I feel safer already*

The FBI National Academy Associates are having their national conference in Milwaukee beginning Friday. A co-worker friend's husband has been through the training, and is on the organizing committee for the conference. Consequently, she's been drafted to chair the committee organizing activities for spouses and kids; it's a very family-friendly conference/training/vendor show.

My co-worker has arranged private tours of the Art Museum, Discovery World and the newly-opened Harley Davidson Museum, as well as a trip up to Bayshore for shopping and recreation. All in all, it sounds like a lot of fun. Except for Friday, when some storms are predicted, it appears the weather will cooperate and show our visitors how nice living here can be.


*Wisconsin is one of only two (or four - I couldn't find a definitive answer just now) states that do not have a provision for concealed carry of firearms by any persons but law enforcement officers. Granted, we have enough deer rifles to arm a battalion or two (or many, many more - we sold over 600K hunting licenses last year).
