just a little squirt

Those are the words that my Grandma used to describe my brother, Jeremy, when he was a baby.

Indiana had the best radio.

I made it to St Louis by lunchtime and hung out with Grandma all afternoon.

Aunt Sharon also stopped by to say hello. It was a fun time and I wish I could've stayed longer.

I hit the road again in the morning. Most of the day was uneventful.

Central Missouri countryside (ok radio)


Here is the bug with some cow bums


Kansas, even Lawrence (which is a college town!) appears to be completely free of gourmet coffee drinks. I was craving a latte all day but my thirst was never quenched.

By the way, in the summer, Kansas is quite pretty. Western Kansas' rolling green hills give way to long flat colorful fields with big skies.

Here is a movie of the clouds.

By the time we hit eastern Colorado, the radio was horrible. The choices were:
Jesus
Country Jesus
Jesus
Country
love-oriented soft rock
Country
Country Jesus
The lady bug and I listened to some comedy CD's but when those ran out, we got really bored. Nature answered this by sending us a big thunder and hail storm. We took shelter in a gas station.

The rain let up and we made it past Denver last night. I'm 15 miled from Boulder this morning and am about to head over to TASI. That road trip was quick!
