Impossible, I have seen those turkey hunting shows on TV .

They weren't around to film the Turkeys blocking the road when I was riding the Scoot to Louisville . The turkeys KNEW I didn't have my gun, or License, and didn't know the season in Inidana

Power went out just before I left to take Gravy Jones to the vet and I saw this on my way into town.

I called it in to report a tree on the line. They sent a crew out and the crew were there while I was driving back home. Tree was gone. Power just came back on a few minutes ago.

This is a drone shot of the new swimming pool in my home town in South Dakota. It is supposed to be completed in a couple months. It is on the south edge of town. If you look to the top of the photo, above the horizon, you will see wind turbines. These were the most productive wind turbines in the U.S. from the time they were built and may still be. It is a windy place. Continuing down the road is a reservation and Big Bend Dam on the Missouri River, also used for power. View attachment 126702

There had been an Olympic sized pool in the same location since around 1960 that was torn out a couple years ago. It had served the community for 60 years.

There was lots of fundraising for the first pool done mainly by the local Civic League. My mother was a part of the Civic League's fundraising, but she was deceased before the pool was built. A former resident, a rancher who moved to Nebraska, had donated lots of money to get the first one built.

The community does lots of fund raisers and so far has raised about $911,000 towards building the new pool. I looked at the donation list and there were many people donating $1000's for the pool build. I have donated money because I realize how important the pool was to us when we were growing up. The pool cost about $2,000,000. I don't know where the rest of the money will come from for the pool. The community does not qualify for a Head Start program because the farmers and rancher's income raises the financial threshold above the qualification level.

There are less than 700 people in the county.

In a small town, a swimming pool can be such a great thing for children in the summer. I spent most of my days there when I wasn't out at my other grandparent's ranch. I took as many swimming lessons as I could. When I was a kid, it was 10 cents a day to go swimming, or $3.00 for a summer pass. I worked in the office of the pool one summer while I was in college.

Today was the ribbon cutting for the new pool. There are some great videos, but only on Facebook. I wish I could post them.

Went to visit the new headstone for a friend's mom. She was a very beautiful, proud Choctaw Indian Tribe member. She was also a friend. I was presented yesterday with a hand painted silver dollar, with Trump 2020 on it. Her mom requested that I have it. What a beautiful Trumpster she was!

Great idea.

Edit: This is a continuation of the previously posted photo of the new swimming pool built in my home town that was dedicated and opened yesterday.

The photo works, but the short speeches and blessings spoken at the time of the ribbon cutting tell about what a special work this was. The county is the fastest in losing population in the whole state of South Dakota, but the people are so hard working, dedicated, honest, and generous, making the building of a $2.4 million dollar pool an incredible story, imho. Many people contributed to the financial aspect of the pool: farmers, ranchers, corporations, former residents, children giving coins, ongoing fundraising efforts. It is hard to imagine that a small town of less than 700 people could do this, but it speaks to the spirit of the community.

Edit: evidently several farmers donated grain that they grew, that was sold and the money donated to the pool fund.

I always thought that my college days were the best days of my life. I was super busy with classes, studying, working, but the socializing was the best. I woke up before almost everyone else and was on the go all day long. I slept well at night. But when the weekend came, I would enjoy time with people who lived in the dorm, were in my classes, and that I worked with. Others were into drinking while I was into hanging out at clubs, listening to music, dancing and just relaxing with friends. Good times!
