Guess where we are?  Cornfields surround our motel like “Field of Dreams” movie where the famous quote was “If you build it, they will come.”  I think they built this two story motel instead of a baseball field and the truckers have come.  We are surrounded by big trucking rigs that hail from Canada, Kansas, Missouri, Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and of course Iowa.  I’m in the lobby doing my computer work instead of our room because our Internet connection doesn’t work, thus no photos today.  The corn looks different from what I’m used to seeing, it looks like it stands taller as if at attention.  Minnesota and North Dakota’s corn looks more relaxed and supple that wave as you go by.  Iowa corn looks inflexible but businesslike.  Difference of 500 miles geography south and different corn seed I guess.  BTW, we are at Sidney, IA or is it Nebraska City, Nebraska?  Soon we will be in Kansas City, Missouri or will that be Kansas? How confusing! Being surrounded by cornfields can do that to you.
