I am back!
I just spent the last three days in Medora, ND on a family vacation. Later in the week I will put up the buffalo that happened to walk by.

Anyway I am sorting out 38 emails. (thanks readers) So strap yourself in and get ready for information that has happened since Sunday.

I am going through the first emails I get and keeping with the theme.
