Wisconsin: The Tidy State

11/15/2015

After a quick weekend trip to Chippewa Falls/Eau Claire, Wisconsin, I would like to offer the following suggestions for new state mottos:

Wisconsin: Take Your Shoes Off, We Just Cleaned
(Seriously, the whole place looks freshly scrubbed. Don’t go tracking your out-of-state dirt all over the place.)

Wisconsin: Cranberry Bogs—Who Knew?
(I thought they were only in Rhode Island.)

Wisconsin: Even Our Walmart Employees are Polite
(And they have that adorable accent.)

Wisconsin: More Culver’s Than Starbucks
(You can see the next Culver’s from the last one. I’m fine with that.)

Wisconsin: We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Street Lights
(Would it kill you guys to light up the interstate, or does everybody just go home before dark?)
 
Other travel thoughts:

My souvenir policy: t-shirt or it didn’t happen.

When I see someone walking into a motel with dogs: “Cute dog! How nice that they allow dogs here!”
When I’m trying to sleep in a bed that’s not mine and somebody’s dog is barking: “^%#@&*&&$%# dog!”
​
No matter where I am or how “foreign” the cable channels, if I can find an episode of “Law and Order,” I’m home.

Note: Not a light pole in sight.

    I've always loved to read. I just wish it burned calories.
