Yesterday's bike ride through Madison WI

Start at the Lussier Center, out on the Capital City trail to the Southwest trail then through UW's campus, down State Street around the Capital and then the lake loop around Lake Monona before heading back to my truck. Two observations: lots of UW students in groups and no masks (wtf?), and (here comes the therapy)...

NOT

EVEN

ONE

TRUMP

SIGN!!!!

Not surprising really, I mean it's Madison, but I don't live in Madison anymore and I see too many Trump signs around me. Brought a smile to my face for sure.

I bike around here a lot. There isn't one Trump sign this election. Not one. There are tons of Biden/Harris signs. There is one "Republicans Against Trump" sign.

It's so nice to be in a city where as a true liberal you can feel supported with other true blue Dems. Also nice to be in a college town where the school is smack in the middle of down town.
