WEDNESDAY DAILY

THIS PHOTO, AFTER A SHOWER LAST WEEK, WAS  TAKEN, LOOKING SOUTH,
AT MAQUOKETA'S BEST,  COMPLETED NEW STREET, NORTH VERMONT.
IT WAS IN BAD SHAPE.   ONE BLOCK NOW WITH A PERFECT SURFACE AND
ALL NEW IN PIPES UNDER IT TOO.    SHOULD LAST FOR MANY MANY YEARS!
SMOOTH DRIVING ON IT!    WHAT DID IT COST?   I EMAILED THE CITY MANAGER TO ASK AND HE HAS NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME.   
NOW, THE BAD PART.   THERE ARE PROBABLY A HUNDRED OR MORE BLOCKS
THAT NEED RE-BUILDING.   IS THERE A PLAN FOR DOING SO?    I HAVE SEEN
NONE!  

MAQUOKETA IS LUCKY TO HAVE, JUST MINUTES AWAY ON THE CAVES ROAD,
A CAMP FOR KIDS....CAMP SHALOM.    THIS YOUNG MAN TALKED ABOUT IT
AT ROTARY TODAY.     FOR MORE ON THE CAMP, GO TO KMAQ'S HOME PAGE
AND CLICK ON THE ROTARY BUTTON.

I HAD NO DAILY YESTERDAY BECAUSE, TO HELP CELEBRATE NANCY'S BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY, WE WENT UP TO MILWAUKEE MONDAY AFTERNOON
AND RETURNED LAST NIGHT.     WAS WITH MY BROTHER WHO LIVES THERE.
THE CARDS WON MONDAY NIGHT.....AND THEY WON LAST NIGHT TOO.
THEY'RE GOING FOR A "WILD CARD" OF COURSE.       OH YES..AT THE PARK, BEER PRICED AT $9.     WATER $4.75.   18,000 IN ATTENDANCE THAT NIGHT AND THEY ARE HAVING PROFITABLE YEAR WITH OVER 2-MILLION TICKETS SOLD SO FAR.

MY BROTHER (RETIRED) AT FRIDAYS RESTAURANT, WHICH IS OPEN ALL YEAR AND LOCATED IN MILLER PARK, OVERLOOKING THE BALLFIELD.

WHILE EATING, WATCHED BATTING PRACTICE BELOW.

TUESDAY, DOWNTOWN TO SHOP AND CRUISE THE LAKE MICHIGAN
LAKEFRONT.    BOUGHT NANCY A NECKLACE (ON SALE) AT THE
BOSTON STORE, ONE OF MILWAUKEE'S OLDEST AND FINEST, COMPARABLE
TO MACYS.   BEAUTIFUL STORE.   IN ITS PRIME, 9 FLOORS, NOW 2.

ON THE WAY HOME,  A STOP AT THE "CAVES OF THE MOUND", ONE OF WISCONSIN'S OLDEST, POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTIONS, ABOUT 2 HOURS FROM MAQUOKETA NORTH OF MADISON.   I HAD BEEN THERE TWICE YEARS AGO BUT NANCY HAD NEVER SEEN THEM.

THE ONE HOUR TOUR WAS COOL (50 DEGREES ALWAYS), WET,  LOTS
OF STEPS, AND WITH A FAT-MAN'S MISSERY...I MANAGED TO SQUEEZE
THROUGH.    VERY INTERESTING THINGS OF COURSE.   ADMISSION FOR US WAS OVER $30 TOTAL.   

OKAY....I KNOW YOU DIDN'T BRING UP TODAY'S DAILY FOR A TRAVELOG!
SORRY!
