Heading out gents. We're off to our own little bastion of Liberalism known as Madison WI to pick up Cheryl's kid from school. Here's a shot Cheryl took from our last visit 2 weeks ago.



I didn't have any hippies criticize me for having a flag on my bike. Must have been an off day.

Dang Kub, Every time you mentioned Iron Mountain.... it rang a bell.
I just recall that I used to call on Oldenburg Group there, when I was involved in Industrial Contract Manufacturing.
We used to fly in there, in a 4-seater. I remember a funky airport...like on a hillside (?).
The old days..........
