Today I learned that entering drawings works

Last week I went to Home and Garden Show at the Cheyenne Fairgrounds. (Cheyenne, WY, by the way. There are a couple of other cities named Cheyenne in other states.)

I wasn't able to stay long because I was with an elderly relative who tired quickly, but I had time to enter a few drawings.

In some cases, this is a bad idea. All some companies want to do is get your phone number so they can call you with a sales pitch.

But in this particular instance, it paid off for me, and I get to go spend 2 nights at Rushmore Shadows Resort, which is in Rapid City, five hours away from where I live. I will have to sit through a 90-minute presentation for a time share...but hell, cheap at the price.

I hope to visit Mount Rushmore and a cavern that's near there as well, although I'm blanking on the name of it now...
