Let me explain. The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway. When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism. I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.
Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui.
I now live in Torrance, California with my SO.
I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant.
Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.

And I was hoping for some jewel encrusted platinum teeth ;)
p.s. the blog I mentioned on the last comment, don't check out until tomorrow. I forgot I haven't actually posted the relevant article yet. Whoops!
That is a rockin' grill! Love it! :)
And thanks for the song suggestions on your other blog entry. :) :)
GR & MHP--the best thing is that I bought two of these grills...one is still new in the box!
