John was born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota and he does the most beautiful sculptures I've ever seen. What makes them so very special is that they're all MADE OUT OF SCRAP METAL!!

IF THIS ARTICLE IS CORRECT, I MAY LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE WAL-MART GO DOWN THE TOILET WHERE IT BELONGS
You know I can't resist sharing this article about the serious problems Wal-Mart is finding itself in.

I SALUTE THE STUDENT TRAVEL AGENCY!
The travel agency does just what the name implies. They arrange educational trips for students and they have announced a great new policy.
They will NO LONGER PROVIDE TRIPS TO PLACES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE UNETHICAL MISTREATMENT OF ANIMALS.
The banned attractions, on the list, include SEA WORLD IN ORLANDO AND SAN DIEGO as well as destinations that include elephant rides and Tiger Temple in Thailand.
THEY GET A GOLD STAR FROM ME
INTERESTING NOTE FROM DUANE
"The paper says Rapid City and La Crosse are up for 'best little city in the USA'. The article says La Crosse has the Mississippi River, the bluffs and beer. Rapid City has the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore and a park that runs through the entire city along Rapid Creek.".
TRAVELS WITH DONNIE
If you could enlarge this poor cell-phone snap, you'd see the Yankton skyline(!) atop the bluff above the Missouri River at the rear of this shot.

This was the view from my dining table at a fish shop across the river in Nebraska. Photo of Tom Brokaw on wall, thanking owner for a fine evening.
Almost stopped for the night at Freeman Country Inn, but it smelled funny. Instead, in Yankton I pay twice as much, but at least this motel is brand new.
Though it was bitter cold this morning, I reached Marion area by mid-afternoon and played the 9-hole course between Marion and Parker--the Par-Mar Club. I did not go into Marion.

SOUNDS LIKE A NORWEGIAN JOKE
A chicken walks into the library and walks up to the librarian and says, "Book."
The librarian says, "You want a book?"
"Book."
"Any book?"
"Book."
So the librarian gives the chicken a novel and off it goes.
But an hour later the chicken comes back and says, "Book-book."
The librarian says, "Now you want two books?"
"Book-book."
So she gives the chicken two more novels and it leaves but it comes back later.
"Book-book-book." "Three books?"
"Book-book-book."
So the librarian gives the chicken three books, but she decides she'll follow the chicken and find out what's going on.
The chicken goes down the alley, and out of town and towards the woods and into the woods and down to the river and down to the swamp and there is a bullfrog.
The chicken sets the books down by him and he looks at them and he says,
"Reddit, Reddit, Reddit."

I'M GLAD TO SEE PENNY'S IS MAKING A COME BACK.
SALES UP 6% in the first quarter of the year and that's the second quarter of sales increase they've had.
I always liked shopping at Penny's. Hope they stay around for a long time.
Meanwhile WAL-MART SALES ARE THE WEAKEST THEY'VE BEEN IN FIVE YEARS. I love hearing that!
NO FREEZE IN LA CROSSE
But, at 4:00 AM, it was 28 IN SPARTA. That's a hard freeze we shouldn't be having at this time of year.
No doubt about it. This is not a normal spring. It will be a lot warmer today than it was yesterday, with an AFTERNOON HIGH IN THE LOW 60'S but that's still 10 degrees colder than it should be for the 17th of May.
HERE'S ONE I HADN'T HEARD BEFORE
Having shot a moose, Ole and Sven began dragging it by the tail to their pickup. On the way they were stopped by the game warden.
"Let me see your hunting licenses", he said. When he saw that all was in order he asked if he could give them a little advice.
"Ya, Sure, you betcha" the hunters said (have you noticed? That's what Norwegians always say.)
"Well, guys, I think you would find it a lot easier to be draggin' the moose by the horns instead of the tail."
"Ya. OK. Tanks" they said.
After about five minutes Ole said to Sven, "Boy, it sure is a lot easier to be draggin' the moose by the horns and not the tail."
"Ya. You're right.", says Sven, "but have you noticed dat vee are gettin' furder and furder away from the truck?"

PAUL SAYS HE CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING THAT FUNNY
C'mon, Paul. No matter how you look at it, a table full of Solberg's is always funny.
