Madison

I have been completely consumed by the on-goings here in Madison WI over the past week so I've been totally ignoring this blog!   I don't want to turn this political...however I believe I've shown my distaste for Governor Walker in the past...so it may be no secret.    Also as a member of the middle-class and someone who tends to lean to the left politically, I'm fighting for my fellow public employees and the future of the Democratic Party. 

Also, as a public employee, I'll be immediately affected by this Budget Repair Bill.  Though it is my opinion that we will all be negatively affected.

Here's a great video with a great song.  Some of the individuals in this video have become familiar faces here in Madison as they've helped ignite the rallies day after day.

I'm looking forward to checking the bikes out this spring!  
 

Scott Walker-Open for Business or For Sale???

Scott Walker gives his State of the State Address tonight. As I'll probably be stuck home with the incoming Blizzard, I might watch...with one eye open and one eye closed.

In other news. I purchased our water filter today. I"m hoping it is easy to install....not that I'm going to be doing the installation but for Mike's sake!!
