Rhonda and I are closing in on Spearfish. It is very hot in the Midwest right now, but the forecast is a little better for temperatures and outside activities. Be safe and we look forward to meeting new friends.

I have learned a new word. Windiana. Iowa was worse, but good for the wind generator business.

We had an interesting incident yesterday. A small van pulled a bone head stunt in weaving in and out of traffic and cut me off. Then the driver passed a truck on the right before the truck could pull into the right lane. This was in the middle of nowhere and no reason to drive that way.

In a mile, we came upon the van heavily wadded and facin the wrong way on the interstate, two semis locked up and skidding off the road, and a third pickup with significantly modified sheet metal. One of the semis had a ruptured tank. I told Rhonda when the van passed us “that’s a wreck going somewhere to happen”. I am just glad we weren’t involved.

Stay safe out there.
