Bill Sell's pen name is dedicated to the grief of the children whom Socrates was convicted of ruining and for which he was ordered to drink the hemlock. Any resemblance to the goings on in the 21st century are purely intentional. Sell became a transportation maven during the study of a bicycle path on the Hoan Bridge (Milwaukee) and the inability of Wisconsin's Department of Transportation to dedicate space for bicycles after an exhaustive study proved its value and safety. He gave up his own car five winters ago.
