Conversation Lost!

The room fell silent

when nimble fingers began

scrolling down their screens.

Independence Day 2025

Actually a few days after Independence Day in Deadwood, South Dakota on vacation. We stayed at the 3-story "Lookout-Tower" Vrbo cabin in the Gilded Mount community just outside Lead, SD, and at an elevation of  5570 ft. A wonderful experience. 

The famous Bullock Hotel with Flags Flying

A needed lunch  at "Mustang Sally's" with Humble Blogger and Loving Wife Rose (we're the old ones at the table) and (some of) Rose's family.

Memories

Once, when no sleep came,

he let his mind wander through

his best memories.
