My one exposure to that part of the country, 4 days in the Black Hills,
was marvelous. The light isn't the same. The air isn't the same.

Rapid City, SD is a city of over 60,000 people but there are few tall or
tallish buildings. Someone explained to me that because the space
available, people built out instead of up. Now, this was 1992--who
knows what's happened since?

You missed the big storm on the East Coast. No, you didn't miss
anything except drivers who don't have a clue about how to drive in bad
weather. It took me almost two hours to get to work this morning. Some
towns plow their streets, some leave a varnish of ice, and the usual
suspects driving their SUVs actually take the advertising seriously and
invite mishaps all along the route. Twenty+ years later, seven winters
in upstate New York are still programmed into me. Snow doesn't scare
me; other drivers do.
