Deer Tag

Debbie and I went to St Joseph, MO yesterday to watch Allison play indoor softball at Missouri Western State University. The facility is used by the Kansas City Chiefs for their summer camp. She played well with great plays at first and a booming bat.

On the way home, about 20 miles from Des Moines, we played tag with a deer on I-35. The deer is now "it" but it just lies on the road and refuses to play anymore.

We are grateful that the airbags did not deploy and that the car stayed on the road.

National Bike Month

I wish more people would ride their bikes to work or take the bus.  

Then the freeway wouldn’t be so crowded for me.

Jackson and Allison just fly their B-52.
