pillars

The free creativity of Driftless life still has a few systems:

the Co-ops, the coffee shops and restaurants, the schools, the 27 departments of Vernon County

(where, by the way, Mr Bjerkos is up against the long-time deputy sheriff Mr Torgerson, after the sheriff's retirement)

And the library - which expresses a bemused mix of structure and flow.

Speaking of Mr Bjerkos...even the young couples continue names like Bjorn and Heidi. This particular one runs a community garden in their front yard, complete with a QR code for participation in choosing tomato varieties and commenting on the tomatillos.
