Yes, it's not only the cheese that comes in chunks. And as a native of the land behind the cheddar curtain, there's nothing like a drive through Coon Valley! :) Just take your camera during Oct. atop the bluffs along the Miss. R., bring some curds to nibble on, and enjoy photography @ its finest. Collin Brendemuehl (The state rep. David is a distant cousin. But I have no clout with him.)

Well, Houston was revealed to be The Fattest City in America in a recent study. Let's just say that if you were to look around Wisconsin and then consider that fact, it would really make you tremble with fear and wonder at the thought of the denizens of Houston. --Mike P.S. Rural Wisconsin hamlets aren't actually god-forsaken. Actually, they can be quite charming, friendly, and picturesque. I've visited some declining coal towns in Colorado, certain impoverished pocket industry towns in Illinois, and a few rural blights in Virginia, though, that truly deserve the term. There are a number of Swiss towns in one area of southwestern Wisconsin that are almost enchanted, in a weird, hybrid, eccentric kinda way. And the girls there are so pretty!
