I've been working on our original website 
So Wednesday night we had a really nice spring thunder storm. But then on Friday morning, it started again, and by the end of the day, there was 15 inches of snow in th middle of the state. Jamie was speaking at the South Dakota History conference – doing a reading from Washsaka. It was really nice, but back to the weather. Today, it is sunny and beautiful. Typical South Dakota. I was reading the paper this morning and it was talking about which state had the most optimistic people, and guess what – it was South Dakota! So crazy, but I suppose it could be true. After all, things are always really really tough in South Dakota – you have to work like crazy to make a living, but we are used to it. So in really all the people who are left here in South Dakota are the folks that hung on during the depression – all the slackers left. They moved…well, I don’t want to imply that the softies are living somewhere else, but I will say, you have to be either crazy, or really tough to live here. And if you are really crazy, then I suppose you could be said to be optimistic.
Anyway, here’s the storm!
