-CORRECTION-

Yesterday, I stated that Judy first guessed "England" and then "Greenland," where we then in turn declared her the contest winner. In fact, on her third try she guessed "Thailand" and is, therefore, authentically declared the winner.

SANDY DOG NOT DOING WELL

We learned today that Sandy, Jill's parents' 13-yr old golden lab, has taken a turn for the worse in her bout with cancer. Not willing to eat this morning, she apparently started eating later in the day. Jill picked up some natural medicine information for Sandy from Sundaye's naturopathic vet. We sure hope she gets better; she's been a great, if not enthusiastic, puppy dog.

Sundaye had these words to say: Hope Sandy feels better. That natural food's not bad, but the acupuncture is no picnic.

DAVE REID BORED IN GILLETTE, WYOMING

I spoke with dad in his Gillette hotel room this morning and he was so bored that he actually hung in there for a conversation that lasted longer than five minutes. Apparently he's already visited most every Indian battleground within a 100 mile radius of his hotel. He did exaggerate report that he and Steve "Nosmo King" Reid hauled in more than 30 brook and rainbow trout at one of Steve's infamous fishing holes the other day.

I took a look at the following link to the Gillette Visitor's Bureau and there's PLENTY to do there! Holy cow, who wouldn't want to go to an RV Rally or take a coal mine tour? In fact, Gillette is officially the Energy Capital of the Nation with 15 active mines, a few of which are the largest in the world.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR DAD???

On a different note, as soon as I get my picture storage site up and running, we'll be able to put some of his digital camera pictures on here for everyone to see... so long as they're not all oil rigs.

TOM AND KATE HEADED BACK TO SACRAMENTO

After a week of laying tile and painting in Las Vegas, Tom finally gets to head back to balmy Sacramento tomorrow morning (Sunday - 29th) with Kate, who flew down for the weekend.

Jill and I just wanted to say that we promise we'll be easier on you, Kate, if you are able to come up here in a couple of weeks! The weather is nicer, the berries are in season, and we'll be on our best behavior... but please, no trips to Long John Silver's.
