Trip to Milwaukee

WOW, that was an exciting drive.  Wasn't bad really in time but couple weird spots.  In i think Van Wert county O-H I-O there were HUNDREDS of wind turbines.  Looked on web and think i saw 411! with over 500 more coming.  I think the price was 2 MILLION per but pay off in long run.  I need a smaller version for myself.

Hotel staying at great, FREE Happy Hour on drafts, wine and pop with occasional app.  Free continental plus breakfast.  Made my own Cinnamon waffles this morning, bagel and juice and coffee, i know way to many carbs there this morning but i did workout in fitness area. And there will be alot of walking today so I may let it slide, besides I'm on vacation.  Hopefully Brewers tomorrow night.

Driving in NEOhio in winter

Ok so we had a good last of winter today, second of the year maybe. My rant is for the IDIOTS who think I can drive my mini van 65mph and pass you in you Ford F150 4x4 going 55 on the highway. My brother who is driving said they were an idiot driving that fast. I said. I you can drive that fast as long as you don't have to stop or change lanes.

Moral of this story, ONE MILE later and they were not in high speed lane, but the ditch on the other side of slow lane. Thankfully there were no other cars involved.

Why not leave earlier. I told brother we should leave 45 minutes early. When we got there only 15 minutes early. He said glad he had thought of it.

Moral of the story is we saw at least dozen cars off the road and more accidents. Do you need to get there that quickly. My dad always told me if I was in a hurry I would have left 5 minutes earlier, and he meant it. Would go the SPEED LIMIT with a row of cars behind him. My brother usually one of those who DRIVE FAST TAKE CHANCES but he knows when conditions not right be smart
