As if people need another day to celebrate? I wonder how many DUI's are recorded on this day?

Alcohol is not what it used to be to Wisconsin. I'm sure since I dried out there are a couple of stores that are hurting for revenue. As an added bonus I haven't been treated to 3 luke-warms and a cot since - and I don't miss the steel-bottomed bunk and lack of a pillow.
It's good to see the fitness facilities here - Razor Sharp is always packed. I see people on the bike trails, the trail along Pikes Creek is great.
The drinking culture in Wisconsin is dying out- and I'm glad for that.
