Where the Werewolves Love Techno.... These Roads are Stained with Varmit Blood...

Hello all...

and welcome to the Connor Maloney awards

first up

the award for worst roads in North America go to... South Dakota
-this was a close one folks but the 12 miles of gravel on a major road and the apparent inability to maintain a consistent pavement makeup for more than 50 feet gives SD the win over its closest competitor, North Dakota

the award for largest amount of road kill in North America goes to... South Dakota
-again, another close one, but the number of decapitated deer, fallen birds, and unbelievably flat raccoons earns this state another trophy

The award for the overall worst state goes to... North Dakota
-There is a reason people don't go or live there. And there are a lot of reasons we are never going back. For instance, I'm not sure cell phones or internet have reached that place yet...

anyway, i'm getting kicked off line...

the pictures below are in no particular order but (and I apologize for the wrong angles, more computer problems):

Isaac consuming the biggest pancakes we've seen yet (we've seen a lot of them)

A great sunset over the Missouri River

The best picture we got of the plains

Always great to see a new post! Family and friends await now that you are almost out of the Dakotas.

Look for treats that should have come in the mail to Faribault, care of the Slingers.

Can't wait to get you guys east of the Mississippi!

Love,
Mom
