Just a heads up that if your kid was having football practice yesterday evening (Aug 18) at Prairie View Middle School, those coaches made absolutely no effort to get the kids off the field when the lightning started. I believe there was also a severe thunderstorm warning in place at the time.

There was more than 10 minutes of lightning before the rain started, and not until then did the coaches begin to clear the field.

I'm all for toughening kids up having them out in various weather, but lightning?? I would think they would have a policy on that. It's one of those things where they wait til something tragic happens and then say "There's no way we could have possibly predicted this."

*Edit: I looked up the Sun Prairie Schools policy, and the policy is to immediately go to shelter at the FIRST thunder or lightning. Definitely not what took place yesterday.

I noticed that the only two roads providing access to the Sun Prairie Woodman's have a Flock camera setup. I'll see if I can get some pictures later. They do not appear on the deflock map. I am guessing these are not rented by Woodman's but by the city of Sun Prairie. I'll see if I can get pictures tomorrow.

Hello!
I am currently planning a very important date, one that I plan to tell my best friend that I am absolutely in love with her and I can’t hold it in any longer. Her (28f) and I (32f) have been friends for 10 years and over the course of the last couple of months I’ve sent her 10 gifts in the mail. I still have 8,9,&10 to go.

Anyway, back to the question- I am struggling to find a place to eat for lunch on a Sunday. We both plan to wear dresses we wouldn’t normally get to wear, so I’m not looking for a bar and grill or anything along those lines. I’d like to avoid food fight restaurants, but will go to one if it’s recommended multiple times.
The big caveat is that she hates seafood, of any kind. So sardines is off the table.

TIA

\*\*Edit to add: I put this in the comments, but I thought I’d just paste it here so yall know the plan and don’t think I’m gonna like propose in the middle of a lunch rush. 🙃

I guess I should’ve worded it better
I am not dropping a bomb shell in the middle of the restaurant- I am giving her her 10th gift at the end of the meal, with a letter and necklace that tells her “how over the years I’ve cried when we’ve parted. I think of her every single day, and cherish the matching tattoos we have. That after all these years, all these moments, I have to be honest with myself and honest with you. I am in love with you, and I think I may have always been. “
Likely I’ll ask her to wait to open the letter and just present the gift (it’s a cute plant that involves an inside joke that would absolutely give her or I away)

Sorry if I missed the posts- I tried searching but all I found were years old. Looking to move to Wisconsin shortly and debating between McFarland or sun prairie. Haven't heard the best things about sun prairie but want to know more from people in the area! Is it safe, clean, etc.

Thank you!

Anyone know anything about the black cloud over SP right now? I noticed it as I was coming unto town from the Hwy N and on mainstream near the interstate.

… who needs to be throat-punched or not voted into office next term for allowing all of Main Street, the end of Linnerud, AND Bailey to be under construction at the same time?

The level of frustration — living right across from East Highschool and working near the airport — is rage-escalating, every day.

It’s ridiculous. 🤬

Is anyone else’s SP Utility bill very high this month. Mine is the highest I’ve ever seen by far and it says that I used almost double the energy I did last month. I know it was hot in July and my AC would have ran a bit more than in June but not double.

For reference it is $75 higher this month and $50 higher than my highest bill ever.

In what world is that cramped room going to work for a November election? The line for dropping of ballots wrapped all around the voting booths. It was a clusterfuck.

Sal’s used to be my go to but they have really fallen off. I haven’t been to Sugar River, for some reason that has a commercial feel to me. I like tavern style, there just doesn’t seem to be any options for that in SP. Where is everyone going these days?

I heard an explosion, anyone know what that was?

Getting back into running and my body really hates constantly having to pound away on hard paved trails. Would like to know if there are any dirt, grass or otherwise no paved trails in the area?
