My office is barely inside the security zone. The boundries are on the north and east sides of the parking lot. I suspect that I am going to be coming down with a heck of a cold that will keep me home for the duration of the RNC.

Colectivo is good but I wouldn't sleep on Stone Creek from Milwaukee. They retooled their cafes a decade ago to be less like Starbucks or Caribou and more of a geekier experience. Their selection is pretty baller, their educational programs are neat (https://www.stonecreekcoffee.com/public-classes/), and their devotion to sustainability is admirable, IMHO.

Somebody new bought Midtown Center and a new tenant is moving into the space that the city normally leases for the voting site. It sounds like they lease it for a month when an election approaches and then let it go again but a normal business is willing to grab it for longer. My voting site in Glendale keeps moving (a university, a high school, a bar, a library, etc). A disused retail space is probably pretty conveint but I'm sure there is a church basement somewhere if they can't work something out with Midtown Center.

The Milwaukee Clipper (the boat that the Lake Express replaced) primarily went between Milwaukee and Muskegon but they did seasonal routes all over Lake Michigan. Folks complain about the cost of running high-speed passenger rail from Milwaukee to Green Bay but what if there was another ferry route going from Chicago to Milwaukee and onward to Green Bay? I would use it.

"If voters want change, they should go to the polls" doesn't work anymore. I don't know if it is the Democrats' spinelessness or the fact that the GOP is doing everything that they can to gerrymander and rig elections, or when that fails, just try to overthrow the damn government. We really need a plan B, though.
