After I talked with one of the teachers at school who lives by our farm, I'm inspired to have a Sunday Morning Ramble about living on that dusty gravel road and what it meant to me and how it shaped my life.

I look back nostalgically (because I am that old) at the time I spent cleaning out the barns, the lessons I learned and how it has prepared me for life.

As we are about to enter the 5th month of the Chinese Flu my wife and I are starting to get more than a little tired of all the drama, hysteria and hyperbole surrounding it so we decided to go on a road trip. Luckily we live in South Dakota and have a governor who treats us like adults and hasn’t placed any restriction on us so we are free to travel as we wish. So we started by taking a trip down memory lane.
