Isn’t the whole point of living in a town like Madison the ability to scooch right off the bike path and feed a pig some tortilla chips and apple slices? Get it together, folks! #keepmadisonweird #saverudi madison.com/news/local/gov…

@PaulaNiedenthal Noooo!! Rudi has been such a joy for my kiddos to visit on our daily commutes!!
