    Especially when I don’t drive. Screws up wife’s sleep cycle when she works 5-2. She takes a nap in between getting home & when I get done.

    I have good days & bad. I’ve been working a lot of nights at work, so not so much time for play.

    And fortunately, none of them live this far north. The furthest north for any of them is the Sandhill WRA in the southwest corner of the county, about 1/2 hour away.

    What is it about Bridges and Tunnels?

    Snowman- as anyone who has been to Trainfest in West Allis, WI can attest, that last picture bears a striking resemblance to the infamous "Zoo Interchange" at the junction of Interstates 41, 94 and 894. 😄😂

    What is it about Bridges and Tunnels?

    My layout won't have any tunnels, because North Central Wisconsin. At one time, there was a series of 3 tunnels closer to Tom O- starting west of Fort McCoy, it ran from Sparta southeast to Elroy and was reportedly the first "rails to trails" park in the country. However, I do plan to have a...

    Chad- from midday Tuesday through Thursday evening we got about a foot of new snow. Add to the 2-3 inches we received on Monday and another inch or so last night, we got enough snow to reopen the snowmobile trails, which were closed last week due to insufficient snow base.

    Tom- I’ve not seen Jesus Christ Superstar, but I have been by ALW’s London home. My uncle was primarily a stage actor, but he also was in movies with such a diverse cast of actors and actresses like Sir Michael Caine, Woody Allen, Daniel Stern, Sam Waterston, Reginal VelJohnson, Paul Hogan...

    Just the opposite about last year’s Super Bowl. People questioned why McVay stuck with the run game when it was obvious that Cincy was shutting it down(23-43). He did it to make them think about the Rams possibly running the ball, which enabled Stafford to use play action.

    Tom- Most of the clubs up here(including Hub City's) are modular, as we bring them to shows in Marshfield, Stevens Point, Waupaca, LaCrosse and the Iola classic car show.

    To me, crossovers always seemed to be a cross between SUV & minivan, not car-based like station wagons were.

    And Lt Col. Henry Blake was from Bloomington/Normal, IL, which was Wayne Stevenson’s actual hometown.

    One of the guys in my HS class from my hometown in South Jersey sent both of his kids to Culver. His daughter now goes to UI & his son just accepted a scholarship from Duke to play lacrosse.

    It's what was Baltus, before they sold out about 4-5 years ago. Now owned by an investment group out of Va that owns gas station/c-stores across the country. I wish the trip to Mass was for leisure. My uncle passed away this week & his wishes were to have his ashes spread in the ocean. His...

    Tom- getting older is something, alright. Fun isn’t exactly the first word that comes to mind. It’s a word, but not the first one that comes to mind. 😂 Good news, I start a new job tomorrow. I’ll be working at a c-store in town. It’s within walking distance, come spring. Unfortunately, I found...
