10. And That's A Weird Thing

I used to go to Wisconsin a few times a year.

Madison for national credit union things, Racine and Beloit, for supplier and customer support, and Eau Claire a couple times for the university.

I noticed coming back on I-39 that the roads were like pool tables until i hit South Beloit. Then it was like going over railroad tracks until i got South of I-88.

Now i've heard the same thing you describe that the roads are pretty beat up in WI. The exact opposite of what i experienced, over and over, for 15 years.

That's a shame.
