Amidst campaign stuff, I thought it might be nice to take a moment to be grateful for a little beauty, a pretty fall, and a nice rain.

Have been asked about ballot issues. The simplest answer is, if in doubt, vote “no.” This is doubly true for constitutional amendments. If it subject to interpretation., assume it will be misinterpreted. Anything that needs the courts interpretation should be a definite, no. Personally, I haven’t found a ballot issue this year that was essential. So for me it is simply “vote no” in November.

I have heard there is some interest in doing another Christmas Market sometime, somewhere. We still have decorations and lights from the original and are paying for storage. It is time to shut the storage down and pass on to another group. It is a nonprofit so we have to have someone either take over or we can donate to another non profit. If there is interest let me know.

First trip to the 4850 foot underground level at the Sanford Underground Research Facility to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the next phase, the installation of experiments. 20 years and one day ago the collaboration agreed to work on the 4850 plan. It was my “baby” back then. It’s grown quite a bit since then and is bringing $2billion to SD. An international group is doing the most advanced neutrino science right here in SD. To modify a line from my big brother: those tiny neutrinos are actually a pretty big deal.

Thanks to great sponsor for CFFL!

Darin and Stacy Blow, owners of the The Wooden Nickel in Crooks reached out to us at the CFFL and asked about becoming a sponsor. So of course we were excited. Then they told us their idea and it became even better. So on every Tuesday from Today until our Superbowl September 26 they are going to give our league 10% of their sales. This could be huge for us. All we have to do is promote it and hopefully get you to take a night off from kitchen duties and let Stacy and her crew cook for you. They are so pumped about this opportunity as we are and Seriously who doesn't like Fried Chicken? Sign me up and the league benefits. Win Win. So many great things going on with the CFFL keep a eye on the page in the coming days. Detail of the Chicken Night benefit at the Wooden Nickel are below.
