our 2nd audio book we picked up from craker barrel is a novel by michael chrichton about this new technology that changes things' dimensions. it's interesting and keeping us entertained on this 14 hour journey through somewhat flat farmland. besides the occasional hill and scattering of wind mills/farms, there is really not much variation in the landscape. even the farmland is void of character: perhaps it's the time of year you let the ground go fallow (i think that's the word) or maybe there really isn't anything to plant in the winter, but the fields are bare, with remnants of some dried white stalk... or maybe hay.
we have about 7 hours to go, which will put us in kadoka around 8 or 9 pm. we're not sure if we travel enough distance in south dakota to enter mountain time or not, which cuts the state in half- our craker barrel map doesn's show kadoka... imagine that. hehe
the next proper city we drive through is sioux falls... or as jared called it "sigh-ox" falls... and at that time we'll be in south dakota, just over the border. until then it's 134 more miles of desolate farmland and micro-sized people trying to survive in the hawaiian jungle.
