The \"spread\" owned by my uncles and dad gave us unlimited opportunities as high-energy and unbridled kids bent on exploits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a kid and teenager, I was gifted or cursed with a bent for adventure and coloring outside the lines of societal normalcy. Or maybe it was a lack of understanding of the consequences of my idiocracy. If I ever had an \"Off switch,\" I never found it. Some boys are born with daring, or is it stupid? That was me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe accounts in my first book, \u003ci\u003eLITTLE OUTHOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE\u003c\/i\u003e, documented some of my earlier brushes with death and acts of foolishness and sometimes courage. This volume moves from my childhood to my twenties in the 1940s-1960s on the Dakota prairie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeveral years ago, the comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, made famous his comic routine: \u003ci\u003eYou Might Be a Redneck, If ....\u003c\/i\u003e He would complete the phrase with a hilarious take on a unique characteristic of a \"redneck.\" With this in mind, \u003ci\u003eYou Know You're in South Dakota When ...\u003c\/i\u003e, in \u003ci\u003eThe Little Outhouse on the Prairie Series\u003c\/i\u003e, is proffered with the same tongue-in-cheek humor. If we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texas\u003cbr\u003ewww.BurkhartBooks.com\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50457657704722,"sku":"9798397266536","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dc39c061-162f-4db9-b547-d5168f587226.jpg?v=1729936017","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/you-know-youre-in-south-dakota-when-9798397266536","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
