Rich, they're actually not as bad as the name suggests.
2 years agoHi Nancy,
Yes, it was very beautiful. For some reason, I like all kinds of extreme weather . . . as long as nobody gets hurt--especially me.
Yeah, that house over there does look like it was on fire.

2 years agoMy word for the day, free of charge: piebald. After reading it for years and not remembering its meaning it finally stuck once I learned that it’s a derivative of magpie.
2 years agoSpotted Cow! I indulged in a few of those myself last summer.

2 years agoGonna sample Wisconsin Cheese Curds?
They don't sound very enticing to me.
I saw on the Weather Channel the storms in SW Wi -- and thought, Oh Boy! Greg is in for it. :(
The propane tank at the end of the first video and then the brightly lit house at the beginning of the second gave me pause!!
No worries about the timing. I anticipate there will be days when I've spent my entire allotment of time and energy just living, so I hold nobody else at fault ...
2 years agoGood job on the cheese, cheesy rider! Now, if you really, really, really need a BIG boost in Wisconsin, get yourself a loaf of delicious cheese bread.
As to the driftless area, I watched a fascinating PBS show about that part of Wisconsin a few months ago. I expect your two-wheeled investigation to be no less fascinating, plus you can feature more cheese.
Two hours of thunder and lightning storm had to be quite beautiful in a way, but that is way beyond my comfort zone when camping! yikes!
Am enjoying your blog and you usual comedic self ;’-).
I love a good train! Good being the operative word. British trains aren't great, most European ones are better, and American ones have a pretty bad reputation, don't they? I've never used one. Happy it worked out well for you. Sucks about the wind, good idea to duck out in my opinion!
2 years agoPerfectly framed!

You're right about the reputation of American trains. They seem to have no concept of keeping on-schedule. They're always late. ALWAYS. Still, they're fun to ride--at least for a couple of hours.
