DAY FORTY-THREE: March 2, 2008 Hettinger, North Dakota
In today’s Bismarck Tribune front page, top-of-the-fold, the headline reads, “Gold nuggets from the soil,” Wheat farmers are enjoying $20 a bushel! Yesterday I mused about Channel and Gucci boutiques going in next to Wal Marts around here, but I quickly nixed that. The paper says, “The farmer doesn’t have his money very long. He takes it to town… he goes to the bank to pay down loans, and gives money to the equipment dealer and upgrades an old tractor, or buys another piece of machinery.”
Well that’s just like us. Frank’s bidding on a six-string version of his bass on EBay, and I’m working towards that dreamy nine-foot Steinway.
Tomorrow’s a travel day 320 miles across South Dakota and will be a good time to write about all our adventures today; and there were some, definitely! Stay tuned…
