We visited my parents today in Port Washington.  There is a lot of road/highway construction going on, so it took much longer, and the roads around here definitely need it.  I can't believe that people drive their cars daily on these roads; their axles/wheel alignments must be greatly affected by the bumps and disintegration of the concrete and asphalt.

There are quite a few flocks of Canadian Geese around Lake Michigan; I guess most of the birds now will winter here.  The smelt run has now pretty much disappeared; gone are the days and nights of seining with ample beer and whiskey to warm your innards while weathering the brisk Lake Michigan weather.  And those little guys were very tasty.

My parents live in a senior center that was once the city's hospital.  Their floor was where the maternity area was situated.  Ironic that I visit my parents where they might possibly end their lives, and down the hall near Apt M, I began my life.

I attended a rock concert in the city of West Bend during the evening.  My friend's band played some of their own original material, and a few song covers from the New York Dolls and The Cramps.  I need to remember to bring earpieces, as my ears really were affected by it, but it was a great time.  I had 3 PBRs ($2.50 each) as I thought it would be nice to have light beers for the evening thereby reducing the possibility of the all-consuming headache one feels after having so many heavy beers the next morning.

Before the concert, I visited one of my friends who collects and is a fan of conspiracy stuff, and we watched some of the Obama Conspiracy; not even a 100 days in, and there exists already massive, grand conspiracy theories, mostly adjunct to the Federal Reserve and Wall Street - Obama is an agent for these ominous entities. I wonder how long it will take before they talk about this on Coast-to-Coast.  Maybe I should call George or Ian and see what they think.
