On July 3rd the Weinermobile was on display across the street from the State Capitol Building in Madison, Wisconsin. Ah, a photo op and why not? The car is a Wisconsin icon, and an American icon, too.

This particular Weinermobile bears the license moniker YUMMY. Very smart, these hot dog people – putting the plate inside the car. There have been reports of missing plates on some of the vehicles. Other licenses the cars have include BIG BUN, OH I WISH, WEENR, WEINER, and OUR DOG, all Wisconsin plates.

Really smart interior. Not only is everything catsup red and mustard yellow, but the ceiling is a lovely cloudscape. Very uplifting, especially during those winter months when the skies tend towards gray and cloudy.

Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

    I love the Wienermobile. I once had the little Hot Wheels version. Alas, the grand vehicle never came to my town, I was never able to lavish my attentions upon it.

    Thank you for this!

    I just finished eat a few hot dogs, but I’m pretty sure they were from someone else. I didn’t make them, which is why I don’t know.

    Makes me hungry. I had a salad for lunch. An Oscar Mayer weiner sounds much tastier. Alas i came to this post too late today. 🙂
