Greetings from Wall, SD

Free wireless internet? Why, yes! The PK and I have been on the classic All-American summer vacation. We've seen Old Faithful (and now I have the Old Faithful name mug! No Priya, unfortunately) and the Geyser Basin at Yellowstone, bison, a wolf, deer, and a "cow moose" in same park and in Grand Teton. So nice of the park employees to put those animals out there for us. Wyoming is a crazy state. Most beautiful mountain ranges I've ever, ever seen and just terribly into their cowboys and rodeos. I'm used to a different kind of sports news. Today we went to the Crazy Horse memorial (dude. crazy. more later.) and Mount Rushmore. Very strange, the hubris of dynamiting the mountain to put somebody's picture up. Tomorrow we will take yet another Scenic Byway on our way through the Badlands before just trying to get through the next few states. Man, these states are incredibly long/wide, but at least they are all covered by Dairy Queens. Hope you are all well, and will talk to you soon!

I *heart* Dairy Queen on long driving days.

Just looked up Wall, SD on Google Maps. It's a wee little wisp of a place, isn't it? And yet, there you are (or were), probably a stones' throw from the Wall Municpal Airport.
