Just a few shots from my short ride though Howard County yesterday. It helped clear my confused mind.

Out Route 99, a freshly painted antique.

Beautiful farm country.

Lots of clouds over farmers. Much respect for that profession.

Random Thoughts of the Day

• I had better jump on yard work for the next 2 days. I see a lot of rain symbols after that.
• If I were a betting man, my money would be on the government being shut down.
• I’m so happy for our neighbors. Their son is getting a start in a major league game this weekend.
• It took a long time but I’m finally gaining some confidence. Just when I don’t need a lot of it.
