No pets in the picnic area?? Trevor must have been there!

The welcome rest stop as you enter South Dakota!
It's Fargolicious- yeah that's right FARGOLICIOUS--- I have decided that the only way to keep sane while doing all of this traveling is to keep a sense of humor. Luckily enough, I do have a good sense of humor. I left Chicago Sunday and drove to Sioux Falls, SD- I had to leave early enough so that I could watch the season finale of Amazing Race all stars- I was cheering for Charla and Mirna- but alas- they
did not win! I am very proud of them for coming in third place! Way to go girls.
Monday was a good business day - but the weather was so dreary in Sioux Falls- I had hoped to get down to the river and finally photograph the waterfalls that make Sioux Falls famous-- but all I would have taken pictures of was me getting wet.
Yesterday and today have been so beautiful- the weather is perfect-- too bad I am in North Dakota right? Last night I had a wonderful run in a beautiful neighborhood here in Fargo. All the spring trees are in full bloom- and you could really sense that finally it is spring!!!! The Red River here (of the north) is flooded as they had substantial amounts of rain over the weekend. I hope to get another good run in tonite. Currently I am over in Bismark for the day. I get a sense of how the pioneers must have felt traveling across the great plains- of course I am sure that my trusty Ford is much more comfortable than a covered wagon. The open prairie seems to go on forever- occasionally broken by a tree or small river. It is a simple beauty - and when you stop and get out of the car you are greeted by clean fresh country air and the pleasant sounds of bird chirping. While I have not motivation to move to the Dakota’s- it is a nice change of pace from the city life.
I do have to comment on my girl Paris Hilton-- While I am a general big supporter of Paris -- she crossed the line this time! She deserves the jail time- and trust me she will capitolize on the whole venture with a book and possible TV movie-- I can see it now- and actually can’t wait-- I wonder if they can make it into a Simple Life show- Paris in Jail-- perhaps Nicole could bake a cake and try to help her get out of jail by baking a cell phone or other escape device into it!!! Paris- if you are reading my BLOG next time- hire a driver--- I have seen you drive on TV - you are not a good driver sober-- so please hire a limo-- you can afford it!
Another interested fun North Dakota fact-- the Starbucks in Fargo has city mugs!! Go figure???? I thought they were only for major cities such as Chicago, LA, San Francisco, and such. In fact I was in Phoenix that fall and told that they do not have them. I had to buy one just for novelty of it all.
OK- random rambling again- the garage sale Megan and I had for Team in Training went really well- the dismal weather did not help our sales- but we got rid of the stuff and made some cash for help fund cancer research!!!
Have a great day--- from you FARGOLICIOUS friend.
