Roadside America’s site of the week this week is the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. And I have my very own personal picture of the joint! And if I knew where said picture was, I’d scan it and share it with the class. *g*
Or you could go to Rothsay, Minnesota and take a look-see at the World’s Largest Prairie Chicken. And not just any ol’ prairie chicken. Nosiree Bob! A booming prairie chicken! While you’re in the area, zip over to Pelican Rapids, Minnesota and snap some pics of the World’s Largest Pelican. Though you have to wonder just how many live pelicans they have Minnesota… I always thought pelicans were a Gulf Coast bird.
On this date in 1945, a U.S. Army B-25 bomber got lost in the fog and crashed into the Empire State Building. The accident killed 13 people. You can also read about it at the Empire State Building’s own website.
Tonight on TV, we have Ruby and the Rockits and Warehouse 13.
Wrote half a page last night. Gotta ease back into the story to tie it all up in a pretty ribbon. And get rid of the killer. All while trying to fend off the new heroine Who. Won’t. Shut. Up.
Reading: Last night I read a book by a new-to-me author, Ill Wind by Rachel Caine. It’s the first book in her Weather Wardens series. Given I read the whole thing last night, that should tell you I enjoyed it. 
A Prairie chicken? Oh, boy! *G* Thanks for the reminder on Ruby and the Rockites.
I’ve wondered about the Rachel Caine series. Maybe I’ll give them a whirl.
WTG on the half a page! Hope the heroine gives you a little time to wrap up your book! *G*
Have a great day!

I love the Weather Warden series… I bet you do, too. In fact, I’m thinking I might give it a second read through.

Hey Tori,
I have an idea. I’ll kill the killer
and you take notes from the heroine 
! Sound like a plan?
