Four days and four states down.  We're in Rapid City.  There wasn't anything significant today and I didn't even take any pictures.  Just mind-numbing driving in a big truck.  How do the long-haulers do it??  Yeah, we saw deer and antelope.  So what.  The weather was good.  The plains are plain.  Maybe I'm getting tired.  Or maybe it's the two martinis I had with dinner.  The dogs have recovered already; Ginger is tirelessly retrieving her toy; Woody is laying on MY bed.  Reality has set in.  We have two days (and 3 states)  to get to Milwaukee.  Sarah swears she'll be up by 6 am.  I'm laughing as I type that.  I still have a sense of humor.  But maybe we'll get out even one hour earlier.  It could happen.  We've set an ambitious schedule for tomorrow and hope to be in Madison Friday night.   We'll see how this plays out  . . .
