Racine 4th of July Parade


Live coverage of Racine's 4th of July parade, right from the comfort of your favorite armchair or couch. Beverages in the fridge, no parking hassles, no crowds, no pushing or shoving nor annoying poppers thrown, no lines for the bathroom.  My kind of parade.

The parade will be broadcast LIVE from 9am til Noon on WCGV  My24 Milwaukee as well as available streaming Live from this webpage.

Academies of Racine at Park High Donate a Tiny House to Veterans



We often hear of the horrors of what takes place in schools. There are many good things that never make the news. This is certainly one of them. These kids are making business connections and learning skills that they will be able to take to the marketplace, or to use personally for the rest of their lives. They are also learning compassion and the benefits of giving to their community.

Over the past decade, teachers have gotten a terrible reputation of being greedy, union thugs, pushed forward by those who want to under-compensate them for their skills and gifts, simply to meet their idea of prioritizing and budget management. This pushed idea to the public is very far from the truth. My inside perspective has proven that most get up every day, do a difficult job, and give and give to make our communities better places to live.

Racine Public Library

I just got back from a trip to the library. Took a walk to the end of the causeway. While the air was warm and the lake was fairly calm, it was amazingly windy and cold on the top deck today.  There was a huge barge on the horizon, making its way up the lake. Wished that I had a camera with me. Things you see every day always look better through someone else's eyes. (Thank you to Google images)

Georgia on my mind

We went to a flea market in Rabun Gap, GA a couple of weeks ago. Stopped at this spot on the Tugaloo River on our way back. Great fishing spot.

Open Blog - Friday

Just finished trimming and chopping the front bushes. Work or exercise?  It's all perspective. Time for my own cheese and a beverage.....
