CLC 2018 #3: I get belted
It’s Easter Sunday and April Fool’s Day and it’s 35F degrees at about 3:00pm. Time for a bike ride.

Today I will take a 10-mile ride to get to a place about 2 blocks from home. I hope the place is open. The grocery store is closed today (Easter); it’s usually open from 9 to 5 on Sundays. Both Main Street bars are closed; at least one of these is open on Sunday after noon. The coffee shop (The Homestead) is closed; they are never open on Sunday. I don’t think any of the stores on Main Street are open on any Sunday.

My belt broke on Saturday. It was a cheap belt and I was surprised it last as long as it did. So, I need a replacement before going to work Monday morning. Yeah, I could drive to Wal-Mart in Sioux Falls or in Mitchell, but it’s the CLC season. I want to see if I can find a replacement in a small town in South Dakota on an Easter Sunday. So, after a 10-mile ride outside of town, I find myself here:

Here’s the view to the north, from the spot I took the picture above:

And, my contribution to the local economy:

Gregg dear,
Money well spent. Very nice-looking belt.
Dollar stores have been spreading like wildfire throughout the country. That says a lot about the state of the things for those of us who aren’t millionaires. And they’re showing up in Silicon Valley too. Or Dollar Tree, anyway, just down the road a ways from me.
Onward,

PS: I suppose your office will be glad you did this ride so your pants stay up?
Monday update Yr Goddess: Belt installed and secured. No mooning—on purpose or accidentally—of coworkers occurred.
