Life and Rugby at the Center of the Continent

I was sitting here on my lunch break, pondering great ponderances and wondering about this wonderful world we live upon and thinking, "I wonder where the geographical center of the North American continent is."

Lo and behold, thanks to Google, I found it.

Rugby, North Dakota.

A mere four-hundred and forty-odd miles from where I sit.

Sounds like a fun traveling destination. So... what with the weekend coming up, I thought I'd check out Rugby's website.

Looks like the city-wide garage sale is this Saturday.

Hellboy II is showing at the local cineplex.

They have a Victorian Dress Museum. And a bell tower. And the Dale and Martha Hawk Museum, with lots of old farm machinery.

Prairie Village Museum is celebrating it's 23rd anniversary with a village fair.

Oddly enough, no mention of a rugby league. No Rugby rugby team in Rugby.

Gasoline is just under $4.00 a gallon in Grand Forks.

Maybe we'll stay a little closer to home this weekend.
