Let’s call it … I don’t know … how about “Larry the Locomotive”.

I thought I said I wouldn’t start at 7:00 any more. But here I go, off to work. A four-day week with two 7:00 a.m. starts and two 11:00 a.m. starts. I don’t think I like that schedule, but it’s only four days.

  • The Waukesha BID  would like to light all the church steeples in Waukesha. Three things people who have never been here before remember are the seemingly endless supply of railroad crossings, the strange street patterns where there don’t seem to be any right angle corners and the number of churches. I applaud the effort, I always thought Mayor Meier’s idea to put flag on top of the buildings in Milwaukee during festival season was a good idea. I question in the age of everything “green” whether the lighting can be done without impacting electric bills at the churches.
  • Interesting picture from Kevin Harnack, by the way. I’m guessing it was taken on top of that four story building on Wisconsin Avenue where my dentist works.
  • The police caught more graffiti punks. Tar and feathering would seem to be appropriate.
  • What do I think of the Brett Favre folderol? I think McCarthy and Thompson ought to look at their quarterback position and ask themselves in a purely analytical sense whether having Brett Favre on the team makes them better or not. As soon as he rejoins the team, he’s the best quarterback they have. If Brett can swallow the embarassment of coming back after his teary-eyed farewell, then he should come back to the Packers. If he comes back, he should start. If they want to start Rogers, OK, but the boo birds will be out in force at each mistake. Let Brett play until he admits he can’t play any more.
  • Ahh, the ever-compassionate liberal reaction to the untimely death of Tony Snow.
  • Finally something which will keep Watson out of the toilet. “Close the lid,” you say. “That would be rude.” is my answer. You want your cat to drink a lot and often, so whatever works.
  • Conversation I wish I had:

“Why is it taking you so long to paint your garage? Who taught you to remove paint?”

“An archaeologist.”
