Days Inn West Memphis Pyramid

Today began my 10 day journey from Kansas to the east coast and finally Chicago. Kansas pushed me out of the state with below freezing temperatures and impending inches of snow.

... both Ben Harper's Burn One Down.That blows my mind. I believe we have a lotttt in common.

"Now my choice is what i choose to do and if I'm causing no harm why should it bother you?

I think I'm attaching a picture I just took of Ryan filming while Christa is driving. He went to film school and sets his camera uptop the bed ...

When I have checked with Rich which stories are for public consumption, I will come back with more, but, for now, that's all, and it doesn't seem to do the last fortnight justice but I have just wound up in Memphis after a 13 hour solo drive and the only thing to ponder on now is whether I sleep standing up or laying down, so for that I must apologise.

In case you're wondering, which I'm sure you're not ...

... early Sunday. No rain. I decided to use the interstates for as long as I could in case we did find the promised storms. We took the same route My Precious and I had taken to visit Melissa while she was still in Bloomington. I pointed out the sites to Travis as we drove, like a welll weathered traveler always does. The first true high-light of the trip was a stop at Boomland - somewhere near Sikeston, MO. Boomland sells fireworks all year long ...

... The lens on the right side is the strongest possible but all it does it make things less blurry. So then, even though the lens on the left side corrects my vision so that things are clear, due to my peripheral vision, things are always somewhat blurry. It's like looking through a window with Vaseline smeared all over it. My Vision. This is a literal vision, not a spiritual vision. As I was watching the group Restless Heart perform the second ...

LDS Church history in Memphis began in early 1835 when a young Wilford Woodruff became the first LDS missionary to visit the city.
