And good morning from the Black Hills of South Dakota!

After getting back in state from Washington DC this past week, I got to spend yesterday driving across I-90 to Sturgis, where I’ll be based all week for a work conference for my day job.

Not much to report on politically from the drive, coming just under a year before the primary election. Although, someone along I-90 near New Underwood still has a massive sign with 2 4×8’s declaring their continuing support for Kristi Noem for Governor. (And that’s ok. Lots of us support Governor Noem!)

By this time next summer, primary elections will be over, and we’ll know if Democrats have been able to scratch up any candidates.

(Right now, it’s not looking good.)
