Yesterday was a beautiful day. Something special about the light. Everywhere I walked life was stirring--a squirrel scolded me, I startled a number of deer, and a chipmunk stopped to watch me pass as I walked down the railroad tracks. But everywhere there was corn, ready to be harvested. The majority of our corn goes to the Cargill Plant in Eddyville, and from there it travels all around the world. It's a good thing we have corn, corn, and more corn.
I have to walk. It's hard to sit, and I walk and walk for health and sanity. I find some interesting and odd things every day that make me think. I also love watching birds, and the Iowa countryside--and writing! Sometimes when I am walking down highways and gravel roads people look at me very strangely. I am the author of "Yellow Cab," among other things. I work in radio news for KNIA/KRLS in Knoxville and Pella, Iowa.
