It's not something that you want to think about, but all of our pets will die. Someday. We had a beloved cat pass recently. After the crying and comforting, I realized there are some practical things that need to be taken care of. Specifically, the question I have had was, what to do with the pet's body? It doesn't seem like something you'd put in the garbage. Not only does it feel disrespectful to a member of the family, but it also seems like something we shouldn't be putting in the trash cans.

I suppose the unofficial food of South Dakota is beef, with a side of beef. Steaks, hamburgers, chislic, most any beef-centric dishes are easy to find in the state. But some good BBQ? That takes a little more effort to find. Though, I will say that over the last decade or so, the BBQ scene in SD has improved. When I moved here in the mid-oughts, a good BBQ pit was harder to find.

Living in town my whole life in it's easy to forget how dark it can get at night. The streetlights, buildings, cars, and other aspects of city life can really drown out the night sky. I've always heard about light pollution, but until I drove across South Dakota on I-90 a few years ago, I didn't really get what that means. Light pollution is all the man-made lights shining at night drowning out the light from the stars. MORE: Does South Dakota Have Volcanoes?

Sioux Falls is a special place. We are surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. It's a hotspot for growth and history. And it has been that way for decades. 45 years ago this May (2024) Sioux Falls was again part of history. On May 23, 1979, Randy Rohl and Grady Quinn became the first openly gay couple in the United States to attend prom together. In early May 1979, Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls approved a request from a male senior to bring another man as his date to that year's prom.
