I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors.


Learned wisdom from today's journey:
  • Egg/bacon/cheese bagels are never not appropriate.
  • I have the ability to turn a saucer-sled-with-a-crack-in-it found in a parking lot into three useless pieces of plastic, simply by riding it twice down a steep and bumpy hill of snow and ice.
  • There is no way that those indoor water park/resort could be anything but horrendously disgusting.
  • It's easy to get lost driving around the industrial south area of Milwaukee, underneath the interstate by Lake Michigan, and there are lots of places to dump a dead body if you desire to dispose of one.
  • Slipping on ice and ending up horizontal on your back can cause lingering neck pain. And getting laughed at by all those kids probably isn't healthy either.
  • Milwaukee is a lot like Baltimore. And Providence. And Wilmington, Ithaca, Quebec and Portland. And probably Rochester.
  • Sometimes a Bloody Mary comes with mushrooms, salami, pickles and cheese curds.
  • Different people may have different opinions of chili lime cheese.
  • Vacuum tubes are pretty great. (When will this mode of transportation catch on already?)
  • There is a waiter named Nick in the very cool spy-themed 'Safe House' restaurant in Milwaukee who will tell you every single thing there is to know about himself before he puts in your order to the kitchen.
  • Hanging from a pull-up bar for thirty seconds is a lot like growing up.
  • Card tricks in a bar, Sugarbomb's Bully album, French dip sandwiches and Dirty Jobs always make a good day even better.
