Milwaukee

I went for a walk around downtown Milwaukee today. I've been working on my workshop examples, having arrived a day early because of my typical travel karma. I'm enjoying the time to go over the material again, but the stomach demands, so the rest of me complies and off for a walk I went.

For the parts I saw, I can say that Milwaukee is a lovely city. I had a great conversation with my driver last night (at midnight, no less), and with several other people here, so the people are Midwestern friendly as I'd expect them to be.

What I find most interesting in a delightful way is ALL THE INDIANA LIMESTONE.

I am such a sucker for the old architecture made with the limestone.

Of course, there's the flip side of the limestone:

Mixed poorly, it makes crappy cement.

Having walked around for an hour or so, I was amused to walk close to what I am convinced is the inspriration for the cube computer. Except when I go to look up which one it was, apparently I'm remembering wrong, because I can't find a blue cube apple computer. I am really confused by this, as I have a strong memory of a blue cube computer, with the CDROM slit along the top of the computer.

It looks something like this:

I might be confusing it with the G4. Shrug.

I enjoyed walking around Milwaukee. Here, I can definitely tell it's fall.
