We South Dakotans may have to put up with pesky disease carrying mosquitoes and those annoyingly noisy cicadas that screech from the treetops each summer. We may have to live in constant fear that a deer or raccoon will decide to end it all by scampering out onto the road directly front of our car.But…
Alzheimers has claimed another victim..an old friend and fellow broadcaster, Ken Hirsch. This awful disease started attacking Ken’s brain several years ago stealing away the Ken we all knew..little by little until he no longer knew us. My first exposure to Ken Hirsch was watching him doing sports and weather on the brand new…
When he was the popular Keloland weatherman, Dave Dedrick could get by with saying a lot of things on the air that no one else could… then or now. I loved it when he would say stuff like, “It’s going to get cold tonight.” Then Hemmingsen, Burt and me would all respond off camera in…
Hillary stopped by the other day. She showed up fashionably late for a rally at a Phoenix high school talking about health care and the need for America to start setting goals again. That disappointed many in the crowd of 10 thousand who wanted some answers on the mortgage crisis which is blamed for about…
Wednesday: Lincoln, Nebraska to Kearny, Nebraska..our first day out. 13 degrees, snow, 40 mile an hour wind..near blizzard conditions at times but we press on. Thursday: Sterling, Colorado. Six below zero. It’s coldest weather I’ve experienced in years. Car groans to a reluctant start in motel parking lot. (Thought I’d write something for the blog…
CAN’T WAIT TO TRY OUT MY NEW "TREE" WOOD ON VACATION. YEAH, THAT’S ME WITH A BUTT FULL OF PINE NEEDLES.Just in the nick of time, the Lund’s (without a new dog) are scootin’ Southwest for our own little exodus to the Arizona desert. Linda has been packing and repacking for several days now…
“Honey, what would you say about us getting a dog?” “I’d say you need to open the garage door if you’re going to run the motorcycle in the wintertime.The fumes seem to have affected your thinking.""No, come on, I’m serious. Now that we’re retired and home a lot, wouldn’t it be kind of fun to have…
My brother, Denny, and I look an awful lot alike. But that’s pretty much where the similarity ends. He’s always looked for the opportunities and challenges of life. I’ve always been reluctant to take risks. When I started being recognized from television, people would often mistake him for me..which, I would imagine, became rather annoying.…
"I, Angelique,Take you, Michael,To be my husbandTo have and to hold,From this day forward,For better, for worse,For richer, for poorer,In sickness and in health,To love and to cherish,’Till death do us part." Linda and I were among those sitting in church that day, in 1994, when her niece, Angie, said those words as…
I was always amazed at which stories would get the greatest response from Keloland viewers. I once did a Lund at Large about the little things in life that drive me crazy. One of those frustrations was trying to separate a single filter from the stack of filters so I could brew up my morning pot…
