This is the best sushi restaurant in Ladner/Tsawwassen by a long way and better and cheaper than most in Vancouver. The sushi/sashimi is always fresh and made to order and there is usually a wait for a table but never too long. The Lovers Boat and Bridge are two assorted meals you can share. Innovative chefs and if you want to try something different sit at the counter and ask them to make you something they recommend. Please don't all rush out here at once!
There is another Maguro Sushi restaurant in the Guildford area, started by the same man who runs this place in Ladner. We found him (Guildfod area) by chance years ago, and kept going back for the excellent sushi. Suddenly, he was gone and others were running the Guildford restaurant. Since it was quite a drive, we stopped going there.
Several years ago, while in Ladner, we saw a new awning in the Trennant Park mall, "Maguro", with the same logo. Next time we went by, it was open, and we dropped in to investigate. There he was, the same man behind the sushi counter who had produced such wonderful sashimi and sushi. Seems like he must travel around, setting up these restaurants and then turns them over to someone else....
Anyway, the Ladner location has the same very fresh fish and well-produced cooked food. Prices are quite reasonable for this quality.
They DO get very, very busy, and a wait is possible - but definitely worth it.
I along with a lot of my friends are regulars at this sushi restaurant. It used to be the best spot in town.
The food was always fresh, atmosphere lively, service left a bit to be desired but we put up with it because the food was so good.
The last 3 times I have been there starting 2011 have been a big dissapointments. The ownership has changed and it shows, the food just isn't the same.
It is unfortunate that this gem has slipped so much, we used to eat there at least once a week.
I may try one more time but now I am looking at other alternatives for sushi in Ladner.
There are some other places which are eager to please and serve the dissapointed clientele from Maguro Sushi.
In Ladner, there is not a whole lot of choice with respect to restaurants so it a pity that I have to confirm the miserable service other reviewers have confirmed.
The sushi is indeed first-rate, and I do on occasion still eat there but the service is at best indifferent and at worst graceless.
My boyfriend really likes this place. I beg to differ. I think he only likes this place because it is MAYBE one of the only 'reasonable sushi places in ladner' and it is only five minutes from home.
The times that we eat here, I always feel sick afterwards. I totally refuse to dine in because service is sooo bad. I dont understand why they cant acknowledge anyone when they first walk in. A simple hi/ hello would suffice. Instead they greet with a turned eye and seat you only when its convenient for them.
The last time we ordered, My california cones were ALL rice, and a few strands of that fake crab meat. I would rather hop in the car and drive ten minutes into richmond where you can find many other good sushi places.
I almost didn't want to review this place because every time I've been there the restaurant is packed. People in Ladner know how amazing this place is and it's quite apparent. This is the best sushi I've had (haven't been to Tojo's) and I've been to countless sushi joints. Their spicy tuna rolls are the best I've had for sure. Everything here is very fresh and their sushi rice is awesome.
The restaurant itself is very small and sort of cramped, I suggest calling in advance picking up, buying a bottle of wine and going out to one of Ladner's many beautiful vantage points for a picnic.
Outstanding Value for the quality of food.
We travel here from Surrey for top notch sushi! I can't eat sushi in downtown Vancouver anymore. Very interesting rolls and the chefs are happy to make anything you suggest. Today we asked for something with spicy tuna and scallops and it was such a delicious creation Hojin the owner came up with. Sashimi melts in your mouth with freshness. I wish Hojin would open up a place downtown so I could go everyday.
always fresh and always busy.
price is always right. Short of going to Tojo's for the real and ultra fresh.. Maguro does a great job of getting all the bases covered. It's not the biggest restaurant so don't be surprised to have to wait on any given evening.
All the rolls are always fresh and put together nicely. Rice is always firm and not over or undercooked. Soups, ramen , combination bowls are all top notch and service is always great.
You can tell how good a place is by the line up and how many "to go" orders they need to deal with on a nightly basis.
Good stuff and when I am in the area to visit family. I love it here
This little gem is a great place to go for a succulent meal and a relaxing time. Filled with charming little booths that ensure a private and cozy experience, Maguro is generally a busy, happy place. Our sushi experts adore their fresh, delicate and inventively prepared dishes, and their tempura prawns are to die for! The bento boxes are excellent and well priced. Even the Japanese tea is delicious; nutty, toasty yet astringent. And for some reason, their Miso soup is better than anybody else's! Often busy, so book ahead if you can. Well worth waiting for even if you show up unannounced, does takeout as well. Also offers a good selection of Japanese beers and sakes. Great decor.
Prior to tonight i used to be a regular take out and the foodwas always fresh and the order was always correct. This last order the person onthe phone was almost bitchy, and when i went to pickup my order. It was wrong but i only discovered it when i got home, so i phoned in and almost got into an arguement with the next person. They did say they will make a note on file. But to be honest i probally will not go back. To bad to see a great restuarant go down hill.
If you're looking for a good night out that includes decent service, forget this place. And if you have kids, don't bring them to this kid-unfriendly restaurant. Our server barely understood English and didn't acknowledge my well-behaved, polite seven-year-old son who loves Japanese food. The sushi was OK, as was the soba noodle soup but I was too turned off by the pathetic service to care much about the food. If I go back, it will be for takeout and only because there are very few restaurants in Ladner.
Service is terrible:
Words cannot even begin to describe how bad the service is. The staff avoid any eye contact with you, we waited over 30mins before we were even acknowledged at the door.
Once the waitress takes your order, she disappears in the back. Good luck getting more tea from the tea master with the pigtails.
Be sure to make a reservation.
The food is good but if you can't stomach bad service and dirty tables, then don't eat here. I took a friend and my toddler there and received some serious attitude from the two full time waitresses (they aren't real Japanese despite their kimonos). I asked the server for a fork and when she brought it to me, she asked me if I wanted anything else. Not in a kind way, but in a sarcastic way. Sorry, but just because English is her second language, doesn't mean rudeness doesn't translate! Then when I had to get up to pay the bill because she was missing in action, the cashier topped the experience off with a disgusted look as she checked over the tip line on the receipt. I left it blank so that I could tip in cash. You'd think they'd prefer the cash. Seeing the shelves full of lollipop buckets, I'm assuming are meant for children... well, I have yet to have my children offered one after about 6 times going there. This was the last straw. My family will not step in there until the owner does something about the service. I'll take the extra 8 minute drive to Ironwood and go to Maruwa Sushi (across from Canadian Tire).
fresh and clean fish everyday, cheerful staffs, and the best part... BEST FOOD/SUSHI in Ladner! I love this restaurant! The owner hojin makes special surprise dishes which is always amazingly tasty. The value of the food is very cheap too. defiantely a hidden gem in ladner. also better then the maguro in guilford. (Previously owned by the same owner, hojin)
For anyone that lives in S. Delta, we already know what a true "jewel" we have with Maguro Sushi. Their food is incredible... the service is amazing. They are busy, so busy in fact I am reconsidering giving this review! We/I dine there on a regular basis and have never had a disappointing experience. We also "take out" on a regular basis in our family from this restaurant and have never had to wait longer than a 15 minute wait time for pick up. The staff are friendly and kind, but the 5 stars go to their wonderful Japanese cuisine. You won't be disappointed.. I promise! If you love sushi/sashimi, and more... you won't regret going to Maguro, and perhaps turn into the the Maguro addict that I am! Closed on Sundays... so sad!
We love this hidden little gem in Ladner! We go at least 3 times a month for our sushi fix. The owner Hojin (probably not spelled right!) is fabulous, we always buy him a beer or 2 while he prepares his master pieces. The service is excellent....you may need to wait a bit for a table because they are always busy, but it is worth the wait...The tuna is to die for. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. I hope Hojin doesnt leave Ladner!!
As far as sushi restaurants go, Maguro is probably one of the best kept secrets in the lower mainland. The locals around here just hope not too many others find out about it.
It's a pretty small place, but is always busy - even mid-week. They also do a brisk take-out business.
The fish is always fresh and there are always new and interesting sushi creations from the chef. The prices are also good, considerably less than you'd pay in a comparable Vancouver or Richmond restaurant.
They have a good variety of combo dinners; combo sushi platters; hot and cold appetizers; and a full complement of a la carte nigiri, maki sushi, and sashimi. If you don't want sushi, they have a variety of teriyaki, rice bowls, ramen and udon dishes.
But I must admit, I go for their excellent sushi, almost every time; and we go often -- probably two or three times a month. I can't think of a single negative to say about their food.
This is by far our favourite Japanese restaurant.
It is nice to go to a Japanese restaurant and get fresh high quality food prepared at a good price. I had a sushi and sashimi dinner box for $16.50, this included chicken teriyaki, tempura, miso soup and 2 pieces of gyoza. Good value for the quantity and quality of the suhi and the sashimi. A nice place to dine, quiet and comftorable.
I've been going to Maguro for years. The food has always been delicious, plentiful, and consistent. The waitresses on the other hand are the rudest, most disrespectful, and snobish I have ever encountered. They are not pleasant, no hello's or how are you? They get you seated, stand at your table not saying a word until you acknowledge them, and then say order now? Straight faced, no warmth, like you're a bother to them. The food always comes fast though. When it comes they drop it on the table walk away and never ask you how your meal is. If you need something, good luck to you. You might be able to quickly say your request as one of them walks by and hope they heard you, because they will not stop to acknowledge that you're trying to speak to them. So it's a 50/50 chance you'll end up with what you ask. Probably the rudest thing I always encounter there is when you're getting close to being done your meal, someone will come over and start grabbing at your food and while they are taking it away will ask you if you are done? If you are not they will put it back down without saying sorry and walk away. But if they get it right and you are finished they plop down the bill as soon as you say your done, will have a debit machine also on the table, and expect you to pay as you're still chewing your food. If you want to sit and enjoy the company your with, well think again. Once the bill is paid they grab a rag and start cleaning the table with you still in it and will mumble, Okay bye now, rushing you out. The food is good yes, but the wait staff act as if they don't need your business. Like they're doing you a huge favour by you choosing to eat at their establishment. Their attitudes really make me think twice if I want to come and eat there, because they make everyone I'm with and I feel really unwelcome.

Exodus 20:12 HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER
Intro: A mother that had scrimped and saved to put her son through college sat in her sons graduation. She watched as he walked across the platform and received his degree with honors. As he walked down the isle, instead of turning into the designated row, he kept walking; down to where his mother sat. The young man threw his arms around her neck, kissed her on the cheek, and as he placed his diploma in her hands, he said, "Here, Mother, you earned it!" The fifth commandment addresses that which many parents have earned.
Lets face it, there arent that many children who hold their parents in that high regard. Too often, good old mom and dad are seen as obstacles to be overcome rather than wise guides to be followed and emulated. In this Fifth Commandment, God lays down a principle for life that will determine how every relationship around you will turn out. You see, the home is the foundational institution of society. No nation, or community of people, is stronger than the family structure that makes them up. As goes the home, so goes the nation, the community, the church, etc. In the home, God has established an order that is to be strictly followed. The husband/father is to be the head of that home, submitting himself to the will of the heavenly Father. The wife is to be in subjection to her husband, not as his doormat, but as his helpmeet. The children are to submit themselves to their parents, and in doing so, will be blessed of the Lord. If this order is followed, then the home will be blessed and will be a blessing to all those involved in it.
Yet, many homes are in shambles tonight because the children have forgotten all about the Fifth Commandment. It is fitting that this Commandment should fall here. It divides the commandments related to God from those related to our fellow man. You see, when we are out of step in the home, we will be out of step with God and with our fellow human beings. It is in the parental relationship that we learn first how to submit to the Lord and then how we are to serve our fellow man.
As we take a few minutes to look into this verse and all that it teaches, we will find that there is instruction here for both parents and for children. Lets talk tonight about Honoring Thy Father and Thy Mother.
Conc: As I look back over all the years of my life, I realize that in many ways I was a very disobedient child. Yet, I thank God for my parents and for the life and raising they gave me. What I am tonight is a product of the investment they made then. The same stands true for each of us this evening! We may not always agree with them, and we may not always understand them, nut they are our parents and as such, they deserve all the love and respect that we can possible give to them.

What, you may ask? Simply the 10th* (yes, there actually were 9 of them in the Middle Ages) Crusade. Each day that goes by, the Invader presses our culture and society with probes to see how much he can get away with. Europe is under siege and is being taken because, simply, they have no Hope, no unifying belief to defend.
Here, many are under the false impression that Christians must sit and watch their culture, cities, towns, villages, families, women and children be pillaged, raped, and murdered while 'turning the other cheek.'
Clearly understood Christian faith demands that we defend Christendom. Get off the fence and off your ass. Train. Equip. Prepare. Yes, there still is time. All you need do, Christian, is look to your priorities: Faith, Strength, and Resolve.
The need for this will be here before long:
And no, it won't be the romanticized Crusade of…

After the eerie hair-raising, checking the shadows for eyes experience of James' The Turn of the Screw, I decided to expand my gothic fiction tropes knowledge by reading a parody. Let's face it, the best way to pick apart the tropes of anything is by seeing how people make fun of it.
Jane Austen does this exceptionally well in Northanger Abbey. I should preface by saying I believe Jane Austen does everything exceptionally well. Her canon is on my annual reading list, and each time I read through them I get something new out of them. In spite of her tendency towards romantic fiction, all of her works satirize society's concepts of courtship, class, and propriety. The more I read them, the more I'm able to see how many of her secondary characters are not so much two dimensional as they are caricatures. This is why Mrs Bennett is so grating and senseless, and why John Thorpe (*eyetwitch*) is so much a cad.
Austen's life is something of a sad one. Her closest friend was her sister Cassandra, and she was a devoted aunt to her little ones, but aside from a reported one-day engagement that she made in haste and then broke off, she spent her life alone. Not that that's the sad part if that's what she preferred, but she died far too young after only six novels (I say "only" because more would have been a wonderful indulgence), and a few novellas.
As an author, her experiences give me hope, because, while she did find some praise for her work while she lived, some of the negative reviews would have been a good punch to the gut. Charlotte Bronte was known to have said her work was "very incomplete and rather insensible", and Ralph Waldo Emerson called it "vulgar in tone, sterile in artistic invention." Yeesh. The always-needed reminder, fellow authors, that you can't please everyone.
The other incredible lesson I just read about was shared by her brother. According to him, she wrote even to her last day: "She wrote whilst she could hold a pen, and with a pencil when a pen was become too laborious. The day preceding her death, she composed some stanzas replete with fancy and vigour." A perfect example that we do not write, we ARE writers. There comes a time when it's not a matter of choice.
But enough rambling about my love of Austen and return to the point of the post. Northanger Abbey, Austen's first written and last published novel, is a parody of the very popular gothic fiction of the time. She breaks the fourth wall a good many times throughout this shorter novel to poke fun at the genres, as well as the critics who insulted the genre — which included authors writing within the genre! People, I tell ya.
Austen picks at tropes like the heroine's mandatory difficult history, the fears she faces after being whisked away by the rival of her lover, the mysteries that build once she's trapped in the old, isolated gothic estate. There's a scene where the hero, Henry Tilney, teases Catherine Morland's love of gothic fiction by describing the scene that awaits her at the Abbey. He describes how she'll be led up to a bedroom far from anyone else in the house, and while setting up her fire, the servant will drop hints about how the room is haunted. On the third night, there will be a storm, and the lightning will shine upon a piece of furniture she didn't notice on her arrival. After exploring the cabinet, she'll find the letter of a woman who had once stayed in that room under horrible circumstances…. and he ends the story there. Of course, with such ideas in her head, everything Catherine faces at the Abbey has a sinister twist, and more than once she's forced to admit her imagination had grown larger than her reason.
For not being a writer of horror or suspense, I found Austen did a great job building it up. Less so for the reader – it's clear to us from the outset that no dark secrets lie in the drawers of the old cabinet, but her description of Catherine's fear and anticipation, the way her hands shake as she has trouble with the locked drawers, you get the full sense of that "what will I find?" from the character. Three times it happens where Catherine's surmises lead her to explore and reveal the mundane truth, and no matter that she's failed before, there's still that bated-breath sensation. The descriptions of empty galleries, of listening for noises downstairs to confirm that she's alone upstairs; the moment where she's about to open the cabinet, holding her breath, and then the knock at the door that makes her jump. As a parody, Austen pulls the twist pretty quickly to make it laughable, but the initial build-up is no less intense for it being comical.
I enjoyed the read of Northanger more this time for looking at the tropes, and it has moved its way up in the rankings of favourite books. Not to mention has kicked off another desire to read through the other five Austen novels…. but no! Bad Krista. That will have to wait.
Next on the list is the novel within the novel. Catherine Morland's first foray into gothic fiction is Anne Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho, and if one of Austen's heroines can brave it, then so can I!

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Anna is devastated when her dad suddenly announces that she'll be completing her senior year in a boarding school in Paris. Anna is forced to leave her best friend and family, for a forgein country where she doesn't even speak the language.
However, on her first day of school Anna runs into St Clair who is funny, charming and of course gorgeous. As their relationship progresses Anna starts to doubt his feelings for her, and whether or not he will ever leave his long term girlfriend.
While this story has a predictable outcome, Stephanie Perkins brilliantly captures the difficulties of starting new friendships as well as the excitement and mystery at the beginning of new relationships.
This book is now one of my all time favourites. It is difficult to fully describe how awesome it is, but once you read it you'll understand. Would recommend it to everyone, but in particular teenage girls and fans of romance with a little bit of comedy thrown in. Five stars!

Sliding Doors
UK: Sliding Doors: Sliding Door Manufacturers & Suppliers
Sliding doors may be used as exterior or interior doors. As exterior doors, they are fully glazed, with frames made from timber, aluminium, or UPVC, and are also known as patio doors. Aluminium exterior sliding doors are available powder-coated in a range of colours, and do not need painting. UPVC exterior sliding doors are available in colours and also in wood-effect colours with wood-grain texture. Internal sliding doors may slide along the face of the wall, or may slide away into the thickness of the wall. This ingenious arrangement is known as a pocket door. Leading UK suppliers of sliding doors and sliding door gear are profiled below the panel of sponsored links.
Sliding doors are used in three quite different applications: internal sliding doors, sliding wardrobe doors, and external sliding doors.
Internal sliding doors can be used in confined spaces, such as kitchens or larders, where there is not room for a conventional hinged door. They are typically fitted slide over the surface of the adjoining wall, with their sliding door gear concealed by a wooden pelmet. They are ugly but practical. A much more elegant form of internal sliding door is the pocket door. These slide discreetly into the thickness of the wall, and are often fitted in pairs. They have the advantage over hinged doors that they do not take any space with their swing, and do not obstruct the walls when opened. However, they are only practicable if built into the wall during construction; it is not practical to add them later.
Sliding wardrobe doors are widely used for fitted bedroom cupboards. They are of two types: bypass sliding doors and bifold sliding doors. Bypass sliding doors run on parallel tracks, and slide over each other. Normally it is possible to open only one half or one third of the opening at a time. By contrast bifold doors fold outward in concertina fashion, enabling the whole of the wardrobe space to be opened. Compared to bypass sliding doors their disadvantages are that they take up some space as they swing out into the room, and their mechanism is less reliable and robust compared to that of a bypass sliding door. An enormous variety of finishes is available for sliding wardrobe doors, including wood veneer, plastic laminate in a range of colours and textures, suede-look, and obscured, white, or black glass.
External sliding doors are also known as patio doors. They are normally fully glazed, with frames of timber, aluminium or UPVC. Like sliding wardrobe doors, they are available in both bypass and bifold forms. The great advantage of the bifold external door is that it can open right back, allowing space and air to flow between the room and the garden or terrace. Since they normally fold outward, they do not take up any more space within the room. They can be supplied with one panel taking the form of a conventional hinged door.
P.C.Henderson: Sliding Doors. P.C.Henderson, based in Bowburn, County Durham, is a leading UK manufacturer of sliding gear systems for domestic, commercial and industrial applications involving sliding doors. Its systems have been designed to allow not just sliding doors, but almost any object to slide. Founded in 1921, with a staff of just three, P.C.Henderson's first products where hay carriers and sliding door gear for the agricultural sector. Today P.C.Henderson manufactures five types of sliding door gear: Straight Sliding, End Folding, Centre Folding, Round the Corner, and Multidirectional. End Folding and Centre Folding refers to whether the panels are attached to the horizontal rail from which they hang at their edges or centres. Multidirectional sliding doors are those which can be steered into a choice of tracks. Sliding door gear can move wardrobe doors, glass panels, timber doors, warehouse doors, shop fronts and gates from one position to another.
Eclisse: Sliding Doors. Eclisse, based in Treviso, Italy, is Europe's largest manufacturer of sliding pocket door systems. These are sliding door systems, intended mainly for use as internal doors, which enable the door to slide away into the thickness of the wall. This creates a clean opening, and avoids the sliding door obscuring any part of the wall. Eclisse argues that is sliding pocket doors create a feeling of increased space and increased light, as the door no longer intrudes into the room space. The Eclisse range of sliding pocket doors is organised into three categories: Single Sliding Doors, Double Sliding Doors, Syntesis Sliding Doors (which, with no jambs or architraves, create a minimalist look), Telescopic Sliding Doors, and Curved Sliding Doors. All Eclisse sliding pocket doors comprise a self-aligning track syste, a self-centering frame mounted gide, adjustable runner stops, and anti-warp profiles. The door jambs are of veneered wood, and the runners are tested to 150,000 cycles, equivalent to more than thirty years of use.
Everest: Sliding Doors. Everest, based in Potters Bar, is a leading UK maker of home improvement products including double glazing and sliding patio doors. Everest sliding patio doors are available in UPVC or aluminium, and may be finished in wide range of colours. They require minimum maintenance; all that is needed is to wipe the door with a damp cloth. The sliding patio doors are glazed doors which are double draught-proofed and provided with double or triple glazing. They typically have one fixed panel and one sliding panel, although up to four panels can be provided for larger openings.

Please, someone tell me this is not happening.
I'm happy.
I'm sad.
I'm nervous.
I'm stressed to my max
I'm excited.
I am, amongst all of the crazy mixed emotions that have led up to this day. I'm excited. For him. For what he will learn, who he will meet, how much he will grow.
This is a big one. It's a big year in our household.
My son just entered in to the next phase of life. And I don't feel ready for this...at all. I've been grieving so hard the past few weeks. It's weird, really. But I hear it's completely normal, and pretty much never goes away with your first.
And I'm going to be honest, this has NOT been a smooth transition. Nothing about it has been smooth, nothing ideal, nothing as I had ever envisioned. Yet, I feel completely led that this is exactly where God wants our little (big) boy.
I have been fretting over school since...well, practically since giving birth! The moment I met Cole in that delivery room, and held his warm skin next to my face, I wanted the best of everything in the world for him. The mere thought of letting someone else spend more time with him than me, his mama, just wasn't what my heart wanted. The main reason why I quit working and we figured out how to make it work for me to stay home full-time.
And it hasn't always been easy. We have had a lot of kinks and curve-balls during the past 5+ years. But it has been good.....so, so good. I will never have any regrets on that single decision to be a part of my boys' lives 24/7. I don't ever have to wish that I was there for his first word, first steps, first foods....I was able to kiss away every boo-boo and learn to release him as time would allow as he grew older and more independent. I got to witness things that no picture or video could ever replace. And yet, I knew our time would swiftly come to an end.
And it has....more swiftly then I feel my heart can take. They don't lie when they say the days are long but the years are short. Yes. About that.
These have been the shortest years of my life.
And just like much of parenting. The curve balls, unknown and flying the the seat of your pants.....the same rang true for us in deciding what school he should go to.
I thought I would home school, so we prepared a school/playroom. We prayed out about.
Then I knew in my heart of hearts that wasn't what was best, it wasn't our coursse or what Cole needed and he needed more than I could offer him.
So we prayed some more.
A school got put on our radar, it sounded absolutely perfect to me...it took Kyle awhile to warm up to. But in the end it seemed like the best fit. It was part home school/ part public school. A perfect mix of both worlds.
He got the last place in his class. We were thrilled, excited, and felt this was best.
Two weeks before school was to start, we got a phone call.
He was bumped out of his class for some one who last minute applied and was in district.
Cue tears and heart break. And a lot of unknown, again.
More prayers.
Another phone call that there was no room in our first choice boundary exemption. I am freaking out at this point because the public schools were to start in just a few days. All summer I had prepared my heart for only having him away from me 3 half days.....not 5 full days!
Then randomly...I still don't know why. But I started a desperate school search. (we had already done this months and months ago). I happened upon a Christian school that we had previously dismissed because they didn't offer half day kinder....
Suddenly a box popped up on my screen as I went to their website.
"We are now offering half day Kindergarten"
We called, they took us for a tour the next day. For the first time Kyle and I both left, looked at each other and said, "this feels right."
So it's been a mad dash filling out more applications, getting assessments done, making it to orientations, buying a completely different list of school supplies and gearing up for dragging three kids to drop Cole off 5 days a week at what seems like the crack of dawn!
I still cry about it. I was definitely that mom in the front row (thanks Cole) balling my eyes out during orientations months ago....
But with my tears I have peace. I know without a doubt this is where God has led us. He closed some big doors to get us to this point. And I so very excited to watch how this plays out.
Mostly I'm exited to watch where this boy is going to soar to as he opens up his wings.
Cole, your mama could not be any more proud of the young boy you are becoming. I hope you never lose your sensitivity, motivation, and love of building. I pray you fall deeper in love with Jesus and am so thankful you will have the opportunity to grasp an even deeper understanding of who He is as you study His Word. May He grip your heart like none other and may you choose to never let go.
You have some amazing trails to blaze ahead, blaze them wisely and thoughtfully (as I'm sure you will)
Love you with all my heart, to the moon and back, forever and ever. I can't even begin to express how thankful I am to only have to miss your face for a few short hours.....I don't think I could bare much more than that! Because those eyes kind of kill me and make my day, every day.
Now go get em' and may you be stronger than your mother. ;)

|Ex-Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina
Being named one of the nations' worst governors wasn't enough for Sanford, until he decided to use state money and resources and lie to his staff so he could bang some chick from South america. He didn't want to resign, but his term limit was up and his re-election and political career was practically dead anyways. Now with a even worse successor in office, Sanford can now take it easy with a new single life.
Pretty much after leaving office, he was spotted in South America with his as he said "soulmate".

Ikeri, 27, was a businessman and native of Mbaitolu in Imo.
In December 2016, Metropolitan Police in Cape Town had suffocated to death a man, Victor Nnadi, also from Imo.
Mr Bartholomew Eziagulu, Chairman of the union in the province, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Durban on Friday that Ikeri was allegedly tortured to death by the police.
He said the union's investigations revealed that the police arrested the deceased and a friend on suspicion that they were carrying hard drugs.
He said while interrogating him, the police used plastic to cover his face to extort information from him.
" In the process, they suffocated the deceased suffocated. When the police took him to the hospital, he was confirmed dead," he said.
Mr Adetola Olubajo, the Secretary General of the union, said the national secretariat had been informed about the death of the Nigerian.
He said the body had informed appropriate Nigerian authorities and the police in South Africa.
NAN reports that a senior diplomat from the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg had visited Vryheid on a fact-finding mission.
Some members of the union and other Nigerians accompanied the diplomat to the town.
A total 116 Nigerians have been killed in South Africa through extrajudicial means in the last two years, according to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa.
Seven in 10 of the killings were carried out by the South African Police.
The presidential aide disclosed this sometime in February when she met with the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lulu Louis Mnguni in Abuja.

Leonard Cohen's Jukebox
Biggest Influence on My Music – The jukebox. I lived beside jukeboxes all through the fifties. … I never knew who was singing. I never followed things that way. I still don't. I wasn't a student of music; I was a student of the restaurant I was in — and the waitresses. The music was a part of it. I knew what number the song was.
– Leonard Cohen (Yakety Yak by Scott Cohen, 1994)
Leonard Cohen's Jukebox: Over the years, Leonard Cohen has mentioned a number of specific songs he favors. Leonard Cohen's Jukebox is a Cohencentric feature that began collecting these tunes for the edification and entertainment of viewers on April 4, 2009. All posts in the Leonard Cohen's Jukebox series can be found at The Original Leonard Cohen's Jukebox Page.
"[Hallelujah] really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection"
In the case of this song, the evidence of Leonard Cohen's approbation comes from his long-time backup singer and partner, Anjani Thomas:
After hearing KD Lang perform that song at the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2006 we looked at each other and said, "Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection."1

Better Together: Regional Power Pools in Africa are Worth the Challenge
- Posted on October 13, 2015
- 35 views
Despite an abundance of energy resources, electric power systems in Africa have been slow to develop, leaving a large portion of the population in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) without access to electricity. The growing interest in regional power pools across the continent could dramatically alter that trend, overcoming key barriers to investment and improvement in SSA's electricity infrastructure. Regional pooling of demand and supply can reduce total reserve requirements by capitalizing on asynchronous peak demand among participants, create a larger market to justify large-scale projects, and help to shield individual systems from the effects of droughts or volatile fuel prices. Currently, there are four power pools in SSA, all in various stages of development (Figure 1). While there remain significant challenges to implementing these regional systems, there are several reasons why power pools are worth the effort in Africa.
Previous efforts to increase generating capacity have been hindered by a lack of economies of scale and financing for large projects at the national level. A key challenge to providing electricity throughout SSA is that energy resources, though plentiful, are not uniformly distributed in form or location (Figures 2 and 3). The Congo River alone has an estimated potential to produce 1400 TWh per year, equivalent to over three times the annual consumption in all of SSA in 2010 [2, 3]. Meanwhile, abundant coal resources are concentrated in the south while most of the natural gas and oil reserves are found in West and North Africa. Regional trade could enable resource sharing among countries, allowing resource-rich countries to export power to countries with limited resources and greater diversity in the fuels used to electricity generation. Developing these resources will require substantial capital investments, on the order of $27 billion per year [4], and sufficient consumer demand to guarantee investors can recover their costs through revenues. However, in over half of SSA countries, national demand is less than the size of a typical utility-scale power plant. By pooling demand across multiple countries, regional power pools provide a larger consumer base in which to sell power, making projects that would be oversized and risky for a single country economically feasible for a regional market.

Plenty Of Fish In The Sea?|
That's what your friends say when your love life has recently been nothing but crap, or you've decided to move on from Mr. or Ms. Not-Quite-Wonderful.
Sound familiar? (And I'm not being smug married gal here; believe me, we've all been there. Lots.)
Try this. The Loose Fish party, this Saturday night at the Supreme Court cafe and nightclub at the Adam's Mark hotel. Now in it's fifth year, organizers insist that everyone attending bring a friend (NOT a date) of the opposite sex. This friend cannot be one who has attended before. Obviously, it's preferable to bring a single friend, but married couples with cool and available pals are encourage to join the fun. The idea is to make a huge, wide, deep sea of available fish.
For your $10 minimun donation (which goes to benefit The Gathering Place) you'll get access to the appetizer bar, your first drink free, and $2 drafts and $2.50 wells and house wines until 10 p.m. After 9 p.m. the live rock band kicks in with dancing tunes, and you can get $2 parking with validation from the bash. Sound good? Head down Saturday night after 7 p.m.
Just don't forget the bait.

Costume Reference Library for Bounty Hunters
Custom Bounty Hunter is a more free-form costume area of the club, but there will be guidelines to assure creative quality costumes are what represents The Dark Empire. Most Bounty Hunters wear a good amount of various armor types. Those are covered in the Universal Armor Guidelines, but some will wear lighter or concealed armors. We do not accept Mandalorian Bounty hunters as direct TDE members with their Beskar, and we avoid the use of components of Mandalorian armor.
Attire Guidelines
Examples of this type of costume range from Dengar, to Cad Bane to Bossk, and even droids such as IG-88 and 4-LOM. There are also appearances within video games including, but not limited to Star Wars Galaxies and Star Wars the Old Republic. We strongly recommend that you look through images of canon Bounty Hunter characters as well as the non-Mandalorian armor types found in Star Wars Galaxies (R.I.S., Composite Armor, "Bounty Hunter", Ubese, etc) and Star Wars The Old Republic (nothing with the Mandalorian chest format and t-visor), and other Star Wars publications. Short of sticking CLOSE to an already seen acceptible bounty hunter image we cannot recommend loudly enough that a Work In Progress thread be used if you do one of these costumes. We do not want you wasting time and money on a costume idea that will not pass. We will accept both store bought and hand made elements of clothing, though all branding must be hidden or removed. Any armor styles from other film, TV, or other genres will need to be modified in such a way as to have them fith the Star Wars universe in the view of our costume judges.
Most will need to be wearing boots. Most of these boots will require not having a laces. Can you use laces? POSSIBLY, but most of them we will say no to, so in the interest of your time and effort if you see laced boots you think will work, get a picture to the costume judges and we will let you know. Note: it may also be a yes/no based on the rest of the costume and it's cohesiveness and overall quality.
Blasters and other gear will need to pass the overall weapons and props guidelines.
Droid Bounty Hunters will have to follow, within reason the build of the droid chassis they are using. For example 4-LOM types MAY have an altered limb, but an IG-88 style build will be impossible on a human form. This may be outlined in a droid guide as yet to be published by The Dark Empire.
Avoid the use of components of Mandalorian Armor. For more information on what we do take for armor, please refer to the Armor Guidelines.
All costume elements but are subject to review of the quality and fit of the overall costume as well as on a component by component basis.
IF you feel your costume has met these requirements, Check out our Application Tutorial…

Listening to Children on the Spiritual Journey
How can we nurture the faith of the children whom God has entrusted into our care at Immanuel? On the first two Wednesday nights in August, we will consider how the entire congregation is called to partner with our young families to plant and cultivate seeds of faith in the lives of our children. In order to thrive spiritually, children need to form deep connections with others within an intergenerational community of faith. In their book Listening to Children on the Spiritual Journey, Catherine Stonehouse and Scottie May write, "Children and adults are copligrims sharing a journey and learning from each other." The children of Immanuel need us to model discipleship for them and walk alongside them on their spiritual journeys. I hope you will join me in Fellowship at 6:15 on August 6 and 13 and we explore how we can navigate this journey together. - Pastor Tambi

I've never really been one to use the 'on fleek' phrase, but if there were ever a moment to use it, I feel like this month so far, would be the time to use it. The weather we've had so far in November feels unprecedented to me. Seventy degrees everyday makes me so happy. Everyone has been talking about how annoyed they are because it's not fall temperatures lately and they want it to be cold. I say EFF THAT. I want it to be this degree + every single day.
How has the weather been where you are? Tweet me and let me know!

Book-It, Louise May Alcott, Kit Bakke
"Who has read 'Little Women?"
Nearly all of the approximately 100 people (of all ages and both genders) at the Microsoft Auditorium of the Seattle Central Public Library (designed by Rem Koolhaas/ OMA raised a hand.
We were gathered for an evening hosted by SPL about Louise May Alcott presented by Jane Jones, founder and co-director, and Alison Narver, artistic director of Book-It, and Kit Bakke, author of Ms. Alcott's E-mail.
Book-It is a Seattle based organization which —in her 16th season— brings world literature to the stage. At the library event, Rhonda J. Soikowski, as Jo March, and Colin Byrne as Laurie Laurence, gave us a taste of what's to be expected at Seattle Center Stage in December.
Alison Narver spoke passionately about the making of the stage modification, remembering her mother Betty Jane Narver reading from the book.
My mind drifted for a moment when I realized how, as as child, I had identified most with Amy the artist, who by American readers was considered the least sympathetic of the four March sisters. Relieved I heard Allison say that Book-It shows Amy as a morlikeablele creature.
Rhonda J. Soikowski as Jo March, and Colin Byrne as Laurie Laurence, gave us a little taste of what we may expect at the Seattle Center Stage Theatre in December.
Kit Bakke [bakkie], spoke about the life of Ms. Alcott, and not about her own book, "Miss Alcott's E-mail which is being published by David Godine and will come out in June 2006. She showed some of her research material on the projection screen, among which a map of the estate where Alcott grew up, pictures of and anecdotes about her father, grandmother and the neighbors, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne and H.D.Thoreaux. I was quite surprised to learn that Ms. Alcott had published a lot of material about touchy subjects under the pseudonym of A.M. Barnard. Of her publishers she said the were terrible for wanting her to make Little Women Good Wives.

The Chestnut Hill Historical society has a new name. At the preservation organization's Annual Meeting on Jan. 8, the Chestnut Hill Historical Society announced the change of its name to the Chestnut Hill Conservancy.
"This change follows 50 years of work, and quite a bit of discussion by the Board on the name," said board chair Randy Williams. "For the next 50 years, the Conservancy is poised to protect Chestnut Hill's charm and historic character as inevitable growth and development is proposed."
Williams said that the name change announcement is the first of many things the organization has planned for 2017 – it's 50th year. The name change, the board feels, better reflects the organization's work in Chestnut Hill and surrounding communities around preservation and conservation.
"We created this organization in 1967 to protect and celebrate the treasures that define Chestnut Hill," said current board member and original co-founder Shirley Hanson. "I reflect on its work over the last 50 years with great pride and gratitude, and am delighted that the Chestnut Hill Conservancy now carries a name that represents it truly broad mission."
In a release announcing the name change, the organization said its three core goals remain the same:
"To preserve Chestnut Hill architecture and balance beneficial development with protection of significant resources; to maintain the Chestnut Hill and Wissahickon Archives and provide for the discovery and care of community heritage; and to conserve land, protect the Wissahickon watershed, and maintain the area's uniquely green character as the nation's first urban accredited land trust."
"During its 50-year history, the Chestnut Hill Conservancy and Historical Society has protected over 100 acres of open space and dozens of buildings, placed over 10,000 archival images online, and welcomed thousands of participants in our many tours, lectures, and other events that celebrate the community's treasures," said Executive Director Lori Salganicoff in a statement. "The name change highlights the organization's unique approach to this work through the consistent integration of land conservation and architecture preservation advocacy, and the maintenance of the area's archives."
For the time being, the organization will continue to use the name "Chestnut Hill Conservancy and Historical Society" to, as it said in a release, "underscore the organization's continued dedication to all of its core goals of preserving architecture, conserving open space, and maintaining the Chestnut Hill and Wissahickon Archives."

Girardi takes blame, 'feels horrible' for Yanks' Game 2 loss
- by Fredrick Graves
- in Sport
- — Oct 9, 2017
It was so out of character the Indians trolled on the Yankees on their Twitter account for not spending the money that Cleveland did.
The Yankees dropped behind the Indians 2-0 in the American League Division Series last night, and the brunt of the 13-inning, 9-8 loss is falling on manager Joe Girardi's shoulders - for good reason.
The news on Saturday regarding Edwin Encarnación's ankle wasn't as gruesome as the video appeared to be from Friday night. Gary Sanchez, Aaron Hicks and Greg Bird all homered, while the old guard, CC Sabathia, was turning in an Andy Pettitte-like Game 2 performance. Their goal right now is to win one game, Game 3.
Yan Gomes was the player mobbed by his teammates between first and second base, and deservedly so.
"So we're going to have to, one, you gauge how a guy is throwing". "No words, honestly. I'm speechless".
It's the postseason debut for Carrasco, who is coming off his first 200-inning season and ranks among the AL's top five in WHIP (1.10), strikeouts (230) and FanGraphs WAR (5.5) this season. "We'll let them do their stuff tomorrow and then we'll kind of see where he's at", the skipper added. Josh Tomlin picked up the win with two innings of scoreless relief.
Encarnacion hit 30 home runs and had 107 RBIs in his first season with Cleveland this year.
The Yankees lost consecutive games for the first time since they were swept at home in a three-game series by the Indians from August 28-30.
"Three hits is not going to do it", third baseman Todd Frazier.
Now, who starts Game 4 if the Yankees use Severino in relief in Game 3? In 19 2/3 innings against NY, he has allowed two runs and 13 hits with 19 strikeouts.
Girardi really screwed up. He said the team later saw a slow-motion replay suggesting he should've contested the call, but it was too late.
Girardi has been heavily criticized for his mistake ever since, and he didn't even admit that he goofed until his interview during Saturday's off day. It's a hard day for me. "He stood there. But it's just stuff that happens in the game". This could have allowed the Yankees to keep its lead intact instead of the Indians scoring four runs on Lindor's grand slam. Like I said, he'd be on normal rest, so that's not a problem. "Then after a couple of steps, I was like, 'No, don't go foul, please". That's just who I am. "Just go over there and play good baseball".
With the Yankees leading 8-3, the initial ruling was that Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall was hit by a pitch with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Five innings later, the Indians finally broke the tie. He lost to them, 8-1, in Cleveland on August 6. Trevor Bauer did his job in the series opener October 5, and though Corey Kluber got shelled in Game 2, the bullpen and bats still saved the day. "He had a pretty good resume behind him". The DH's right ankle rolled awkwardly as he attempted to get back and he crumpled to the ground. Unable to stand he waited for medical assistance before being helped off the field.
Girardi said that nothing indicated that the call of a hit-by-pitch was not the correct call.
Michael Brantley is expected to be the designated hitter in Encarnacion's place Sunday.

Taking it back to the old school...
Dotted around Berlin you'll find a string of working vintage analog photo booths. These booths, known as the Berlin Photoautomats have become a symbol of this eccentric and urban city. The Photoautomats are the real deal: having originally been in use in the fifties and sixties, they have been restored and maintained as part of a project that started in 2004.
There is a real, urban and gritty feel to these reinvigorated booths that make them a natural fit for a youthful and creative city such as Berlin. The rich history of the city is reflected in the retro appearance of the Photoautomats and you'll even find one located opposite Checkpoint Charlie.
To experience the fun and nostalgia of an authentic, old school Photoautomat, all you need to do is jump in with some friends, slot in €2 and the 60 year old booth will come back to life, presenting you with a beautiful black and white strip photograph - the perfect souvenir to take home from this vibrant city.
Not only do the Photoautomats capture precious moments, they're also an inspiration for Berlin based photographers. Andrea Padoan uses the cultural significance of Berlin as the inspiration for his photography and has featured the bold design of the Photoautomat as a subject, showing how these photo booths have become an intrinsic part of the identity of this city.
The Photoautomats of Berlin have inspired The Flash Pack in creating the very best photo experiences. When it came down to designing our hugely popular enclosed Retro Booth, the Photoautomat was a source of inspiration. The Flash Pack created a handmade and bespoke designed booth that recreated the magic of the authentic Photoautomat but with some new, high tech features such as social sharing. Perhaps one of our most popular booths, the Retro Booth allows you to experiences the cool lifestyle of Berlin but with a polished finish that you can share with your online friends.
You can read why the influential style blogger, Callie Thorpe picked the Retro Booth for her wedding here or find out more about our Retro Booths here.

Scientology: "She is a criminal!"
I guess OSA (Office of Special Affairs = the Gestapo equivalent in Scientology) and other Scientologists felt some urges to trash me after it was known that I had started a relationship with Geir Isene, the only person in Norway who has reached the highest spiritual level (OT 8) in Scientology, and later left the church. I can thank Geir and his blog for being alive today. And I guess my teaser post, revealing some of the … Continue reading

To Taylor: the tweaker I fell in love with.
by Anonymous-Writer • March 15, 2017 • * Safe for Work *, Addiction • 0 Comments
I'm not going to ask why you keep doing it.
It has it's hold on you.
You've already lost most of the things you hold dearest. Your children, your independence, your dignity. So when you tell me that you want to die, I can see why.
You must feel completely hopeless. So why not just keep using until it takes you from this life? Is that your mindset?
Yet, it's very much possible for you to get the important things back. Your children, your independence, your dignity,…your life. You! You can be YOU again! So why not try?
You have Ron your dad, Brenda, and your brother Ethan. They love you without question. And you have me. I love you without question as well. All of us want to see you be you. We want to see you loving life, with your children. See you as an independent woman who has her dignity back.
Try Taylor! Stay away from that garbage that is causing you to erode. You are not too far gone! You made a leap when you left Oklahoma. When you left that monster who abused and controlled you. He controlled you by feeding you that drug. That's what caused you to keep returning to him. It wasn't love. It was the addiction he was feeding. Anyone who truly loves someone would never feed that fire. They'd try and help their beloved put it out instead.
I love you. Your family loves you. We want you around. I don't want to say goodbye to you, not until the day I die and hopefully at a ripe old age.
Please let us help you help yourself.
Love and snakes.
P.S. Don't ever be afraid or feel ashamed to talk to me.

The Prompt: Retrospectively Funny–Tell us about a situation that was not funny at all while it was happening, but that you now laugh about whenever you remember it.
That Sinking Feeling
Because my father was both the youngest in his family by quite a few years and also waited until he was older to get married, and because I was the youngest in my family, it meant that I had no cousins my own age.
My mother's nieces and nephews were eleven to twenty years older than me and lived a day's drive away, so although I heard about them and saw pictures, I only actually met them a few times during my at-home years and even their children were not my age, but quite a bit younger. In addition, although we lived in the same town as one of my dad's sisters, her children were even older than my eleven-years-older sister, so again, no cousins my age. My dad's oldest sister had seven sons, but all were closer to my parents' age than to mine and although there were rumors of their kids, my second cousins, being close to my age, they lived far away in Idaho–a three days journey or more on the two lane roads of the fifties.
As friend after friend had cousins come to visit in the summer or had them close at hand to make family holidays and dinners interesting, I, alas had none. But one summer I hit pay dirt when for some reason or other, six of my Aunt Margaret's seven sons all traveled through South Dakota at one time or other during the summer and all of them had kids–MY AGE!!! I was in heaven. Add to that the fact that most of those kids were boys and I was just at the age where I had started to be interested in boys, and you can imagine what a good summer indeed it was for me.
My mother handled the situation of having so much company in one three month period by having a set menu that she served each time–baked ham, potato salad, baked beans and cherry pie. Our laden cherry trees in the back yard furnished adequate cherries for pies for an army and for those early visitors who got there before the cherries were ripe, there were still pies in our freezer frozen the summer before. My mom had it covered!
One of our first families to visit was my cousin who had been a Quaker missionary in Kenya. Chills ran up our necks as he told about the Mau Mau uprisings and how he and his family had just happened to be gone the day they came and raided the mission to come kill them. These kind of stories had never before been heard in my family, and we were all both rapt and perhaps a bit grateful for our boring lives in a very small isolated town in South Dakota.
Then came the visit of my cousin Pam, who sent me a little doll to add to my collection, complete with outfits. Another family consisted of three boys who later sent me stamps to start a collection. A younger girl cousin, asked to spend the night, grew weepy towards midnight as my friend Rita and I were trying to show her how fun it was to stay up all night. My folks ended up having to call her folks at the motel to come get her. What a baby!
The best visitor of all, however, was my cousin Buddy. He was just my age and when we rode down the street on bikes–me on mine and he on my older sister's–I imagined that people might think I had a new boyfriend. He showed me his coin collection, which traveled with him, and even gave me some coin protectors for the silver dollars my dad had given me. My friend Rita flirted with him, but he was even more innocent than we were and I think he didn't quite understand. Nonetheless, I was interested in impressing Buddy and was on my best behavior.
It seemed to be working until a little incident in the kitchen when he politely asked if I could tell him where the lavatory was. Now I had only heard this term applied to a sink and so I blithely said, "Oh, just use the kitchen sink!" His look of astonishment should have told me that something was wrong, but it never occurred to me that he was asking for the bathroom. In short, a place to pee!
I can't remember how this issue was resolved. I am sure he didn't pee in the kitchen sink and that he was somehow routed to the correct facility by another member of the family. The fact that I remember his shocked face to this day indicates to me that perhaps this is one of those most embarrassing events that somehow over the years has transitioned into a funny story–and the fact that I'm telling you proves it!
A few years ago, I found an email from one of my cousins (whom I hadn't seen since I was 11) when I for some reason checked out at an old email address I hadn't used in years. In it, he identified himself as the baby being held in the arms of my grandfather in a biographical book of poetry I had written about growing up in South Dakota. He had somehow found a copy of the book and found my email address in the book! This started a correspondence with the result that both of my sisters and I attended a family reunion of his family in Idaho. Below is a picture of some of the cousins and second cousins (from that summer of the cousins) I reconnected with at that reunion, which was attended by hundreds of their children, grandchildren, great and great-great grandchildren! Finally, I had as many cousins as a girl could ever want!
If you haven't heard of Wall Drug, you probably have never been to South Dakota. Signs for one of the world's oldest and best known tourist traps are spread out across the state and surrounding states as well as such far-flung locations as Antarctica, Afghanistan and Italy. For me, it was an exciting stop along the only vacation route taken by my family for most of my young life, for Wall was stationed smack dab on Highway 16 between my even smaller town of Murdo, South Dakota and the Black Hills, where our summer vacation usually consisted of an overnight stay in "The Deer Huts" after taking one of my older sisters to the Methodist Youth Camp a few miles away.
The excitement of the Deer Huts consisted mainly of the fact that the bathrooms were all outside–little wooden enclosures marked by a half moon that my mother hated and I adored. I loved the nighttime trip up the hill with a flashlight and the strangely reassuring sound of what had once been a part of my body making its dark descent down the long vertical tunnel–as though it was having an adventure of its own. I loved the threat of animals watching me in the dark as I made my way back to the log cabin. It was about as exotic as my life ever got before I finally left home for college at age eighteen and life really began. But I digress, for the true adventure that wound up at the Deer Huts always began when we got to the badlands–a series of sandstone hills and gullies that furnished the background for many a cowboy movie of the fifties. Then, shortly after the badlands, came Wall Drug!.
You can read the full story of Wall Drug HERE. If you are pressed for time, however, I will give you the shortened version. The whole phenomena of a drugstore in a small town of under 300 on a godforsaken prairie in the middle of nowhere started in 1931 with a suggestion by the wife of the owner that they put up signs offering free water. From there, the promotions grew into singing automated cowboy orchestras, stuffed longhorn cattle, a life-sized dinosaur, chapels, souvenir shops, other automated scenes, a restaurant offering such South Dakota fare as hot beef sandwiches complete with mashed potatoes and white bread swimming in brown gravy, homemade rolls, cherry pie and 5 cent cups of coffee with free coffee and donuts offered to soldiers, ministers, and truck drivers.
I have pictures of me at age eight and age sixty-six, standing by a huge stuffed longhorn steer, bravely touching the horn. The last picture was taken as my childhood friend Rita and I took our last long nostalgic trip across South Dakota. In the Wall Drug Cafe, we shared a hot beef sandwich, a cinnamon roll and a piece of cherry pie for old time's sake, put a quarter in the slots to see the singing cowboys creak into action, still in tune after almost sixty years.
In this more sophisticated age, folks still stop at Wall Drug. It's possible their teenagers remain in the car, texting their friends or playing computer games with the air conditioning cranked up to dispel the scorching South Dakota summer sun, but I bet the little kids as well as the bigger kids who are their folks or grandfolks still wander the block-square expanses of Wall Drug, looking for thrills from another age and time. And somewhere within its cluster of rooms and passageways, Grandma can still buy an aspirin or get a prescription filled, then get a free glass of water to swallow it down with, Grandpa can still get a five cent cup of coffee and a little kid can taste his first delicious mouthful of South Dakota Black Angus beef, swimming in gravy and surrounded by reassuring slices of Sunbeam white bread and mashed potatoes.
