Ten Thousand Hawks and No Camera....Whose in Charge Here?

This morning we had our interview and tour at OWU. Great school. Perfect for me, probably a number three draft choice for my son.

We drove for a kazillion hours and arrived here in Galesburg, Illinois. Dinner at the House of Pizza and dessert next door at Kadij's (or something) with the beautiful baristas.

Unfortunately, I forgot to recharge the camera, so we don't have pictures of the ten thousand miles of vacant corn fields that we passed. We did see a few amusing signs, "Jesus is Real" and "Where will you spend eternity?" There were also lots of signs from the "Guns Save Lives.com" folks.

The highlight of the day, other than getting here without hitting anyone (sorry to t
he guy in the green Land Rover - "Didn't see ya dude") or without getting hit by anyone (a shout out to the four old ladies in the huge blue car in the McDonalds parking lot who just about drilled us) was seeing lots of birds of prey. Unlike yesterday's vultures, more of these seemed to be hawks. Too bad the camera was out for the day.

Time to shower and work or sleep... More later...
