Tue
-- 12:30p  Bed
--   7:30a  Up
--   7:55a  Going downstairs for breakfast; scrambled eggs, very fatty bacon, biscuit  & gravy
There was no one else in the dining area.
--   8:45a  Leaving hotel to tour Appleton before it starts raining.
-- 10:57p  Stopped @McD for a soda, but I noticed that, on the app,
fries are free if you buy a soda, so I got that.

--   2:40p  Finishing up with Manitowoc.
It had started to drizzling about 2:10p. but very little. Heading to Sheboygan

--   3:12p  Arrived at a McD parking lot in Sheboygan;  Stayed in car.
There is moderate rain and there just was a huge thunderbolt -- but only one.
On the way from Manitowoc on I-43 there was some lightning at a distance
but I didn't hear any thunder.  There was a huge downpour and traffic in the
right lane slowed down to 40 mph.  I stayed a large distance bethind a truck.
Some people were parking on the shoulder under underpasses,

--   3:18p  I'm able to connect to wi-fi from the parking lot at the
McDonald's but the rain is still fairly heavy and the
weather report says it's likely to continue for another hour and a half.

--   3:40p  Arrived at a place called Al & Al's Stein Haus
because every other place seems  to close early -- they're open until 6p.
But, it's just a bar and the kitchen is closed.  But, at least, the rain has stopped
earlier than expected, so, I'll just continue my tour if I can get my bearings.

--   4:35p  Finished touring Sheboygan Falls, I could only see the dam.  There was 
a chain across the entrance to the falls viewing spot and a sign that said "no tresspassing".
I asked some locals about it, but none could explain.

--   4:47p  Arrived at Tony's favorite place, The American Club in Kohler.  
Took photo of the garden and left.

--   5:45p  Arrived for dinner @The Spices Indian restaurant in Sheboygan: chicken kadai,
since it seemed to be the only place open that wasn't fast food.

--   7:28p  After stopping for gas, headed home.
On the way to the interstate, I noticed the low-gas indicator had come on.
I expected to find a gas station near the interchange, but there was none.
Luckily, there was a couple of gas stations there.

-- 10;00p  Home
Ramp from I-294 to I-88 was closed.  Normally, I'd cloverleaf at Mannheim but
there was an accident on I-290, so I just took Roosevelt Rd.

-- 10:12p  Skim Ch5 news
-- 11:51p  "Seth Meyers"
