Kermit Staggers and De Knudson want back on the Sioux Falls City Council??<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"staggers\"\"de\"\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m beggin\u2019 you (and you know who you are) get in this race before it\u2019s too late. If you have a lick of intelligence, an unselfish desire to serve this community and share your ideas on how to help it deal with problems and plan for the future\u2026.run, for god\u2019s sake..RUN. Sure you\u2019ll take some heat from the naysayers but your honesty and determination to simply do what\u2019s right will sustain you. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If these two career politicians are the best Sioux Falls can come up with..well..we might just as well shove the city bus in reverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And no..I\u2019m not interested or remotely qualified but there are plenty of you out there who are.<\/p>\n

Here endeth the rant.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Linda and I have had a special house guest this past week\u2026say hello to Maggie.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"maggie\"<\/p>\n

Maggie lives with my brother, Denny and his wife, Judy. They were talking the other night about kenneling the dog for five days while they\u2019re in Chicago. Much to my surprise, Linda blurted out that we\u2019d love to watch her. We\u2019ve doggie-sat in the past for both our daughter and niece; finding it to be an enjoyable experience but not enough to convince Linda that we should have a dog of our own. Now, it would seem, through this gesture, she might be on the verge of reconsidering. And why not? Maggie, a mild mannered 8 year old Cocker Spaniel, is a perfect house dog whose only flaw might be her breath that, at times, would drive a buzzard off a fresh kill. We only notice because she loves to sit quietly snuggled next to us on the couch or bed and really appreciates our efforts at affection. Scratching her chin or one of those floppy ears instinctively sets her left paw to peddling the air like she\u2019s trying to start an imaginary Harley Davidson. Oh, she snores too but then so do we.<\/p>\n

Linda is perfectly correct, of course, when she reminds me that we\u2019re often gone for long stretches at a time throughout the year and if we were to have a our own dog, it wouldn\u2019t be fair to be leaving it at a kennel or with friends or family all the time. So, maybe we\u2019ll just have to be content with these occasional stints as proprietors of the Lund Canine Hotel.<\/p>\n

Maggie checks out Sunday. Bye bye you wonderful mutt..don\u2019t forget to brush and floss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
