"Main Street bridge to be repaired, closed this month"
From The Journal Times.com:
March 04, 2015 7:20 pm • CARA SPOTO cara.spoto@journaltimes.com
"RACINE — The Main Street lift bridge will undergo emergency repairs later this month to fix cracks in its locking system.
"The cracks don’t pose a danger to motorists or others traveling across the bridge, but Public Works officials say the problem needs to be fixed to ensure the bridge is in working order ahead of boating season.
"The U.S. Coast Guard requires the city to staff and open and bridge by April 1 of each year.
"In a letter to the Public Works and Services Committee, Assistant Public Works Commissioner Tom Eeg explained that this winter, bridge inspectors had noticed problems with two parts of the bridge’s locking system — a tip lock and guide arm."

This damn bridge is a lemon. I believe that's it's been closed for repair numerous times a year during boating season. They're always working on it.
This illustrates to me the bullshit power of "New and Improved." We had to give a ton of money to Main Marine because they claimed that the bridge would divert traffic away from them. They ended up closing, anyway.
I remember the old bridge with wooden planks for a "sidewalk." It worked fine. But, no, someone had to spend taxpayers' money on something.
I used to drive down Main Street every day to see mom. I hated it when the bridge was closed. Now, it will affect me little.

"Russia’s Pravda Bashes Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker"
From Racine Exposed:
"Russia’s Pravada runs a hard hitting Editorial titled:
"Will Wisconsin’s ignorance become America’s ignorance again? –
"And makes RE wonder – what happened to the spineless Wisconsin State Journal and The Journal Times? The times they are a changing when Pravda is telling great truths about American Politicians and the Political Environment – while American Newspapers cover up the truth and actively war-monger."

Dear Madame Zoltar
Hello, my winter weary friends! How are you?
This weather is ridiculous. It’s
March. When does the warm up start? I’m not asking for miracles, just some more
seasonable weather. It’s supposed to
warm as the week progresses. I hope
so. I’m sick of snow and ice and freezing
rain. Now, as the snow melts, comes the
ugly snow banks showing dirt and trash that they’ve collected through the
winter.
At least, I have “my boys” to do the snow removal around
here. Señor Zanza and Junior get the job done. Junior expects some monetary compensation for
doing a chore that I did many times as a youth without any payment. Times have changed. Junior knows better than to ask me, but Señor
Zanza always pays him off.
Same old stuff in the city: robberies, burglaries,
corruption and bribes. The clock is running
on the bar owners’ lawsuit against the city.
The legal fees must be astronomical, with plenty more to come. Either way, we, the residents, lose. It’s like hosting a party that you’re not
allowed to attend. Win, lose, or draw,
we’re paying for it. And we’ll probably
never know the total cost.
Did you read in the Journal Times about the “second million
dollar ticket sold at Durand Avenue BP?”
Darn. Sometimes I so wish that I didn’t take an oath to not mess
with lotteries, sports, etc. The
Psychics Association of America sets high standards for its members. Eh, the
money would probably kill me. But I’d
die with a smile on my face.
Less than 10% of registered voters voted in the last
primary. That says it all. If the sheep don’t care, the wolves will take
them all.
I love you, my dears, and thank you for reading my blog
today. I love visitors and I hope that
you enjoy the blog.
“And we’ll probably never know the total cost.” Ask MadameZoltar@jtirregulars.com
Drive and walk carefully in this “winter wonderland.” There are huge piles of snow everywhere. Watch for children playing on them. Yesterday’s
snow was “packy”- perfect for snowballs, snow forts, and snow men. Take care of yourselves, Irregulars. I love you all and I always imagine a huge
group hug. It feels good.

"Average Penis Size Study Shows 'Normal' Isn't Necessarily What You Thought"
By Macrina Cooper-White
"What's the average penis size? The results are in, and they show it takes less to be well-endowed than you might think.
"The average length of an erect penis is 5.16 inches (13.12 centimeters) and the average circumference is 4.59 inches (11.66 centimeters), according to a new analysis of penis length studies involving more than 15,000 men around the world.

My belly is so big that I haven't seen my penis for awhile. It's there somewhere.

Red Throated Loon!
Yesterday Drew and I went to Coal Dock Park in Port Washington Wi. Drew had heard that there was a Red Throated Loon that someone else had seen out there and he wanted to go and get some pictures of it. So we went out there to get some pictures. There was some people fishing in the harbor with the water fowl swimming and diving for fish. I can tell you one thing by the harbor up there and peaceful. We had a real experience there yesterday.
Drew was walking around and getting pictures of different water fowl and when he was done we were just about to leave and then we seen a Red Throated Loon flopping around in the water. The Loon got hooked by one of the fishemens hooks and you should have seen Drew jump out of the car and walk really fast over were the Loon was. There was another birder there too and he had a jacket to wrap the Loon in to calm it down. The fisherman brought the Loon out of the water with his net and to not only one hook out of the Loon but a total of three out. I saw Drew walking toward the car with the Loon and I started to make phone calls to see were we can take the Loon to get looked at. No answer at the Humane Society up there, no answer with the DNR, I called the police they came and had no answers for us so I called a friend of ours that is a birder in Milwaukee and she told me to take it to the Milwaukee Humane Society. So she sent me directions and she called to let them know we were on are way there with the Loon. I was driving with a Loon on Drew's lap and believe it the Loon was just at content as could be in the car on his lap but did not like getting out of the car and going in the building. I just wanted to pet the Loon but I was being good and just left him alone. He is at the Humane Society getting treated and we have a email address that we can keep in touch to see how he is doing.
I was talking to a man in the car next to be and he said the day before he hooked a Golden Eye Duck and he just left the hook in the duck and put him back in the water. That really upset me and I told Drew about that too.
Here is a picture of the Red Throated Loon that we took to the Humane Society.
