After leaving Indiana this morning, we drove into Illinois. We spent the next 180 miles driving across corn fields. Three hours is a lot of corn fields. Really, really a lot of corn fields. Now we know where all that corn syrup comes from.
Earlier this morning over breakfast, Steve and I caught up on all the important news in "USA Today," our daily source for depth, insight and analysis of the world's daily happenings. (Kind of makes me miss the Berkshire Eagle...) (The radio waves seem to have been taken over by a combination of God-fearing Christians and country music lovers - (is that redundant) - with no NPR in sight.) (But even that doesn't make me miss Alan Chartock!)
Having learned from our go-to source that the brand new Apple iphone 4G has sold out in every major metropolitan area, we thought that while we stopped for lunch in Effingham, Illinois, (yes, Effingham!,) we might get lucky at the AT & T store there, since it is a town surrounded by 180 miles of corn fields. After they stopped laughing at me, I learned that the AT & T store in Effingham does not have an Effing iphone. I guess I'm back on the waiting list.
