That explains why it didn't register.

I have only been across North Dakota a few times, and only twice when the sun was up. I do recall that now, since you placed it for me.

We were there a couple of years ago. It takes off of the Interstate to the South. There are quite a few sculptures.

Jim, this is something you may enjoy on your way back home from your trip. Then, as long as you're in the neighborhood, stop by. (In this part of the country anything wthin 300 miles or so is "in the neighborhood".) I'll do some ribs 'n biscuits.

Not sure how we will come back.....depends on a lot of unknowns at this time, but if we come back your way I sure won't miss seeing the new little babies...you too, of course!

You guys will miss me.....well, not really, but it will give all the Mods a break from following me around!

It's a long trip, not sure I'm up to it, but I'll give it a shot. Used to be easy on long trips...now, not so much.

Regards to all my friends here.....you guys are all A-OK! Bert...he's just fine too!

Thanks ..plan to pull out tomorrow. My neighbor is feeding the animals for me. It's a long haul but ...there is some excitement and some dread.....know what I mean? I'll be better once on the road.

Best Regards!

You guys behave while I'm absent.....be kind to young Bert.....it's not easy in life having a genetic disorder that repels bacon........think of it...it could be one of us

......No...not really!

God speed, Jim.
Be safe!

"God speed"... Isn't that the next level past "Ludicrous Speed"? Have to ask Dark Helmet next time I see him around.

And, do full deities get a faster speed limit than minor deities or demigods?

Inquiring minds want to know these sort of things!

and of course, we approach yet another milestone post count. Who will get it to 27.000K?

RoxnDox · 06-03-2016, 07:36 PM

Will Bert reveal a change of heart and embrace the bacon?

Will Otis invade and take over the Casa de Ruperto while they're off on the road?

Will people continue being smart-alecks and posting mostly-random nonsense just to keep the eternal thread going and save Tokyo?

(dunno on the first two, but I'm pretty certain about the last <grin>)

RoxnDox · 06-03-2016, 07:38 PM

Oh, and Rupert - have fun and enjoy the trip and come back in one piece so we can keep picking' on ya (and getting it all back of course)

RoxnDox · 06-03-2016, 07:43 PM

Huh. Europe must have gone to sleep... Geez, just because it's the middle of the night over there, hardly a reason to skip being here. :/

Or maybe not?
