## Rapid Incompetence - 5+5=10
This cup of "coffee" is very important to me. Today has been a wonderful display of bad luck. It started in the early morning and stayed with us like the odor of a dead skunk. This blog post will be sarcastic. It will be a display of bad language. The reason is that I just don't know how to use good words to describe what happened to us today. Please forgive me in advance.
1. This morning started out kind of alright. We got up at 8-ish and decided to go to the Wendy's for breakfast. The funny thing is that when Marina and I were in Hawaii I was caught on (a youtube) video mixing up Wendy's and Denny's while we were enjoying lunch there. Today, I mixed it up the other way around; I made us go to Wendy's (a burger joint) while in fact I wanted us to go to Denny's (a diner with eggs/bacon semi healthy breakfast). So we detoured and went to the Denny's, which obviously, was about 2 minutes walk from our motel. Obviously we didn't mind, but here is where the Bad Day started.

3. It was only 10am now, and our flight leaves at 2:10pm so we have oodles of time. Plenty, I tell you. HA! I now hear you thinking "oh they screwed up and missed their flight because they thought they had plenty of time". No. This is not what happened. We played it all by the book, but more about that later. Please bear with me while I build up the climax storyline. We decided to go to a place called "The Chapel in the Woods" - I had seen a picture on Google Maps' localtrends, and it looked kind of nice. I figured I'd go out and take my own pictures.

When we got there, we were greeted by a gentleman of age, who explained to us that this was a norwegian chapel from about 850 years ago which was rebuilt in Rapid City in 1969. It really is beautiful (see picture), so I took out the fisheye and the wide angle DSLRs (yes, I have two, isn't that jetset?) and rocked up to take some nice frames. Oops - no memorycard. Shit! I must've forgotten them in the motel, because this is the first thing we've done today, and yesterday night I uploaded a bunch of pictures of the Black Hills. So I call the lady at the motel and ask if she would please check up for us. She checks and says that they cannot find anything. With all due respect, I ask her if it's okay if I come over myself to look - I am 99% positive that they are in the room somewhere, say, behind the bed.
We take some Android pictures, me feeling a bit sorry for not having better kit, and knowing I'll probably never be back here again, and drive back to the motel. It must be my lucky day (but later, I'll find out it's in fact NOT my lucky day). They found them behind the bed indeed, and give'm back to me. I'm very happy, and we set off for the airport at noon. We fill up the car with gas and drive to RAP. This all goes well. So far, so good, eh?
