ANOTHER NICE DAY...BUT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO CHANGE

The drive to Salina today was another nice one. Everything is beginning to change for the cold weather that will come. The cattle all seem to have been moved from the high country to the rangeland bordering Old 40.

It looks like the State Highway Department has been at it again creating more ugliness along the highway. They've cleared a patch of grassland and installed a huge propane tank that is first-class ugly. They seem to have an endless supply of money devoted to ruining the Kansas landscape.

The Vanier lake is almost dry, but a small flock of teal managed to find it for a stop-over on their way south.

The triticale is growing faster than the wheat.

Since there are so many of them, the wild turkeys are becoming domesticated, friendly little critters. Please don't bring me one.

Something is in the wind to the west of us. A nice change may happen soon.

Thank goodness for good doctors and hospitals. We are very fortunate indeed to have good coverage on both fronts.

Sunday Kyle West and Drew Britton will recieve their awards at their Eagle Scout Court of Honor. They are the first young men in a long time to become Eagle Scouts from Troop 84. I couldn't be more proud. It says a lot about the character of these two young men.
