@lprokopy So sorry, Linda. Sending love to you, your family, and your pup.

@creekthinker I’m just south of Kenosha (WI) now and walkers/runners are are much friendlier here than they were when I lived in Madison. Interesting to hear all these perspective!

Please can someone tell me why runners and walkers in Madison refuse to say hello to other runners and walkers? In Chicago, runners say hello. Walkers say hello. People at the bus stop say hello. Guys drinking 40s say hello. Is this a Madison thing? A Wisconsin thing?
