Your right I was assuming but sounded funny when you posted and I knew how close the towns were! LOL That is the scenic way for sure! LOL Lots of cornfields to look at.

Sure looks like it wants to rain out there but now not supposed to see any until this evening. Just this morning we were supposed to get rain this afternoon. How can they possibly all be so bad at the weather predictions? It shouldn't surprise me after all these years but it does.
