I hadn't realized that Madison, Wisconsin [gmap] is such a pleasing isthmus before I came across this print by Ruger... or is this artistic license?
I take it one of those lakes is where Otis Redding died? (if any sentence is worthy of a frown-faced emoticon, that one is... but I'm both hard-hearted and have a reputation to uphold.)
