SD smoking reg revved

I heard yesterday that the challenge to SD's smoke-free bar law was tossed out. Here are links to two stories about it:

It could change things a lot. Don't hold your breath.

slideshow too fast?

I cheat some when looking at the youtube slideshow, and thought you might like to as well. You may already know how, but here it is in case.

Once the video starts to load, click to pause it. Then, on the red bar below the pictures, click and drag the circle that marks your progress through the video. If you drag it slowly one way or the other, it will allow you to look at individual pictures. Of course, you lose the sound that way.

Hope this is helpful.

Concept from another page

Testing: two one

I set up the google group site, and sent out invitations last night (four other members last time I looked). One classmate posted concerns regarding the viability of a class scholarship and wondering if we might better purchase and place something like a bench.

Hopefully, discussion will continue on that site, but I wanted you to know that it is in the air. Pursuing it both places might be logistically challenging.

If you want to post

I think I have found a way for any of you to post a message at any time and not just write a comment. In order to do that, I need your email address. If you want to be added as an author, one who can post at any time, just email me and I will add your name to the list.

Should we remove this blog?

Received this email the other day:

"I poked around some in GOOGLE, and believe that setting up a "group" may be a more satisfactory approach. It will let all members contribute and post files. It requires setting up a google account, with the obligatory acceptance of "terms of service" and "privacy policy".I went through the steps to do this, creating a group named "BSHS 69", and limited access to those I invite. My intention is to invite only classmates."

When this new site is up and running, it would seem that this present blog would be unnecessary. The only way that most of you can contribute is through the comments. This new site will allow anyone to post items at any time. Sounds like a much better site to me. Any thoughts on the matter? I will not be offended if you want to drop this blog.

News?

The update seems to be working. Thanks to all who are keeping track of this feeble attempt at a blog. I'm not one who has a great deal to say, so if any of you have anything of importance, please let me know via email and we can post your wisdom. Can you post something if you sign in? Feel free to do so if it works.

Troubles?

Some of you have been having trouble opening the youtube sight. I made some changes. Don't know if they will work. Try this link now.

Let me know in the comments if it does or does not work for you .

Class reunion

Hope that everyone had a good time during our reunion. It was wonderful seeing so many of our classmates and exchanging stories. Thanks to all who had a part in planning this memorable event. Hope we can do this again in five years.
