  1. Young Mr. Maher may look like he’s sleeping at times, but he is just conserving his energy so he can pounce.

  2. Exactly…Wal Mart and other centrally located box stores have killed commerce in small town eastern South Dakota.

  3. Maher was outstanding when he was a democrat. He was Ok as a republican except when he kept following Senator Schoenbeck over the cliff time after time. Always all the best to you Ryan!
