Lots of experiences today.

3. Columbia is also where the author of Blue Highways started his walkabout.

4. I went to Mexico

5. I visited Louisiana

6. I discovered that while southern Illinois is full of corn and soybean fields, there are more (many more?) small towns in Illinois than in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa.

7. I learned that I missed the Iowa State Fair and M.T. Greene.

8. I learned that the Mississippi River divides Missouri and Illinois

9. I saw what I believe to be the state of the art wind turbines.
