Last Link-Oh-Rama of 2013

Busy week, lots of driving, relativing, singing and celebrating, but very little blogger. I’m only human.


** South Dakota likes its cowboys: Tiny Oelrichs counts two world-class rodeo athletes as residents
“I think it really gives everybody down here a common cause to cheer for,” he said. “Everybody — whether you get along with your neighbor or you don’t get along with your neighbor — everybody is cheering for Chad and Lisa.

“For the past few years, 40 to 45 percent [of Americans have gotten vaccinated]. … Our goal is 70 percent, and we’re not there yet.”
** 14 movies somebody can’t wait to see in 2014. None interest me, except maybe the Johnny Depp one.

** Do you know what Meatloaf won't do for love? My 22-year-old daughter surprised her elder workers with the correct answer.
