Bob, in response to your question. We are dry and just live a couple blocks North of one of the areas that really get wet. The city spent 40 million dollars a few years ago to eliminate this ever happening again, but something didn't work.

On another note Karen and I had an interesting three days in Minneapolis. I have always wanted to attend a National Organization of Sports Officials annual meeting. This year it was in Minneapolis so I signed up. Went thru Rochester on the way up as Tafney had tests during the week which all turned out to be negative. We had a early dinner with her and proceeded to the site of the meeting. Sunday evening was mostly social and started early on Monday. Karen spent the day in the shopping area and we did a scheduled social on Monday evening. Karen planned on going to the Mall of America on Tues and I went to my sessions. About 10:00 I get notice that Karen needs to see me. This couldn't be good news and it wasn't. Seems she was waiting for the light rail and some fleet footed young man took her back pack off her shoulder. She made the police report and come an got me. We did an inventory of her contents and decided we should alert the parking area of the theft and that there was a set of car keys involved. Alerted the Bank and put out a fraud alert. Karen went about the downtown area and I went back to my sessions. Had a nice banquet Tues night and prepared to ck out Wed AM. We needed to get back to SxFls for a friends funeral. I went to put bags in the car on Wed AM and it was gone. Seems the two individual had taken it as we were putting out the alerts. Called a friend in SxFls that has a VW/Audi dealership and he aranged a car to get us back. Got back in time to find out what we needed to get a drivers license and other cleanup items. I got the 1974 VW Bug out of storage and waited. Just got a call at 4:30 today that the car had been found and was in the City impound area. I am not sure how we get it back. The insurance adjuster had idicated that if it was found they would transport it backi to Sioux Falls. We are pleased because it is a very nice vehicle and expense to replace.

All is well at this time.
