I am currently experiencing the length of a cargo train. If a train is going to carry cargo, I guess it had better carry a lot of it. Probably a good five minutes past a road of it. Okay, it's done.
Today we visited a national park dedicated to george Washington Carver. He had a disturbingly high-pitched voice, but otherwise, the path his life took and the path he took his life was enthralling. (We watched a film.) He helped farmers plant their way out of poverty, man! And he made paintings! He earned respect from white people even during a time when segregation made no leeway for him.
Heather and I had good burgers today, with everything on them that a burger could want and nothing that a burger wouldn't want.
We are on our way to Tulsa to see family and have stopped at a couple of old gas stations. We drove through the corner of Kansas, which we could count as an accomplishment.
I would like to note that, especially in Missouri, consistently and almost equidistant from ome another would be flocks of small birds that would lift off from the road just as they were about to be run over. Not so much in Oklahoma where we are now or in Indiana where we were before, or back home where the main ani!Al's of the road are squirrels.
We have passed by a few interesting billboards:
"Does your logo look like poop?...."
"Quick and easy divorce!"
"We see people."
And some license plates:

YES LOVE (that was actually at home before are left)
