My first vacation starts tomorrow (for 6 days - yay!). Cruising to the small but popular town of Vermillion SD through the 4th, to visit Uncle Don and nearby son Dan - K's cousin Dan. Visiting the collapsing farmhouse farmstead where Kath's dad was a boy. re-Discovering lots of vintage pull-behind implements decaying in the overgrown woods, and launching burnables down at the road in front. They have way better fireworks than MN. With any luck, I will be smuggling a Holy Cow mortar back with us. It's the loudest thing I've ever heard (and felt) explode in a MPLS alley so far.
