I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Outta Here

To the cornfield via Kansas and Missouri to hang out along the good old Mississippi where there is some old and very interesting architecture and history.

Although the drive is questionable right now this is all new in respect to after 32 years of making trips like this - this time is different because all those times before there was a very limited time frame because you always had to come back. Not this time and that's what I find interesting. Too bad you gotta be old in most cases to be able to do so.

I hope to do some of the following -

eat fish
catch some fish to eat
Ride my bike around these old river towns.
Quincy will be one where the old big houses are.
Warsaw and Keokuk in more depth.
Eat fish
Visit
Nauvoo even though I've been around the restored Mormon areas a number of times it's still a blast and the sunken garden dedicated to women is really cool. Everywhere picture opportunity's. Never explored Nauvoo and hope to. I know don't sign the book. Can someone call ahead and get me into the Temple?
I want to hunt and find what looks to be fairly straightforward to do - Keokuk geodes.
Visit

From there the further most SE reaches of the state to damn near the very opposite part of Iowa stopping at the real corn field on the way. There's two questions that will be answered quite a few times. "When did you get in and how long ya here for?? While there I hope to -

Eat a little bit more fish anyway
Give as many as I can a ration of shit first before they give it to me
Visit
I'd like to see what could be caught in the rivers with just a worm and sinker.
Visit
May go visit this fellow who lives in Colorado but will be visiting his folks who are about a hundred and forty or so some 80 miles away. We have golfed together.  Hope to get fed.
Visit

Sometime anyway hope to spend a bit of time at Okoboji and Spirit Lake and while there hope to -

Eat a few more 
Catch some maybe
See what a worm will get you off the dock and it could be damn near anything.
Ride around the lake where possible boat and bike. These lakes are very cool.
Visit

Stuff like that.

The internets will be sparse. I am sparse these days.  Thanks for stopping by. I swear I link to some of the best and for instance if you have never listened to Blue Gal and driftglass's Friday pod cast you're really missing something.

I'll be bok!!

Give'm hell and don't take any shit!
