I wish you a safe mission!

One of my fellow co-workers, who is in the National Guard as a specialist was called up to assist a west river guard unit for a mission in Afghanistan for 13 months, he leaves in 2 days.

I wish him the best. He is a very smart kid with a great future and I know his unit will be successful.

So it takes a former SNL comedian turned MN Senator to defend the Lewis & Clark project?

What a joke, ironically;

TEA, SD – Construction of the Lewis and Clark Regional Water System is just past the halfway point but federal funding problems are prohibiting any upcoming progress.

Minnesota Senator Al Franken toured the Tea project Saturday to gain better insight before taking his concerns to Washington.

I would agree, what a great infrastructure project, that should be paid for by the Feds, except, Sioux Falls already decided to bail out the feds on this project to the tune of $80 million for a pipeline we will hardly ever use and we will not be able to watch reunion Cher concerts at. What is more troubling is that it takes a Minnesota Senator to bring this to awareness.

Mayor Huether to address civic group Sunday (18th) @ 2 PM

Hell, I will even answer questions standing on my freaking head!

I got some cloudy details about this event from two different people, but since I don’t take notes while drinking malt beverages, these are the only two things I am clear about:

• Mayor Huether will be taking questions from a civic group concerned about the future of Sioux Falls, tomorrow at the Caille Branch library at 2 PM.

• It is open to the public, and they are welcome to ask questions – about the future, that is, not Debra Owen 🙂

I know there is a couple of South DaCola foot soldiers that can fill us in on more deets. Please, the comments area is reserved for you.
