"A pig fell off a truck in Route 25 yesterday," was the opening story on the local news this morning. The poor thing rolled under a semi and tied up all south bound traffic until it could be freed. No one admitted to having lost the pig, but newscasters were so excited that a local farmer "rescued" him. This farmer already has 20 pigs. I don't think he is going out to buy the pig a personalized feeding dish. Let's not tell the newscasters that.
And in other news, I drove across Kansas today. It's not so bad. Kinda peaceful. The starkness of an October Kansas landscape is in great contrast to the starkness of the New Mexico/Arizona desert. It would be fair to say that there are miles and miles of very little in both locations, but the Kansas landscape holds so much promise. You can sense the fecundity of the earth.

It was a relaxing drive on two lane roads; no stress of an interstate.

And if Kansas weren't exciting enough, I also drove through Nebraska.
