| HWY 13 DESIGNATED A SCENIC BYWAY |
 |
| HWY 13 AND THE APOSTLE ISLANDS |
Saturday, 9:00 AM. 42 degrees F, wind calm, the channel like glass. The sky is clear but hazy, the barometer stands at 30.14 in., and the humidity is 82%. It promises to be spring weather again (I am no longer saying "springlike") as sty snow continues it rapid retreat.
Wisconsin officials have named a fourth scenic byway: Bayfield Peninsula's Highway 13.
The Wisconsin Lake Superior Byway follows the southern shoreline of Lake Superior for 70 miles starting at U.S. Highway 2 and state Highway 13 in Bayfield County. It continues around the peninsula and ends at county Highway H in Douglas County.
The views include boreal forests, sandy beaches, Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
The newly formed Wisconsin Lake Superior Byway Council will now be able to compete for federal grants. The route will also be marked with official signs.
The other three scenic byways are state Highway 35 between Prescott and Kohler, state Highway 60 between Lodi and Prairie du Chien and the state Highways 42 and 57, which circle the northern Door County peninsula.
The designation was made last fall, but the scenic byway signs have just gone up. The designation took well over a decade to accomplish, mainly because all the small communities along the route had to agree to certain billboard and sign restrictions. Keeping the effort ongoing all those years and finally accomplishing the goal was the work of a group of very dedicated and persistent community leaders. Hwy. 13 is a very beautiful byway indeed, and the designation will help to insure that it remains so.
Yesterday I opined that "Obamaspeak"was a purposeful methodology used to confuse and conquer the pubic. Add to that the weaseling out of virtually all decision making by almost everybody in authority in the present administration. The most recent case in point is the State Department and Hillary Clinton's denying that her signature on various documents relating to the Bengazzi disaster meant that she had any knowledge of what she was signing, and therefore she bore no responsibility for the content of the documents. That is not only absurd, it repudiates a thousand years of common law regarding the sanctity of contracts, in effect denying the legitimacy of signatures on common contracts and other legally binding agreements. It denies that there is such a thing as a lie, or even a mistake.
Try telling a court of law that your signature on a mortgage or a credit card application or a bank check does not bind you, because you always sign such documents without reading the fine print. The Administration, from the President on down, does not believe that it can be held liable for anything it says or does.
Harry Truman famously said, "The buck stops here." Today it doesn't even pause to catch its breath.
