Where the sidewalk ends

for jerod and kj

Here is the space needle you asked for Kenton. Imagine us standing on top of it looking for whales in the water below!

Jerod, make sure you tell Kenton all about the brain sucking machine near Oma and Papa's. But don't sit in the chair, it's filthy:)

Suz, this one is for you. It is the belt buckle I imagine your girl Sarah rocking under her American flag outfit:)

maybe the moment...

whatever it means,
is under a pile of old magazines...
that i can reread whenever i choose
to find myself lost in used to be news.

Dust in the Wind

We went to the Kansas State Fair yesterday evening. One of the main reasons that I love the fair is that they will fry and sell ANYTHING. I tried fried cheese curds last night. They were delicious. I also managed to go on a couple of rides and not get sick, which is a huge accomplishment. I did not go on any spinning rides, that's the key. I did foolishly go on a ride called "white water" in 56 degree weather. I was soaked the rest of the night, and the water from the ride smelled gross. As Kenton said to me after the ride, "that ride really cooled me off! And I was already pretty cool to begin with!"
