Ok, this has been a long drive.  I’m not even in Wisconsin yet!!!  So far, I’ve seen a lot coming from the South and reaching Chicago.  I started driving through the Delta of Mississippi and then reached Memphis by the evening.  Lots of people from the South talk about how poor the Delta is and I had the chance to see it for myself.  It was definitely a new experience to see lopsided trailers on the cotton fields.  It didn’t look much different than going camping.  Memphis had Graceland and the motel that Martin Luther King was killed.  Then I headed for St. Louis to take a tour of Anheiser-Busch and now I’m typing in Panera near my old home in Wilmette, Illinois. 

I better leave for Wisconsin before it gets too late……….
