Don't forget to stop at the Wall Drug Store.

I live in South Dakota. Why? Job pays well. Rent is cheap. No state income tax. Great bike trail in Sioux Falls.


As for Wall Drug, the last time I was there there was a fly buzzing around on the fresh donuts and the person at the register didn't care. They sell overpriced Chinese junk and overpriced food. I have no desire to return. There's plenty of better places to eat in Rapid City and the Black Hills. Better donuts as well, as Rapid City has arguably the best donut shop in the state.

The pandemic rolls through different parts of the world at different times. Some states are just beginning to see their case load rise. The mortality rate is higher in demographics with an older population. Italy had around 175,000 cases with over 22,000 deaths. Singapore has around 6,000 cases with 11 deaths. We should be studying them and their model. It's pretty remarkable. How did they keep their death toll so low in a city of roughly 6 million people while our death toll is so high?
