Countdown to Plevna: 10 Days


Here in Baker, Montana, we don't tolerate ANY loafing! Especially not in front of the Seneco gas station.

Today was another standard day. More errands, some shopping for upcoming birthdays, some questions about insuring our car and future house, and then the dinner-making. By the way, I don't recommend wheat-pasta. We tried it tonight, and it just wasn't the same. We did get to tour the cooler in the flower shop. That was amazing, and smelled wonderful! We chatted with the woman behind the counter at the Lawler Drug and Hallmark. I can't remember her name for the life of me, but she really wants us to visit the Old West Town up in Medora, North Dakota. We left there with about a dozen tourism brochures for the entire area... Apparently there's a full skeleton of a dinosaur just 20 miles South in Ekalaka.

No one guessed the trivia from yesterday, the answer is Ismay, population 26, about 18 miles West of Baker.

Trivia: How many dead grasshoppers (in a jar on display at the O'Fallon Historical Museum in Baker) were removed from a single bundle of rye in the bad locust year of 1938?
