I worked from Starbucks at Red Arrow Park for part of the morning and made a quick visit to their restroom before walking back to campus. Maybe because it was a quiet time of day, I noticed something about the floor that I never have before. Doesn’t this photo look sort of like an abstract painting?

Milwaukeeans can probably guess why this post is titled “A Thousand Cuts.” Hint for everyone else: Red Arrow Park is home to the “Slice of Ice” skating rink in winter.
