Initial impressions

* Driving in South Dakota is easy. You make a couple of turns out of the airport to get onto the interstate, and then you drive in a straight line for X miles until you reach your destination. The speed limits are 75 on the interstate and 70 on state highways, but it's a big state.

* Even here, a college town is a college town. The cafe where I had lunch today offered a full slate of vegetarian meals and had several varieties of oolong tea available in bulk.

* Working with a group of sharp, motivated college students does a lot to restore your faith in the world. (Also, I do surprisingly well in front of a class on one hour of sleep.)
