On the Road and Being a Tourist

Wow, that was one long damn drive. I haven’t seen the site since late Monday, so I’ll talk smack about Jeff’s posts later. I just wanted to get some kind of update on here so you wouldn’t think I had disappeared off the face of the earth.

We made it in to Wall Drug in South Dakota. That is quite the freakish little locale, I must say. I bought a Wall Drug hat and Hoodie. I am such the lame ass tourist. The next day my wife and in-laws rolled in to Yellowstone National Park and did more tourist stuff. And, of course, I had on the Wall Drug swag. I was, and still am, a total Wall Drug whore. I felt like such a glaring tourist, and that bothered me for a few minutes until I realised that I was standing in a National Park surrounded by people that are tourists. After that I really didn’t care all that much.

I have been doing a little research for the podcast that Jeff and I will be presenting starting some time in the near future. I think you’re going to like it. If not I sure know that it’s going to be a hoot doing it.

Tune in tomorrow, when I will have read Jeff’s posts, and experience the joy that is a computer junkie back on his electric mainline.

True story from 1999

On meeting President Bill Clinton Yoshiro Mori, Japan’s Prime Minister, asked Clinton “Who are you?” with the intention of saying “How are you?”

Since Clinton thought it was a joke, Clinton answered to him in English, “I’m a Hillary’s husband, and you?”

Yoshiro Mori answered “Me, too”.
