Moving again

The Empire Builder of 12 June 2009 was not late into Milwaukee and we left the station on-time. Got my GPS hooked to my computer map and my air card hooked to the internet and my railroad scanner tuned to the current channel and I'm ready to go. From listening to the scanner, it sounds like we may have both a female engineer and a female conductor. The car attendant, O. C., figured if he wanted to know what was happening to the train he'd come check with me.

I had a nice visit in Milwaukee. Everything was on foot so my range was liited. Down on the lake front I saw a tour being conducted on Segways. Now that would be fun. They have some well preserved old buildings here, very unusual architecture in some of them and some very modern stuff, the Art Museum on the lake front is quite distinctive. I think I would like to come back here sometime and explore a bit more, just not in the winter time.
