World famous Nik Walenda is bringing his famous high wire act to the Wisconsin State Fair on August 11th. He will be walking over the Milwaukee Mile Racetrack on a wire the width of a nickel. This is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for our area and I'm hoping to see it. I remember watching his grandfather Karl twice as he performed between games of baseball doubleheaders. That was on television though just like when I watched Nik cross over the canyon on a windy night on television. I can't wait to see this in person.
There's a solar power plane going around the world by two pilots. It's completely powered on solar.
Coco was up sick with stomach problems last night and stayed home from school. It looks like he's finally feeling better though so hopefully he'll make it tomorrow.
Jazz in the Park just announced their 2015 lineup with a pretty mediocre lineup just like last year. Maybe the unknowns will be good, one never knows. It used to be a decent size event on thursday nights. The bands were great, you could bring dogs and your own booze. Now you can't bring dogs, security makes you buy booze from the vendors and sponsors but the talent level went way down. I'm smelling cash in someone's pocket and it isn't mine or the dogs!
Later
