The Wisconsin state capitol building is a little hard to photograph. The building is shaped like a big X, with major streets bisecting the angle between the wings. In a photograph, this makes it hard (for me, at least) to figure out just what angle gives you a level horizon. No matter how I turn this, the photo looks tilted.
Completed in 1917 (a little late for the bulk of state capitols), this was the fifth building to house Wisconsin's government. The building is 284 feet tall, making it only three feet shorter than the U.S. capitol building in Washington. The dome is constructed of Vermont granite (because I guess they didn't realize that much of northern Wisconsin is granite) and is, according to Wisconsin, the largest granite dome in the world. The statue on the top supposedly has a badger on its head, though I didn't bring my camera with the superzoom, so I couldn't see that for myself.
After four years, Nebraska State Command Sgt. Maj. Marty Baker relinquished responsibility Aug. 10, 2019, to Command Sgt. Maj.

Baker was sworn in as the eighth State Command Sergeant Major in August 2015, after holding a variety of leadership positions throughout his career, including four previous command sergeant major assignments. His insight and advice on enlisted personnel related matters, training, and quality of life have been valuable to the success of the Nebraska National Guard. Following the change of responsibility, Baker celebrated his retirement from the Nebraska National Guard after more than 39 years of military service. (Nebraska National Guard photo by Spc.

This area I like to call Central Command. All the data screens were a
bit overwhelming at first, but now I know what the important info is on
each screen. A couple of interesting points:
> Top Right - shows info on depth, speed, tension, and payout related
> to the CTD cast. This is one important part in making sure we don't
> drive the CTD into the ocean floor.
> Second from Top Right - live view of the Baltic Room, where the CTD
> cast goes out from. (Door is closed and CTD is inactive, here.)
> Middle Right and Middle Center - show bathymetry results from the
> multibeam. "4128" is the depth to the ocean floor in meters.
> Clock at Middle Left - shows the time in Coordinated Universal Time
> (UTC). It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), i.e.,
> the mean solar time on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, and GMT is
> sometimes used loosely as a synonym for UTC. This is the time that
> science operates in so that there is no confusion about what time zone
> the data are collected in, whether it's daylight savings or not, etc.
> UTC is 3 hrs ahead of local (Punta Arenas) time, and 5 hrs ahead of
> EST.
> Computer at Lower Right - shows the "ping" signal from the
> instrument. We use this to track the instrument during the electronic
> "burn" and release of the instrument from the bottom, and as the
> instruments makes its way to the surface.
