    YOUCH!!

    I haven’t been back to South Dakota more than twice this semester because of the three-point-five hour drive involved.

    Surely the time was an exageration?

    I stopped for about 20 minutes at Portillos on the way home to have a beef sandwich and fries. It’s normally about 15 minutes from my place but it took me 50 minutes and that was when traffic was lighter.

    The first ” big snow” is the worst The next will be better

    Hey Von,

    There were several accidents that added to my travel time, unfortunately, once I got off the expressway
