Hey loved you story of travel in WI and il. and discourse of politics. wish I was there. looks like the wedding was great congrats to a great lady and her new spouse.
Your photos are gorgeous! I haven’t seen a pumpkin patch in a very long time.
The GOP presence? I totally get where you're coming from and it's really disappointing to see such disrespectful displays during your travels. It's just disheartening to witness flags and slogans that undermine the dignity of the President of the United States. We should all be able to show some respect for the office and the person holding it, regardless of our personal political beliefs.
It's such a shame that some people choose to express their dissent in such disrespectful and offensive ways. It's like they completely forget about basic civility and the values that should bring us together as a nation. Instead of promoting positive change through productive dialogue, this kind of behavior only deepens the divisions among us.
Sadly, I don’t even bother with anyone who is Republican anymore.

Dog votes PURPLE!!! (this indie Bitch = #metoooo!!!!) --- Where is the scarecrow kit? = "how it's done" = Haaaaaa!!! Yer awsome. Way to go, walkin' the line!
I see so many beautiful images on Substack all the time and l wish l was able to heart 💜 ♥️ them specifically the fall images you took, which are so gorgeous; makes me wish l was there. It is the kind of scene that brings to mind pumpkin spice anything, but latte especially. Juxtaposed with the hateful displays however, can mar the mood and atmosphere a bit. l wish l understood why people would rather fill their days with darkness and not light. Yah can’t see shit in the dark. You stumble and fall. But the same folks hate open eyes that keep them “woke.” In away the experience is like life itself, we can find beauty in spite of the ugliness around us. It just gets so hard sometimes to drown it all out, which is why we have to face it head on sometimes…
How fascinating ! Again - the Synchronicity we may have - ‘who knows !’ (or knew !)
Love the ‘circumstance’ - reminds greatly re Steve Schmidt & his two parter here driving west from California via upper peninsula to Deluth, on to Canada with his 🇨🇦 wife a la John Steinbeck’s ‘Travels With Charlie’ in Rocinante - his camper backed Pickup Truck with the big black standard poodle !
I did the same in a bus load of Buddhist’s ! From Toronto to Madison to attend the Dalai Llama Initiation there / his 1st trip to USA.. in a vast cornfield.. Yes I was fascinated by what ‘unfolded’ (clue - ‘There Came A Great StormCloud across the Lake & Campus !)
Oldest University in North America I’m told ! ‘A seat of learning’ tis said !
The images of your travels through Wisconsin are beautiful! I actually live in Kenosha which is between Racine and Chicago. A lot of Trump Maga idiots around here as well! I’m actually embarrassed about it. The cop down the street with his Trump signs in his yard! My Son said to me one night “let’s go remove them” oh how tempting that was. Yup Kenosha is full of them Koolaid drinking Trump following clowns 🤡
Admittedly, I am not subtle and I asked, “So you’re okay with destroying America?” He simply replied, “I don’t talk to idiots,” and turned away. ROFLMAO!!! The Democratic booth was so clever! And what a hoot: the difference between the physical offerings between the two, representing the difference between the intellectual offerings of the two! LOVE how the lady in the rainbow sweater was "unrecognized" by the pugs! Your photos are beautiful. Make me homesick for the first 10 years of my life when we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Oh! those Falls!
