In my own way I try to personify what I admire in women. If I fail to reach that goal, it is because of my own inadequacies. But I will keep trying!
This is the Superior Entry Light, better known as Wisconsin Point Lighthouse. It sits at the end of a concrete and boulder pier that juts out into Lake Superior for about a third of a mile. Along with Minnesota Point, which sits just north or west of it, this light marks the entry into the harbor at Superior, WI. Between the two point lies the longest fresh water sand bar in the world, just so you know. The lighthouse was sold at auction last October to a private citizen, but the light and foghorn will still be maintained by the Coast Guard. If you're looking for a nice drive and peaceful solitude, this is a great choice. I haven't been there in years, but it's on my list to return. I just hope I live long enough...

Ah, the infamous Thomas Vista! These 1990s Type-B monstrosities from High Point were distinguished by their strange styling, their noisy interiors (with an invasive engine doghouse intruding into the passenger compartment), and an awkward driver's position.
Why exactly did they exist? I don't know. I can't imagine that a Vista would have cost less than a conventional bus of the same capacity, since they rode a unique International chassis that had to be amortized over fewer units than a "normal" chassis-cowl. Thomas was swallowed up by Daimler in 1998, and the new regime's first order of business was to have the Vista axed.
By the mid-2010s, surviving Vistas in school fleets were getting so few and far between that any example still clinging to life had to be photographed, in spite of its faults. This one was living out a second existence supporting an advertising tarp...which was a sure sign that its route days were over.

Wisconsin Red Fusion wine, 2015 vintage, Class of 2016 Food Science, Red Fusion, was produced through the Campus Craft Winery, a collaboration between the Fermentation Sciences Program and Wollersheim Winery. Students enrolled in FS375, a course taught by food science professor Jim Steele and enologist Nick Smith, were responsible for not just producing the wine, but also for naming the product and developing the label. The project yielded 230 cases of wine this year, and Steele hopes to up that number to over 1,000 cases next year. Proceeds will help support the food science department’s wine-related outreach, instruction and research efforts.

Built in 1892, this Flemish Renaissance Revival-style mansion was designed by George Ferry for Frederick Pabst, a brewery owner, and his wife, Maria Best Pabst, whose father had previously owned what became the Pabst Brewery. The house was the home of the Pabst family until 1908, and saw the addition of a pavilion designed by Otto Strack to serve as a Pabst exhibit at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, which was relocated to the mansion after the fair to serve as a conservatory. In 1908, the mansion was sold to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and served as the residence of the archbishop and various priests until 1975, and saw the conservatory pavilion moved to the east side of the house to serve as a chapel. The house is clad in brown brick with stone trim, a hipped and gabled red terra cotta tile roof, Flemish gables, decorative pinnacles and ornate reliefs, one-over-one double-hung windows, fabric awnings, ornate porches, a stone base, and a pavilion built of similar stone to the trim on the house, with a copper roof and large windows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Since 1978, the house has served as a museum, with the pavilion having been dismantled in 2024, with future plans for reconstruction at its original location on the grounds.

Wisconsin & Southern train T-4, with seven locomotives, crosses the Rock River in Janesville, Wisconsin on April 4, 2015. Certainly not the ideal sun angle, but for seven units I'll take what's given.
USS Wisconsin (BB-64), "Wisky" or "WisKy", is an Iowa-class battleship, the second ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. She was built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and launched on 7 December 1943 (the second anniversary of the Pearl Harbor raid), sponsored by the wife of Governor of Wisconsin, Walter Goodland.
During her career, Wisconsin served in the Pacific Theater of World War II, where she shelled Japanese fortifications and screened United States aircraft carriers as they conducted air raids against enemy positions. During the Korean War, Wisconsin shelled North Korean targets in support of United Nations and South Korean ground operations, after which she was decommissioned. She was reactivated 1 August 1986, modernised and participated in Operation Desert Storm in January and February 1991.
Wisconsin was last decommissioned in September 1991, having earned a total of six battle stars for service in World War II and Korea, as well as a Navy Unit Commendation for service during the January/February 1991 Gulf War. She currently functions as a museum ship operated by Nauticus, The National Maritime Center in Norfolk, Virginia. Wisconsin was struck from the Naval Vessel Register (NVR) 17 March 2006, and, as of 14 December 2009, has been donated for permanent use as a museum ship. On 15 April 2010, the City of Norfolk officially took over ownership of the ship.
