Sir Fido was a very bad blog today. He was out getting some air when the mail female stopped here with more bills. S. F. hasn't had calf meat in quite a while so he decided to taste the back of her leg. It was a fairly minor owie with just a drop of blood, but he'll have to remember this when he's making out her Christmas card, and hope her name isn't sue.

It was a little warmer today but the steady breeze made things just fine. Rode the bike trail that I've driven past hundreds of times but never tried until today - the New Berlin Recreational Trail. Up until now it's always been a gravel trail leading from the end of Lincoln Ave. just west of Les Paul Pkwy. all the way east to Greenfield Park, but now it's paved. The trail is on the WE Energies right-of-way so it's arrow straight and level and today's stiff breeze from the west pushed us along it's smooth surface.

The newly asphalted New Berlin Trail is an easy and beautiful no cost ride that makes connections with other trails in Greenfield and, now that I know where to pick it up in Waukesha, I'll definitely be back.

Last week I truly enjoyed Friday Night Live in downtown Waukesha but had negatives to say about small stages and conflicting sounds due to groups too close together. Yesterday, Friday, there were no proximity conflicts but I did notice some sound quality issues related to old or defective electronics... except at the Steaming Cup. I complained last week about the Steaming Cup's stage being too small, and it still is, but Carly B. sang and played her acoustic guitar there unplugged yesterday and it was absolutely perfect for the setting.
