OK today starts off by talking about how the trip from Washington state to Minnestoa went and the problems that were caused by the weather. Remember kiddies if you are dumb like me and think traveling in winter is a push over then don't be surprised when it isn't .

Next up I have question for you all. If you could play one song for a child that would influence them the rest of their life what would you play for them? You can send your ideas to RendalsRavings@yahoo.com or keep an eye Here for a youtube post with the same question.

After that I start off by thinking I'm doomed to talk about politics but my dad comes in and we end up talking for almost an hour on his Civil War historical fiction novel The Revenge of Little Crow. We talk about the history of the Great Sioux Uprising and about the battle of Wood Lake as well as the presidential order that sentanced 38 indians to hanging in Mankato, MN, The biggest mass execution in US history. If you would like to check the book out on Lulu.com you can do so by Clicking Here, or Clicking Here to check out steve's other books incluing Toby Ryker and Deadwood Days, the second and third in the series started by Little Crow.
