We
celebrated a couple of nights ago and now I will try to recover!

Monday we posted
our 15 hundredth Ad Astra blog.
Monday night we celebrated. Thank you for your many notes of congratulations.
Now it is time
to recover and rest up. I’m going to visit the Sand Hills of Nebraska for a few
days. I’ve never been there before and I look forward to it. My blog will be
silent while I’m gone. When I return I’ll have some photographs and something
to say about the Dismal River and the
Sand Hills. Please, come back then.
“The Dismal
River is a spring fed short stream that flows quietly and peacefully through
the Nebraska Sand Hills. Its pace and its depth is always the same. It never
overflows and it never dries up. Amazingly, it is one of the most consistent
rivers in the world.
“…today it is
rarely visited and seldom viewed. It is seen and known only to the occasional
canoeist, the townspeople of Dunning, Nebraska, where it empties in the Loup,
and the travelers on Highway 97 (very few), who cross the river on the way to
and from Mullen, Nebraska and beyond. The people who see it the most are the
golfers: the guests at Sand Hills Golf Club where the Dismal meanders
unpretentiously behind the Club’s cottages and those at the Dismal River Club
where the deck from the clubhouse looks down on the Dismal River Valley, the
likely location of Buffalo Bill’s last battle with the Indians.”

In the meantime
In the meantime, please support Minnesotans United for All Families in its efforts to defeat the proposed amendment to the Minnesota Constitution in the November election. The amendment will limit the scope of marriage. In other words, give generously!
