Wind energy projects are coming to the old family farms in South Dakota
It’s cool to think that there are old letters in Germany mentioning my great grandpa and his brother living near Summit, South Dakota. My mother’s father was born on a farm near South Shore in 1900. The wind energy projects may be built on the actual sites. I will have to go homestead hunting one of these days to find the exact locations.

This makes me wonder about family genetics
I’ve been experiencing intestinal problems just as my great uncle Clarence did, who died at the age of six. He died from cancer, what the doctor described as a sarcoma of the coecum, a section of the intestinal system connecting the large intestine to the ileum and the colon.

TRUMP ATE A BIG MAC ON FRIDAY
Such important breaking news on CNN.com, self-praise and fat-shaming. Congrats to the smarmy creep, our national hall monitor, Brian Stelter.
