I saw a neat news story on the local news last night about these guys that have been going across North Dakota and photographing and filming the vacant and near vacant towns in North Dakota. I always thought this type of stuff was pretty neat because once it’s gone, it’s gone.

I’m glad someone out there is preserving this North Dakota history and I wish them well in their journeys. If you would like to visit the site go to: GhostsofNorthDakota.com

I’m just testing out posting from my blackberry phone as I’m not sure if I will have internet at the hotel we are staying at in Minneapolis for Trenton’s eye surgery.

We leave very early Thursday morning and tomorrow I have a ton of stuff to do including getting the tranny oil changed in my Avalanche before the trip.

I’m getting ready to head down to Streeter for James’s wedding. I’m taking the camper so we don’t have to drive back tonight. Should be an all night party, knowing the groom!

Well ain’t this a wonderful thing:

Coke and Pepsi agree to quit selling pop at schools

Oh this makes them look like such a great company, helping fight teen obesity and all. They are even giving up all their sales and such.

Anyone thought of this? All the kids are just gonna walk across the street and buy it at the local convenience store and spend an extra $.25 because of taxes and the fact that it’s not coming out of a vending machine.
