State Oral Interp is done for another year. I some of South Dakota's smartest, gutsiest high school students perform William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" (Bryan knew trickle-down economics was bunk in 1896), Karel Čapek's R.U.R., and Jake Barton's "I Dreamed I Was a Video Game" (Asteroids as a metaphor for life—I totally get that). Fine work, kids.
I also had time to get down to the Meridian Bridge... twice! The first trip was a morning run at 6 a.m.—not the best time for pictures. I returned during lunch today, when it was a little brighter and warmer:
And then this evening, I found Charlie's Pizza (tonight's pick: the Hepburn!) made just a bit more awesome by discovering that the Griswolds have moved in next door.
Ah, Yankton. Always a good time.
William Jennings Bryan also knew evolution was bunk in 1896. You take the good with the bad.
Wish I had known you were in town. Would have met you for supper.
Shane! Next time! :-)
R: indeed! But there Bryan was in 1896, rejecting trickle-down economics in language that makes perfect sense 106 years later.
Your posting referencing "Cross of Gold' brought back memories of traveling around southeast South Dakota with Virgil Petrik (before his days at MMC), Jim Wilcox (of Yankton College), and others...
Thanks
You're welcome! And Virgil Petrik? Holy cow: didn't he coach Bryan on Cross of Gold? :-)
