'Bob Can Die Happy' Experience: Because of the Art Institute being SOLD OUT, this left us time to attend the Museum of Science and Industry on our way out of town. Anyone who has met Bob in the last 3 years knows how much Bob loves submarines. At the museum there was a german submarine captured by american forces...the U-505.

We are now in Saugatuck Michigan, a very charming, artsy town on Kalamazoo Lake which is just off Lake Michigan. Sort of like Cannon Beach, Oregon...without all the seagulls.

Oddly, there seems to be a large contingent of Harley Davidson fanatics in town. We would have taken a photo to share with you...but we were afraid!Still no rain! B&C

Too bad about Hopper, but great news on the sub adventure. I'm glad you got to tour it, Bob, but remember--the one you're thinking of building is more like a 50 gallon oil drum.
Sheila and I hurried back from Quartz Mountain to see what you guys have done in the past two days. Out of the Heartland and into the City! Sweet Home, Chicago. Did you get to hear any blues?
Quartz Mountain Resort was disappointing. It's owned by the state, and run by 19 year old kids who have never been to anything nicer than a Motel 6. At least that was how it seemed. Nothing ventured . . .
We can hardly wait for your next entry.
