On What’s your favorite bird? Mine’s blue.

Posted on February 9 at 12:40 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

I enjoy feeding the birds though I can't say as I have a favorite. I get six or seven different species though if I could distinquish the different sparrows it would probably be more. I even get an occassional wild turkey. Bluebirds are cool and I've got three nesting boxes on my property. I feed them as well. My mother has a friend who has trained a pair to eat out of her hand. I tried to do that but didn't have the patience.


On To tattoo, or not to tattoo?

The tradition of tattooing goes back much further than the Nazi's.


On To tattoo, or not to tattoo?

Posted on February 9 at 10:13 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I have six tattoos all of which are covered by clothing unless it's summer and I wear a sleeveless t-shirt or swimming trunks. Some have personal meaning to me and some are just designs that I liked. It doesn't really matter to me whether anyone else likes them or not. I didn't get them for that purpose.

I'm a professional person who's never been in jail, never lived in a single or doublewide, never driven a motorcycle, played any professional sports and it's very unlikely anyone would pay to see me wrapped around a pole. I've been married to the same person for 35 years and together we've raised two children both of whom have professional careers.

I'd wanted a tattoo for a long time but the social stigma kept me from getting them until relatively recently in my 50's and it's very likely that I'll get another before too long.

It was good news for one of my Rock County customers who was hired.

On Walker to speak at Florida fundraiser

Having completely turned the job market around and with jobs flowing into Wisconsin like water over a falls I guess Walker can take a well deserved vacation to hobknob with the rich and famous.


On Local hunters survive attack from water buffalo

Posted on February 1 at 3:20 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

If you want to kill water buffalo go to Africa. If you want to kill a Russian Boar go to Russia. I know it's less expensive to kill them in Northern Michigan but I don't see the sport of hunting on an enclosed game farm where success is all but guaranteed. I know it's legal but I don't think that is the way it was meant to be.

That being said I don't wish any ill fortune on these people and I'm glad they weren't more seriously injured.


On Telemarketing top consumer complaint in Wisconsin

If I get one more call from "Rachael of cardservices" I'm going to go ballistic.


On Refrigerator manufacturer to close Madison plant

Posted on February 1 at 9:04 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I'm not bashing Walker but I am curious whey it's the Wisconsin facility they're closing rather than their facility in Arizona. They cite changing business circumstances but wouldn't those circumstances also impact the Arizona facility?

In the past year and half SubZero workers in Wisconsin made significant concessions giving up 20% of their pay and benefits to keep their jobs. At that time SubZero promised to keep their jobs here until at least 2018. These were good paying jobs even with the concessions. Yet it didn't matter that the workers made concessions. Nor did it matter that Sub Zero made promises.


On Should girls stop wearing pink? Can’t a guy wear pink?

Posted on January 31 at 12:34 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Greg, you can certainly wear pink if you wish but you won't catch me dead in it and there's none of it in my closet.

I'm not sure how a clothing line titled "Pigtail Pals" isn't stereotyping or why a female child can't built a Star Wars lego set.

I look around me and I see female police officers, astronaunts, professional athletes, business owners, doctors and truck drivers etc.
