1. After two days of travel where the temperatures went into the low 90s and the sun was bright and unforgiving, today, as we left Wisconsin, crossed Minnesota, and entered North Dakota, the temperatures fell all the way into the 50s and we had cloud cover all day, making the driving more comfortable.
2. We checked into La Quinta in Bismark, where pets stay without an extra fee (!). I almost immediately jumped back in the Sube and drove downtown to the Laughing Sun Brewing Co. and bought me and the Deke a growler of Feast Like a Sultan IPA. Back at our room, the Deke had gone to the lobby and picked up a complimentary salad and a couple slices of complimentary pizza and we partied for the next couple of hours or so, very happy with how very tasty our jug of beer turned out to be.
3. The party really got rolling for me when I played some videos of the Seldom Scene, including songs they recorded with Jonathan Edwards, and played a set of selections from The Band's performance at their last concert, featured in the movie The Last Waltz.
