Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Security was sure tight around my bicycle yesterday. Not that my bike didn't deserve it, but the reason for the dozens of police and secret service was because the president and my bike were both at the Hilton Hotel in Milwaukee (I park my bike in the garage there). And it cost a lot less than $10,000 for a photo op. with my bike!
I can think of one small problem with hosting President Bush at the Hilton; They closed Wisconsin Ave. during rush hour!
Because going to my regular bus stop would risk arrest, I wandered for blocks in a light rain wondering where I might catch the coach to Waukesha. I hesitated calling Wisconsin Coach from a pay phone because if I did the bus would surely come while I was away. I called anyway because I still had no indication where the routes were running, and shortly thereafter a coach did show up for me.
