When I looked at today's Yahoo Alert email for my search word "South Dakota" this was a headline:

Duluth shoots down South Dakota men

South Dakota women, too. Must be a Minnesota thing. I swear it'd be a big deal if a carny did it.

No, seriously I spent the longest year in Duluth two weeks one spring. Mighty Thomas Shows going into Thunder Bay. Cold, wet, blank.

Thankfully, the dismal was made up for by good company, good food off the lot barbies and the beautiful scenic route up North Shore Drive to Canada.

Even better seen while hitchhiking but that's a story from our old 'zine, "Geeks, Freaks and Bamboozles". Maybe I should dig that yarn out one of these days.
