It’s all kicking off, here in Racine.

Small, brick restaurant painted red, white, and blue. Large sign on a pole between it and the street. It has movable letters that say TRY OUR POLISH BOY.

Oooh - this is a real trip back into the mists of time. I worked in a corner shop in the early 80s and found a tape like this wedged on a shelf behind a box. It was more the sound of 1980 than 1976. It was scratchy and bad but I treasured it as long as I had a working tape player.

Also, in my retirement spare time, I had my first meeting yesterday as a member of the Racine Transit Commission. It is an oversight board made up of citizens and officials. I've used and valued transit service all my life and hope my railroad career will guide me. Photo is from my front yard.

A local transit bus crosses through a street intersection in a residential area. A bicycle is mounted on the front of the bus. The destination board says "3 Golf Rapids". Trees in the foreground have a hint of fall color to them and obscure a row of Victorian houses behind the bus.

Last year we had our home on the Preservation Racine tour. On Sunday, I'll be House Captain at a tour home nearby, a sweet 1913 Arts and Crafts bungalow. And I'm now Vice President/Acting President of the group. Photo is Taylor Hall, also on the tour, from article in link.

Newspaper photo showing a cream-brick, four-story building. It has a red roof, tall chimneys, ornate gables and lancet windows, in the Victorian Gothic Revivial style. A crenellated entrance tower is at left.

Sounds great, and some great photos in that article. No trip to Madison for me, though. I'm up to my ears in Racine house tour this weekend.

If Republicans don't like Nazi comparisons they shouldn't act *exactly* like Nazis.

Under federal law, states are responsible for these improvements. WisDOT is more interested in increasing frequency (also important for happy riders!), and is working through a list of investments required by track owners to allow more trains. One underway now is the 2nd platform at Milw Airport.
