Back Home Again in Indiana....

Monday evening, July 21st:

A blog update from earlier this a.m. About one half hour ago, (6:30 p.m. c.s.t.) I crossed over the Illinois/Indiana state line on U.S. 52/24 at my odometer reading of 82,890-- 7,588 miles from when I left Clinton on June 4. I am in Kentland, Indiana (Newton County) at their public library, using their Gates Foundation Public Access Computer, as they do not have wifi. This is a small, Carnegie library about 5 miles inside the state line. This library is still on Central time (upper northwest Indiana stays with Chicago). I am only three or four miles north of the Eastern time zone in Benton County (Fowler, county seat). I will be using some of my time tomorrow just to "drop in" on two or three of the public libraries that were in my ALSA (library network area) when I lived in Crawfordsville, IN before moving to TN.

It has been good to see green cornfields through Iowa, Illinois, and now Indiana. John Deere is every where!! I saw a billboard that asked: Do you dream in yellow and green?
