Sept 15 thru 17

Sept 15 We are on the road today heading to Grand Forks, ND. It is a really cold and raining which we aren't accustomed to having. This will be a night that we will watch TV and listen to the rain.
Sept 16 Another wet and cold winter day. We stayed home and caught up on the Computer. One of our stops is Glacier National Park we are hoping we didn't plan seeing it to late in the year. They say it could snow up in the northern Rockies.
This evening we went out to dinner and the stock car races. Our plans for the races were canceled because lighting had blown out the power in a 30 block area where the races were being held. When we got home the TV said they had a tornado alert until 1:00 AM. Sharon was real nervous when they kept showing our County in the storm center alert. She had seen a couple of them go over her house in South Dakota years ago. Sharon said she was going to stay awake until the alert was over but when Kent woke up at 12:30 AM she was sound asleep. The thunder and lighting was severe and we used our battery radio for news coverage until the alert was over.
Sept 17 Today we went to Grizzlies Pub they had a football feed. All the hot dogs you can eat for $5.00. Brats are one of Kents' favorite meals, so we watched football and ate lots of Brats.
The table next to us said we should go see the Ralph Engelstad Ice Arena. It is one of the finest hockey fields in the world. The floors are imported Marble and is 400,000 sq ft. It has 5 stories and will seat 11,406 people. It was closed when we were there, darn!
