Board Game Beatdown South Dakota Style
by Kevin Burton My wife and I loved our South Dakota-Nebraska vacation last fall. We really didn’t want to come home. On the way home I kept a Nebraska station on the car radio well past the point where we could actually hear it well enough to recognize a song. “Hey, if …
