Every four years, U.S. citizens across the country wait in winding lines, patiently standing back-to-back as they prepare to cast their ballots for a presidential election. Yet, when the COVID-19 pandemic arose in March 2020, the days in which strangers could stand less than six feet apart or share an unmasked smile with other voters quickly vanished.

Shots rang out across Wisconsin on Monday, Feb. 22, as the state’s first wolf hunt in seven years took place.

Like all problems with the apartment, it started with an inconvenience.
Walking the Lakeshore Path after nightfall is not for the faint of heart. Not only does the trail suffer from non-existent lighting, aside from the streaks of moonlight through the trees, but it lacks access points for police or escape routes for walkers.
