I read a story, which I found quite amusing, in which an elderly woman threw coins into the engine of a plane as she was boarding. She did this while praying for luck and a good flight. The flight was in Shanghai and the Buddhist woman is 80 years old, she threw nine coins, which caused a five hour delay to the flight, after questioning no charges are being presented to the elderly woman.

I read a story about how Hobby Lobby is being sued by the Department Of Justice. Hobby Lobby is being sued for smuggling Iraqi artifacts from Iraq to the United States. They were shipping Cuneiform tablets from Iraq to their main headquarters in Oklahoma. The family that owns Hobby Lobby is currently opening a museum, expected to be open in November, so it is likely that is why they were stolen. These actions break many laws that were put in place for the purpose of preventing historically or culturally significant items from being shipped through the U.S. Hobby Lobby is paying fines amounting to 3 million dollars to settle this lawsuit.

This post should reach 300 words." I was born in Rapid City and have lived her my entire life, my mom has also lived here most of her life. I personally really love Rapid City, in my opinion it has a smaller town vibe despite it not being very small anymore. I've traveled throughout the Midwest and the Black Hills are very unique. What makes the Black Hills unique is the landscape and climate. The Black Hills and Rapid City have a very specific small town feel. Despite not being a huge town rapid doesn't really miss out, we have touristy things, shopping and all sorts of restaurants. The Black Hills have not only 'hills' but also the badlands.
