I've got about 45 hours worth of work to do over the weekend in the western part of North Dakota. This means two things:

1. I won't be blogging at all except maybe a little bit in the evenings (though I'll be working well past midnight all of the nights).



2. For you North Dakota readers, I won't be attending the NDGOP state convention. I had planned on attending to give some of the state politicos a face to go with North Dakota's most popular political blog, but this isn't my day job and work comes first. I had planned on video taping the speeches at the convention and posting them here for everyone to watch (North Dakota doesn't get very good media coverage of its political conventions), so I'm really bummed that it didn't work out.

While I'm gone those of you with posting accounts feel free to submit posts for publish. There will be somebody checking to approve them while I'm away. I've scheduled some posts to appear while I'm gone. If you see those popping up I'm not back yet, they're just automated to appear when I schedule them. In the mean time, watch this dude juggle:
