Well, lessee, Truman Library, Old's digs,saw the pregnant goat is she nursing now? Visited a friend who made the stained glass windows for the trolley, overnighted in Branson. Visited some Mississippi plantations, stayed with the landlady in New Orleans for three days. Too bad the weather was so cold in New O, but no one can control that. She took us around town, including a trip to the tip of the delta and a two mile walk through a swamp. Yes, I got some pics of a gator. Saw a little sample of French Quarters, but not much. Ate at Commanders for my birthday. This Iowa farmer felt a little out of place at a suit and tie restaurant like that, but it was an experience. We saw a lot more of the city too but I won't bore you with that.
Then we visited Marilyn's brother and wife in northwest Mississippi, saw Elvis's digs, spent 3/4 of a day in Hannibal, Mo. and last stop was the Amanas in Iowa. I'm a little predjudiced about my home state of Iowa, but the Amanas has by far the most places to browse and shop at in one area. Love the wine! Didn't stop to see my sis in Bettendorf cause she had a bad case of flu or food poisoning or whatever it was. During the trip I kept wondering about how many of you YT people I am passing right by and don't know it. The main goal of this trip, after all, was to see the personal side of this country, not expecially the big man made or natural attractions.
We averaged 260 miles per day for the eleven days the car was actually moving so it was quite relaxed, except for driving through New O and St Louis. So that's the extent of it. Now I've gotta get ready to move beans before the gound gets too mushy. Oh yes, we have by far the most snow right here where I live. Jim

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
