I know I’m a little behind on my videos; I’ll catch up eventually. But here (finally) is the video (see below) from my February trip to Milwaukee. This predates my trip to Barnacle Bud’s, but that’s only because it took me a while to edit this one. Stormwater and sewage are pretty big topics in Milwaukee, as one can see from the recent sewage spills reported on here at the Friends of Milwaukee’s Rivers’ news page. In fact they have a whole history recorded here on the the problems Milwaukee’s rivers face.

But I think the video sums up pretty well what I’m trying to do about stormwater. And how to enjoy the cold weather at the same time.
