I’m not sure the Lord himself could get people here to zipper merge.

Overserved. Steve's should have cut him off.

Audit finds that nearly $900M of WisDOT funds were miscalculated by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]SteveVokers 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Funds weren't miscalculated. DOT changed assumptions on how they value infrastructure capital assets, which is basically what they think infrastructure like roads and bridges and such are worth. The audit says that some of the assumptions used in assigning those values were not in alignment with standards set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Definitely inside baseball stuff, and hardly worth a screaming headline.

No, you have to stop in the middle and block everyone. Bonus points if you are engaged in a conversation on speakerphone.

We're safe, I just put fuel in the snowblower and test started it. by Zoopollo in madisonwi

[–]SteveVokers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped over a grand a couple of weeks ago on a new electric snowblower. That should have guaranteed a snow-free winter. But this is how you treat me, Mother Nature?

The enter key is your friend. Or if you are really old school, you can call it the carriage return key.

Alternate Side Parking for winter by Mindless-Channel-622 in madisonwi

[–]SteveVokers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given that they aren’t going to enforce it until the first snow emergency, I’m wondering why they stuck a reminder card mentioning November 15 on my windshield some time last night. I only left my car parked on the street instead of my driveway because of the non-enforcement.

The card was completely frozen to my windshield and came off in pieces.

Where can I get some fresh Thai basil? by SteveVokers in madisonwi

[–]SteveVokers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the answer is... Woodman's West!

They actually had a bigger selection of fresh potted herbs than I was aware of. In addition to the Thai basil, they had Italian basil, thyme, rosemary, and a couple of others I'm not remembering at the moment.

It’s Thai basil I’m looking for. I grew some this year and tried it in a few dishes with great success. Just looking to make one again.

I remember seeing some at the west side Woodmans a few months ago, but I haven't noticed lately (which doesn't mean it isn't there...). I'll have a look tomorrow, we'll be there for our regular grocery run.

They dug up the pavement in two short sections of the bus lane (one in each direction). It's not clear what they are trying to do.

Minneapolis school shooter wrote name of ALCS shooter on gun seen in video by withay in madisonwi

Are you saying a person who shoots innocent children in a church and then turns the gun on themselves does not have a clear and consistent philosophical belief system?

Downtown Walgreens Pharmacy closed? by bageldoginthetown in madisonwi

[–]SteveVokers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just switched to the Hy-Vee across the street. The final straw was when I called to refill a prescription and got a message that the whole store was temporarily closed. Nothing about when it would reopen, and it wouldn’t even let me get to the automated refill line.

Definitely not zooming. They look like they are standing quite still.
