Maybe I should just make this some kind of MIDWEST TRAVELOGUE, because it seems like that's the only time I remember to update. Or maybe not: the highlight of my drive back out to Rapid City this time was an hour spent behind a semi on the highway going 35 mph because the left lane was too icy to drive on.

I am back, fools! I have my camera and a new battery; I will take pictures and relay them to you via the box on the right. That says "pictures." Pay careful attention.
