Denver Visit
Catching up on many missed posting days… I went back to Denver for work (way back during the last week of June). It was a very productive trip – and I got to eat much good food. Not quite what I see sitting at my desk (there is more sky since I’m sitting), but thisContinue reading “Denver Visit”
Every Eatery
I have a new goal: Eat at every eatery in Rapid City. That would be impossible in Denver, but I think it might be doable, here. This first post is backfill.

Hibernating Menace!
This is ridiculous. Page 2: ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWING! four bullet points. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWING! five bullet points. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION! seven bullet points (bleeding on to page 3). Oddly, hair dryers are not called outContinue reading “Hibernating Menace!”
