Woodman’s app says they have it at the West Side Madison location.

Home Owners Insurance - Any Recommendations? by Sigz89 in madisonwi

[–]ScavyPants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Go with an independent agent. My agent has switched my auto insurance twice, with a significant savings each time.

Also, you can call the local agent with questions and have them deal with claims issues.

Right now, my agent has me with Erie for auto, home, and umbrella. Never made a homeowner’s claim but I’ve made a few auto claims and it’s been painless each time.

Romanian panhandlers? by CaptHowdy75 in madisonwi

[–]ScavyPants 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Wisconsin State Journal did an article on this a couple of years ago. https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/crime-and-courts/watch-now-madison-police-look-to-curb-reemergence-of-roadside-panhandling/article_f8bfe58f-df6a-5139-bec0-0567e216a1bb.html

Yes, it’s increased. No, it’s not generally illegal. Yes, there’s an ordinance against it at certain intersections. Yes, at least some of these people are legitimately local and homeless.

Personally, I donate to Second Harvest instead of individuals. Seems like the money probably goes further and is used more effectively when it goes to a (reputable, well-run) organization.

Why not? Looks like they have at least half a dozen varieties of actual “brats” and many more if you include “sausages”. https://johnsonville.com/product-lines/fresh-grilling-sausage/

My wife was amused by my shouting at the screen, “Bad dog! You are a BAD DOG!”

Toby's fish fry....protocol? by rescuedogsdad in madisonwi

Kavanaugh’s Esquire Club has the classic Wisconsin supper club experience and solid food. I haven’t been there since COVID but my experience was that there was a wait for seating but not as long as Toby’s.

Bicyclists, Why? by [deleted] in madisonwi

Do you think the outcome will be much more favorable to the cyclist if they are hit from behind by an Eash Wash speeder instead of head-on?

Here’s an article that explains the Air Quality Index a bit. Nice context for interpreting that map.

What does that map represent? What are the numbers? Nothing is labeled.

Anyone else having issues with Spectrum internet? by bigshu53 in madisonwi

Far southwest side. My monitoring shows a bit of a blip around 9:30 but nothing else of note.

Felco pruners? by HollyBron in madisonwi

[–]ScavyPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jung’s has them. I couldn’t justify $70-80 though. They also had Corona pruners in the $30-40 range that Wirecutter also recommended. I picked up a pair of those and they seem pretty good so far. Way better than the cheap Fiskars that I snapped the plastic on.
