Soft Trees Break The Fall

Milwaukee is not the kind of place you visit unless you have a very good friend to plan the weekend around. In this case, I made the journey for my dear friend Franny. But, unlike Franny’s gap tooth, Milwaukee has no outstanding qualities.

It is just flat. In a way, the flatness is stimulating because it gives you the sense that you could walk forever. All landscape seems to stretch on to infinity in the Midwest, and I guess that is the point. I did not realize how great the Great Lakes are until we were driving along side and it simply kept going.

But, if you don’t like beer, as I don’t, then your entertainment options are immediately decreased by half. At least there is still cheese, and my friend Franny.
