it's my bed at the hotel I'm staying at in Milwaukee. It has stairs.
The hotel is lovely. The bed is gigantic - the mattress hits at my waist and I'm 5'5", meaning either the stairs or a running start are indeed necessary to make it up there. I find this endlessly hilarious for some reason.
So I've made it back to the central time zone after a brilliant evening in San Francisco, where I visited Union Square.

And had gorgeous weather.
Then it was on to Denver. Where I had a blast, but not enough time to take pictures. Except of this watchful fellow in the Denver airport, which struck me as quite Nightshade appropriate.

Now I've returned to my home territory. Even though I'm from Wisconsin this is my first visit to Milwaukee. I have already learned that the world's largest bell resides here. Apparently it is larger than Big Ben. Go Sconnies! We have a big bell.
Yes I've been traveling for four days...I may or may not be a bit looped at this point.
