One casualty of the beating many fixtures took from today’s wind is the cable strung across the east end of The Strip in Mandan. This poor police officer was parked nearby with his flashers going when I came to Mandan, and he was parked there when I returned to Bismarck. I know it’s important to make sure nobody ran into the fallen cable and pulled the whole works down, but I’m sure he was plenty bored! Poor guy.
