Photo-A-Day #145 08/31/05 This was a granite sculpture that was in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota airport. I wanted a photo when I landed on Monday, but ended up not having the camera ready, so I got it today. It is titled Monarch of the Plains.
Photo-A-Day #144 08/30/05 I ran down from Brookings to Sioux City Iowa to Rooster’s Harley-Davidson to pick up a pin. Parked outside was this very elaborate trike. It was named the Joker. Pretty sweet.
Tonight I went to see the movie The Brothers Grimm. A very good movie. There was humor, heart and some amazing sets. The fantasy world of the Grimm Fairy Tales came alive in stunning detail. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger were great as Will and Jacob Grimm respectively. They were very convincing as brothers and very fun to watch. If you haven’t seen it yet get out there and see The Brothers Grimm. Also does anyone have any idea why you would possibly need GPS on a golf cart on a golf course. As I was driving to Brookings I heard an advertisement for a golf course that touted their golf carts with GPS. Huh? That makes no sense to me, anyone have a theory as to why that might be needed?
Photo-A-Day #143 08/29/05 Tonight I ate here with Dan, John and Jessica. We agreed that we should have one of these back home. I think it would do well alongside a Chinese Buffet. It even had wireless access so you could have meetings there as well.
I am in South Dakota today. I started out from Boston this morning at 7:50am EST. I got to Sioux Falls, SD at 2:00pm CST. I got to the airport early enough where I got on a standby flight to Chicago. It is a good thing too because if I ended up on the flight I was scheduled for I would have been too late for my connecting flight. While I was waiting for the flight to Chicago I noticed a young woman in a FEMA jumpsuit with a Beautiful Black German Shepard named Taboo. I didn’t get a chance to talk to her and I should have tried but it didn’t work out. I wanted to chat with her and meet Taboo because rescue dogs fascinate me since I read the Iris Johansen Books (Specifically The Search and The Killing Game) and Virginia Lanier Books. It was fascinating to see Taboo interact with the people in the airport. He was too, especially with two twin Japanese boys. I was so interested in finding out more about the team that I googled FEMA and Taboo and lo and behold I found the INDIANA TASK ...
Photo-A-Day #141 08/27/05 Spent the day on the beach, lots of boats on the water. Read a lot more of A Salty Piece of Land. I’m really enjoying that book. Great beach reading material.
