which are blaze orange when hunting deer as required by law. Hear tell, some folks wear the color when riding 2-wheelers!

Things are different outside of insular urban areas.

most of the hunted land is private, where orange is not required by law (although I wear at least a balaclava in orange).

Nice story about him here.

http://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/orangemike.html

"Even though Lowrey's carrot-colored apparel makes a bold visual statement, he doesn't want it to completely define him. After all, he is many other things other than a peachy dresser: husband, father, historian, state worker, feminist, science fiction fan, voracious reader, "old-fashioned Milwaukee social democrat," writer, gamer and Wikipedia administrator.

"Wearing orange is a minor aspect of who I am, but it's a visible aspect of who I am," he says. "It's not a deep part of my psyche. It amuses and bemuses people. It's just something I do."

Despite his desire not to over focus on his attire, Lowrey gets a lot of attention, both positive and negative, for his brightly colored clothing.

"Sure, some people are jerky about it. But some people are always going to be jerky and I can't do much about it except try to be less of one myself," he says.

Lowrey's orange-wearing trend started out with an orange hat that he wore to a science fiction convention in the '70s.

"Then, in 1977, I was at an outlet store in Nashville. I saw a pair of orange patent leather loafers and I thought, 'those would go great with my hat,'" he says.

Today, he has hundreds of orange clothing items, including more than 60 pairs of underwear."

He's on our side.

I first ran for office at the age of 20: 70th Tennessee General Assembly district, rural West Tennessee, had been pro-Crockett before the Civil War and pro-Union during it, but lost any trace of progressivism long since. I ran because no other Democrat would. The Republican incumbent outspent me 8:1, but I still pulled 41% of the vote.

I moved to the Wisconsin of Frank Zeidler and "Fighting Bob". Sadly, I'm stuck in the Wisconsin of Scott Walker and Chris Abele.

It was done so the crowd in back could see her better - big crowd for a relatively small room which is great.
