Notes From The Road: International Peace Garden Sept. 11, 2011

It is the 10th Anniversary of  9/11. There is a service in the garden today, where they have laid i-beams from one of the Twin Towers. The flowers are blooming, the day is hot for this time of year so far north. Both Americans and Canadians are present. The RCMP look impressive in their red dress uniforms.

The Peace Garden lies at the northern edge of North Dakota and Manitoba. At times you are in Canada, and other times you are in US.

I will never forget Sept. 11, 2001: We were in Wichita, Kansas, on the 10th we celebrated my birthday. The next day on Good Morning America we watched a plane hit one of the Towers. Later we got caught up in a gas panic and had to wait in a long line to fill up, all they had left was premium at a premium price.

It was a long day. I refused to stop until we heard from President Bush. Then we could eat dinner and find a hotel and decide whether we should head home or go on to Colorado.

Not Your Father's Election!

Photo Info



It is time to step out of voting along strict party lines. Time to vote for the best person to
bring this country back to prosperity. To get beyond great speech makers, and those who want to give us the old sports mantra of next season, next year, but not today or tomorrow. Vote for people who will get the job done. Look beyond the blue and red, beyond being a Democrat, Republican or TEA Party member. We need to vote for the person who will do the best for our state and our country.

Please get out and vote on November 2, 2010
