i miss everything about it. i miss the sound of crashing dishes as we shimmy side to side. i miss the shaking hands after 5 cups of coffee. i miss the early morning brews by the river. i miss the smell of fresair. but most of all i miss those damn pamphlets!
i think they should have pamphlets about things everywhere. like not just at convenience stores, hotel lobbies, rest areas, local businesses, dentists offices, doctors offices, gynecologists offices, hair dressers, nail salons, malls, and various other places that we frequent pretty much every day of our lives, but they should also have them like on the corners of rural streets (say HWY 134 in north-central minnesota).
ok so maybe they have pamphlets everywhere, but not here. not where i am. not when i want to read them. so therefore i had to settle on animal planet and the history channel for my fix of random facts.
1. when wolves mate, they actually have to stay adjoined for about half an hour. like they really can't pull out. at all. even when the alpha male is attacking them.
2. bison in yellowstone go near the geysers during the winter to find food since the heat melts the snow and they can eat the grass. lots of them die of arsenic poisoning because of it. why keep eating the grass? that sees dumb.
3. permission was officially given for them to build Mt. Rushmore on March 5th, 1925. hey kat! that's your birthday!
4. also. this exists: http://www.ahsgr.org/
damn. i miss pamphlets. and you guys.
Alli, we miss your facts so much that we have continued to gather pamphlets at every stop. Deadwood was a huge success. We gather over a dozen pamphlets, leaflets and maps.
