Well this is impromptu. Jim "Papa Cyclone" Leonard called me this evening asking about the next couple days in the Dakotas.

If the pattern looks too good to pass up on the 9th, I may try to extend my vacation an extra day. We’ll see. My laptop computer is heading to New York (800tech.com) to be serviced, and it should be back next week. By next week, I should begin post-work of all the photographs since May 23rd. By the way, I have a new cell phone (with a new provider), but my number is still the same, for those who know it.
