More Scenes From the Road
I believe I snapped this photo the day before the full lunar eclipse. The moon was stunning at dusk.
After one of our concerts, the wonderful presenter saved us some Rice Krispie treats for the road. Because of the constant below-freezing weather, especially overnight, the treats froze in the van and became one big brick of Rice Krispie-ness! Ryan enjoyed having Rice Krispies in a convenient driver-friendly form.
As usual, I was busy napping in the van (I am so very good at that), but when the van stopped, I saw the Jolly Green Giant! Ryan thought it would be amusing to see the world's largest statue of the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth, MN.
As we drove from Spencer, IA to Ogallala, NE, we spotted a number of wind turbines along the way. These impressive structures are the modern version of the windmill and help generate electricity.
The drive from Spencer to Ogallala was quite long (483 miles!) so we helped Ryan out a bit. Here is Ryan enjoying the life in the spacious bucket seats in the back (with lots of leg room!) while Julie logs in some driving hours.
Onawa, IA claims to have the widest main street in the U.S.A. We are not sure if this is fact, but it is a pretty wide street.

Julie should submit a mileage expense report for driving the Magic Bus (@ 50.5 cents per mile as per the Revenuers), but make the check payable to Cello Bruskin. C.B. can claim up to $600 w/out having to report it, so no pesky 1099s at year end! Jot down the hours & miles, and don't forget to have C.B. sign it, as it were.

Making the check out to Cello Bruskin sounds dishonest--Cello Bruskin didn't drive the van and is too old to get a driver's license anyway. But my question is why the picture doesn't show Julie eating the frozen Rice Krispee treats the way Ryan did when he was driving!

Look at all these places you get to go to! When are you bringing the group to San Diego? :)
