Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Since you took Wall Drug, which was a cheesy tourist trap indeed and also so worth a stop - I pick the corn palace. It's actually really neat to see. I have no idea why they do it that way but it is neat - and a bit corny of course.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Wall Drug - summer of 1977 - the signs were better than the actual place - LOL Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo is kinda weird. A group of "artists" back in 1974 took the time to "plant" ten old Cadillacs in a field...
ReplyDeleteThe Jolly Green Giant Statue in Blue Earth, MN or the world's largest strawberry in Strawberry Point, Iowa
ReplyDeleteI've been to Wall Drug as well. I remember my mother telling me she refused to go there because of all the advertising that she'd see for miles when she was traveling through the state. LOL I have a vague memory of the largest ball of twine or rubber bands, but I can't remember specifics.
