My little Lewis and Clark expedition hit a sandbar yesterday on the road between Sioux Falls, SD, and Fargo Moorhead. No doubt on the expedition, the blacksmith John Shields would have fixed this up right away. Or perhaps it would have been Lewis himself, with his extensive knowledge of science and medicine. I ended up two hours late to rehearsal--never travel on a rehearsal day!

This lends new meaning to the lyric in CORPS OF DISCOVERY--"Rowing towing we keep going up the wild Missouri."
