Wisconsin

Snow

Though she had lived on the Texas Gulf Coast for a number of years, Jessica’s mind would occasionally–nostalgically–drift back to Wisconsin where she was born.  Then she would take a quick peek at the picture on her desk and remember her aversion to that awful white stuff that regularly fell from the sky a good part of the year back in the vast frozen tundra of the “Great White North . . .”

Missing Lady Gaga

Sadly, Lake Waubesa in McFarland, Wisconsin missed hosting Lady Gaga and her fiance’s first polar bear ice water plunge.  It seems that Lake Waubesa was covered with a solid sheet of ice, unlike Lake Michigan in Chicago (where the deed happened), which had ice chunks but wasn’t completely frozen.  None of the ice fisherman on Lake Waubesa could drill a hole big enough for the Lady to plunge in on her boy friend’s back, much less get back out . . .

Field Trip

When Lars John Johnson (who comes from Wisconsin–he works in a lumber mill there) heard his four year old ask, “Where do corn flakes come from?” and heard his six year old say, “The store, dummy–cereal aisle!” he thought that it might be time for a little field trip . . .
