A SD Welcome

South Dakota sure knows how to welcome a native son back! On the day (July 6) that I crossed the Wyoming/SD border to return to SD after a year long absence, the winds were blowing 80-90mph statewide (or at least from Rapid City to Pierre).

And today the summer heat** set in:
What is next? Oh, wait I know! Thundstorms, Hail, Tornadoes... YIPPEE! Yes, I said "yippee". Despite the wind, the summer heat, the winter cold, and the storms, I still love the state of South Dakota.

**A record high was set today!
