Week 3 of 2012 finds me traveling. I am currently approximately 1100 miles from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Things learned and seen on my road trip.
I saw the St. Louis Arch for the first time.
I know where the worlds largest rocking chair is (Missouri if you’re curious, at least that’s what the sign said)
I know the location of a Vacuum museum (also Missouri)
I saw a shop called “Allen’s Quik Lube” and it made me think of my friend Sunshine.
I found Electric Avenue (It’s in Oklahoma)
Happy Days moved from Milwaukee to Oklahoma (It’s a hotel in Oklahoma)
Texas apparently thinks gun stores can be a family affair.
I also have never been out of the midwest in the winter months. So when I arrived and it was 85 degrees with low humidity and I heard that Wisconsin had 10 inches of snow and it was -13 degrees 2 nights ago, I thought it was rather fortuitous that I was 1200 miles away.
I also realized, again, that I cannot live outside of Milwaukee. Some of my habits are too expensive anywhere else.
There's also a really interesting restaurant chain that I discovered called Which Wich. Not sure if it would make it in Milwaukee, because Jimmy Johns has a huge customer base. But it certainly would be fun.
I think that Texas has way too much space, as evidenced by the fact that all of their interchanges for highways and such end up 50 feet in the air. Also, apparently nobody told them that "Dubya" isn't president anymore, because they have "President George W. Bush Parkway" in Dallas.
So off to a day of sightseeing in balmy 80-something degree weather. I think I'll wear shorts.
