Kansas in a nutshell

Wind power!

Wind farm

Eisenhower Presidential Library

Yep, that's about it.

We're leaving Denver this morning for Salt Lake City. It's cloudy and cool (50 degrees now at 7:30 AM), but SLC is supposed to be sunny and in the low 80s. Last night we had Mexican at Santiago's and had the infamous green chile. It was very good, but even the half mild/half hot was a little on the hot side for me! Thanks to Erin and Travis for their suggestions. Also for Erin, I just saw commericiasl for Mark Udall's senate campaign and I thought of you.

I need to post _something_. Pictures later

Mark Twain Mania

I've never actually read anything by Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain), but Marc and I stumbled upon his birthplace and childhood home today in Hannibal, Missouri. It's a teeny tiny town that is saturated by anything and everything Mark Twain. It's kind of creepy, but it was a nice day so we decided to walk around and have lunch there.

Marc at the site of the infamous Tom Sawyer jail. I'll have to take the sign's word for it... never read the book

Me and Cardiff Hill. I guess I have to read the book now...

Darn!

I do what I want!

Last night, I had a dream that I did something other than drive through Kansas today.
