goodbye cheese, goodbye friends. goodbye cows and dick bacon. goodbye lakes, geese, and ice-too-thin-to-step-on (learned the wet way). goodbye breweries and fat factories...goodbye wisconsin!

Steak&Shake :: ingested for my mother.
While speaking on the phone with my mother about the things I plan to do in Wisconsin ("yes mom, dick bacon. it's his name.") she interrupted me with a request so filled with enthusiasm that it rocked my little brain from thousands of miles away...
"Wait. Do they have a steak and shake?"
"Yeah, I think we drove past one today."
"OH MY GOD! You have to get a burger. Oh my, just listen. Ok. Listen...They've got these BURGERS...and these SHAKES...oh my god you just, just go. Ok? go for me?!"
"Um. ok mom."
"Great. wow. STEAK and Shake. wow."
My mother informed me with glee that the patties can be served on toast. oh joy of joys. L.Dubs took one for the team and finished my half as I continued to inspect the tropical orange hue of the "special sauce."

Heyo. I be a traveller of states.
I, along with my trusty new phone/sidekick 'Gay Panda' have made it to the fine state of Wisconsin all in one piece. It's been a pretty intense journey to say the least. I got home from a weekend in Mammoth and packed all of my belongings into a suitcase the size of an affordable Tokyo flat. "Sally the Mustang" took me to Denver where I boarded "Max the Lion cub" and flew to Milwaukee...the beautiful land of baby-leashes and Steak&Shakes.
