Day One - Arrived Safely.

Have landed safely in the sixth state of ten, South Dakota, and thus have made reasonably good time for the first day of three. Not much more from three to speak of, since this is a low-profile, low-power sort of update from a hotel e-mail station. None of you will have to hear me speak, horror of horrors that this is, if this trend should continue. That said, our first choice for the night was booked up, and we luckily managed to get the last room left at our current locale. For a rather expensive price, I might note. Hopefully tomorrow's vacanies will be better.

Plenty of rain in Michigan, hard rain, but no flooding nor strong rain for the rest of the drive to current location. So I'm here, safely, soundly, and certain people can stop worrying about whether they sent me through floods.
