepares to Crush a Slithering Republican Gerrymander
There is hope on the horizon in Wisconsin. Bless our newly elected State Supreme Court.
More than a century ago, Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette declared, “We are slow to realize that democracy is a life; and involves continual struggle.” The proudly radical progressive leader explained, “It is only as those of every generation who love democracy resist with all their might the encroachments of its enemies that the ideals of representative government can even be nearly approximated.”
