Traffic
I'm out on a bike ride today, a truck had just passed me, and up ahead I see a fawn sprint across the road. The truck slowed, missed the fawn, but a jeep going in the opposite direction hit it. Poor little fawn went flying-- probably dead on impact.
So I stop, make sure the guy in the jeep is okay (he was a little shaken up), and head off. That's when I see in the bushes along the side of the road another fawn (I'm guessing the dead fawn's buddy or sibling?) standing there trembling. Usually deer run away when they're scared, but I guess it was in such shock it just froze. I felt bad for the little feller.
End of story.

What is up with the RR crossing for southbound 107th just south of Brown Deer Road???
You have to take it at about 3 mph to not bottom out your car. It has been like that for years, and it's getting worse.
I know -- as do most of the veterans of that dangerous crossing -- the way to avoid it is to go as far over to the right on the road as possible-- the crossing there is smoother. Of course that always confuses the person behind you if they don't know the trick.
Whose responsibility is it to fix that crossing? The Railroad? Milwaukee County? Milwaukee City? Something needs to be done!!!!

Just a heads up if you haven't already encountered this traffic headache:
AVOID GOING SOUTH ON PORT WASHINGTON ROAD IN MEQUON BETWEEN HGHLAND AND MEQUON ROAD!!!
They have Mequon Road torn up, as well as Port Washington-- and they haven't made any adjustments to the lights. The result: A total cluster ___.
I sat on Port Washington road for 15 minutes without moving more than 20 feet. It's a total mess- don't chance it.
