Happy Independence Day!
Lest my blog readers think I'm unAmerican....here's my tribute to America's Birthday.
On tap for today is some much-needed house cleaning in the AM and then go hit the fireworks show at Wilson Park around 7. The sun is already up and shining--I guess June gloom is over.
Hope you had a great 4th of July! I'm looking forward to reading your "tales of Austin" in the very near future--someday soon when I'm not falling asleep in my chair. :)
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.
