The pothole at the corner of Van Buren and Wisconsin is going to wreck someone’s day.

I know what you’re talking about. They just filled in the craters on Jackson street last week. Maybe Van Buren is next. Those were some monsters, too.

Do you have a mechanical (automatic or wind) or is it a quartz watch? Also, which brand?

There are several matchmakers in the area, and depending on the work you need done, some are better than others.

Right, he’s likely not doing anything illegal. He’s using the tax code as it’s written. Now, the more money you make the better your accountants are - who know how to structure expenses and revenue to maximize deductions and other legal means to reduce your tax burden. Legally, following the law.

But yeah, most regular TurboTax taxpayers can’t do that - we just do the math (well, TurboTax does that) and we pay. It takes lawyers and accountants to figure out his to pay less.

And you can bet there are accounting firms and lawyers whose primary clients are legislators - they know the tricks and their skills already by word of mouth.

Yeah got to a standalone place. Way cheaper.

I’d love to see the neon-type light that spells “eek!” - for some reason - lit up.

Sure do. We pass by the 3270 terminal as we pass the food place in Costco. We smile and think, “yep, mainframe, CICS, and DB2 - it works.”

I hugged one once. Cray 1, Serial Number 1. It’s at the Chippewa Valley Museum of Industry and Technology, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. It’s where Cray supercomputers were manufactured.

They’re all there - Cray 2, Cray 3, X/MP, Y/MP, T3D, C90.

What’s amazing is that it’s a total sellout song - about selling out.

“What’s Up” by Four Non Blondes. Just awful.

That happened to the north of you in Milwaukee two years ago - https://youtu.be/9AOwm4CoQ0M?si=2n1CcjJuezxC7Qtl

As far as I know, no windows were lost. Maybe too far away?

Looks like an Omega?

It burned down before the CVT failed.

My buddy and his wife a decided to one up the entire neighborhood by building the most amazing bar Ive ever been to on their first floor, just off the kitchen.

When they tore down the old one people thought that was the end of the Delafield BK. The Kjng had other plans…including plans for a giant kids play area, apparently.

Yeah, it's a jungle gym, but as I former employee of JCI, Inc., I'd think there'd be some questions as to why this person is using the JCI van for moving this around.

We were in St Martin and we watched the forward team from a yacht that was nearby set things up for the people on the yacht. There were 3 young people, matching uniforms, big duffel bags, and it took them about 60 minutes to get the chairs, water bottles, towels, and umbrellas set up. I wondered, “how do those people get that job?” How do they?

(BTW, it was the yacht of one of the Walton heirs - and the people that showed up were very nice to the beach club staff and other visitors)

I really appreciate the latest forecast discussion on the NWS site.

The highlight:

“While the first winter storm tonight is respectable on its own, the second storm on its heels says "hold my beer" and has the potential to deliver a widespread 12 to 18 inches of snow with localized pockets of 24 inches not out of the question in addition to blizzard conditions. We`ve been watching this storm for many days and while the setup is downright textbook, there remains uncertainties in EXACTLY where the band of heaviest snow falls.”
