No word from Rita and Roger since their phone call, from the car, yesterday.

I'm guessing they're, safely, in South Dakota this morning.

 

They're there for a sad occasion this time.  It's the funeral for one of Rogers close friends, Pete, who passed away recently.  Pete had lived in La Crescent for years but was, originally from Mitchell.  I met Pete and, like all folks from South Dakota, he was the best.

I don't know, exactly, where Rita and Roger are staying but there has been quite a bit of rain between Mitchell and Sioux Falls early this morning.  It was all moving toward the northeast.  No chance for any of it reaching La Crosse today.
