Travelling home. Said goodby to the Rockies and hello to the prairies and great plains. It was good to see green again. Even flat roads were a nice change. Big negative was the cattle feed lots. Some you could see, others were screened behind tall hedges. But you could smell them all.
The smell itself would make you give up eating beef. Nicer thoughts - The Historic Fort Dodge is now an incorporated city for State Veterans Home. The whole thing is like a retirement village with independent living to total care. The Truman neighborhood in Independence is a charming victorian historic district. And St Louis is a wonderful city with many historic, beautifully restored neighborhoods as well as the famous arch, U. S. Grants Farm and the home of the Cardinals and Clydesdales.
Ha. In CA you did not like the little farms and I told you to stay out of Kansas. Hope your windows were up and AC on.
