How picking up and reading one book can lead to another, and another and another.
What I love about books, and libraries, and catalogs, is the somewhat weird trail one can follow starting with just one title. For instance, here’s an example of a trail I recently followed, starting with The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The Help lead to…. Below stairs: the classic kitchen maid's memoir that inspired Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey by Margaret Powell: A kitchen-maid's through-the-key-hole memoir of life in the great houses of England. At 15, in the 1920s, she arrived at the servants' entrance to begin life as a kitchen maid. Lowest of the low, her world was one of stoves to be blacked, vegetables to be scrubbed, mistresses to be appeased, and even bootlaces to be ironed. Margaret tells her tale of … (...read more)…

With the 2011 and 2012 recall elections costing Wisconsin taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester) introduced an amendment that would change the way we do recall in Wisconsin. Vos is Co-Chair of the Joint Committee on Finance.
Last week every community across Wisconsin spent thousands of tax dollars on an unnecessary recall election. In a few weeks, our local governments will spend that same amount again. Racine County Clerk Wendy Christensen estimates that a quarter of a million dollars will be spent on the recall elections in our county. So, it’s not surprising that the total cost of the two recall elections statewide is expected to exceed $16 million. I think we all can agree that’s too much money. These dollars could be better spent or even better, given back to the taxpayer. Our state is turning into the recall state. My constituents continue to grow tired and frustrated with the never-ending campaign cycle. Even the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Editorial …

A closer look at the numbers in Tuesday recall primary indicates that many Republicans cast ballots in Democratic race for governor. If that's true, GOP turnout was much larger than it appears.
There were 614,511 ballots cast in the Republican primary for governor in 2010. That was a contested race between then Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and former Congressman Mark Neumann. Walker, running nearly unopposed in Tuesday’s recall, received 626,538 votes. That’s nearly a 2 percent increase in Republican voters from 2010, despite just token opposition for Walker, and does not include crossover votes of Republicans voting in the Democratic primary (most likely for Kathleen Falk). To put the Republican turnout in perspective, Walker’s 626,538 vote total was equal to 91.4% of the total votes cast for all of the Democratic candidates and the Democratic protest candidate running as a Republican. In 2010, Milwaukee Mayor Tom …

There's some spiffy savings happening in the drugstore world this week so I thought I'd kill two....errr....budget birds with one column. ;) Let's start over at Walgreens.... Walgreens makes saving is pretty easy with their Register Rewards program. Each week there are oodles of deals which produce Register Rewards, or RR for short. They will print with your receipt at the checkout and can be used on future purchases like cash. There are a couple caveats though. You can not use an RR to purchase an item from the same brand as what the RR originally developed from. When you use the RR just make sure you do not use it to buy other items from said company. Also, if you're using manufacturer 'pons make sure you do not have more items in your…

The history of the 30 subdivisions that will receive the signs over the next three years have been heavily researched by the Greenfield Historical Society.
Earlier this week, Greenfield Patch ran a story on the Greenfield Historical Society's efforts to identify 30 of the city's subdivisions with specially designed placards. Below are the subdivisions that will receive the signs, separated into the years they are expected to get them, courtesy of Greenfield Historical Society president Bob Roesler: BOULDER LANE PARK - 1938 - Spring Green & Edgerton The name of Edgerton Avenue was originally “Boulder Road”. It was changed to “Edgerton Avenue” as part of a county-wide street and address reorganization in 1930. EDGERTON ACRES - 1954 - 68th & Edgerton This was the first of nine Greenfield subdivisions bearing the name of Edgerton Avenue, a street laid out in Cudahy in 1892 and named after Elisha…
