These four-engined British jets are very popular for their quiet and smooth ride, and their ability to take off and land on short runways and high altitudes. At one time, these BAe146 aircraft were operated in the US by PSA, AirCal, Aspen, Royal West, and Presidential. This one is operated by Air Wisconsin Airways Corporation (AWAC), doing business as United Express.

"Ferdinand Thielke Place on Juneau Road 1904-5"
Family pictured were the tenants Pauline, Reuben (boy) and Ferdinand Rex.
When my sister moved into her farmhouse, one of the neighbors said, "I've got an old photo of your house if you're interested," and gave her the original print of the scan pictured above.
The picture had too much green so I changed the green to BW to try to bring out what I was looking at (the flowers and the pickup).
Madison, Wisconsin
The 3rd state capitol building stands on an isthmus between Lake Monona and Lake Mendota. It was designed by George B Post & Sons to replace the previous Capitol that burned in 1904. It was constructed between 1906 and 1917 for $7.25 million. The dome is the only granite dome in the USA.
This immense White House, resting on its roof in the Wisconsin Dells, suggests by its name that within it lies the answer to why our world currently stands on its head. It's a secret, of course -- but it's also a very confusing secret, so we don't feel too bad about revealing what we saw when we were there....
(There are other upside-down White Houses -- in Orlando, Florida and Sevierville, Tennessee -- but they're half the size of Top Secret Inc. and their insides are just expensive arcades that are right side up.)

The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad (WSOR) is a class II regional railroad operating in southern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. Although it retains a handful of E-unit for excursions, it owns only one F-unit, FP7 number 71A. Here it is in Lego, fully equipped with Power Functions and ready to run on the power of two train motors. Suggestions are welcome.
S/S Alpena unloads powdered cement at the LaFarge Corporation silo in the Kinnickinnic Basin at the Port of Milwaukee on the evening of May 29, 2008. The Alpena was built in 1942 as the Leon Fraser for United States Steel’s famed Pittsburgh Steamship Company. The Fraser sailed for USS until 1982 at which time it entered layup, remaining there until 1989. In the fall of 1989 the Fraser was shortened 120 feet (to 519 feet) and converted to a self-unloading cement carrier. It was acquired in 1990 by Inland Lakes Transportation (now Inland Lakes Management) and returned to service in 1991 under the new name Alpena. She continues to sail today carrying cement products between LaFarge facilities across the Great Lakes.
A statue of Hans Christian Heg in front of the capitol; he was a native of Norway who served as a colonel with the Wisconsin volunteers in the Civil War.
UPDATE: this statue was pulled down and destroyed by anti-racists protesters on June 23, 2020 who were apparently ignorant of the fact that Heg was an abolitionist and anti-slavery activist who died fighting for the Union in the Civil War.
