Wisconsin’s Open Records law gives requesters the right to request records from their government. After all, as the law states, “a representative government is dependent upon an informed electorate.”

In a few weeks I'll be out in a swamp at dawn as part of the annual Crane Count. I've done this every year for almost 50 years and I have seen sandhill cranes come back from extremely rare to much more common.  for the first 8 years or so, we never saw a crane.

On Sunday night, I played a video game that included preparing hot pot, which involves cooking different meats, seafood, vegetables, and starches in broth.
