Setting on the edge of the bed getting dressed and ready to hit the road. From Central MO. to Osceola Arkansas. Crop ins. agent training. Next day I was standing in a cotton field in Arkansas and just staring at the sky in disbelief. We were not that far from Memphis, and the lack of jet contrails or aircraft noise was unreal. Bright blue sky, huge, flat fields and from horizon to horizon not a plane in the sky.

We took a break on 9-11, from the meeting, cause one of the agents wives came in and said that if you wanted gas you had better get in line across the street. Price had already gone up thrity or forty cents and folks were lining up. I went and filled the company truck, and the other folks rental car.

The trainers had flown to Little Rock from Manhattan Kansas. So when we were done, I had to follow them to Little Rock. Car rental agency would not let them have a rental car over the phone. Too many people reserving them "just in case". I didint know how I was gonna squeeze 4 other people and their luggage in a Dodge Dakota and drive all that way, but that was our only option. It was 4 door.

When we got to Little Rock they let them have a rental to go back to Manhattan. Once they were there in person.

By then it was dark and late, but I headed to Central MO.

Dang what an ordeal.

But not near as bad as those folks that had to jump out of the trade center buildings.

I still dont have much use for the race/religion of people that did this to us. That is just me being narrow minded I guess.

Today's Featured Article - Chores - by Frank Young. The ceaseless passing of time! It is at once our friend and our enemy. It measures our progress and it makes us old. Like most features of our life, few things are all good or all bad, and most such judgments depend on our own perspective or viewpoint. In our particular hobby, we enjoy the nostalgic return to the days of our youth as we recreate many of the scenes that took place on the family farm that served as the stage for the first few acts of the play that is our live ...
