We crammed a ton of stuff in today: Driving about 200 miles. Crossing the Mississippi River three times. Crossing the Missouri River three times (including a round trip walk on a new pedestrian bridge in Jefferson City). Touring the wainwright and blacksmith shops and the Browning gunsmith shop in Nauvoo. Touring Carthage jail. Eating ice cream. Visiting with sister-in-law Joan and some of her family. Visiting with brother-in-law Jim and his wife. Touring the Missouri State Supreme Court building (1908) where Jim works (after hours so it was mostly dark, which was very cool). Touring Mark Twain's childhood home in Hannibal, Missouri. And a riverboat ride!
In temperatures that went as high as this:
That could explain why Jack and I pretty much had the street to ourselves in this web cam screen capture that Roger took of us today (from the comfort of his air conditioned office in Utah).

Did you tell the staff at Mark Twain's home that he worked at our NYC print shop in 1851? He wrote about it in the Hannibal newspaper there and I bet they might have had a copy of the article!
Anyhow, great pic of Jack which will now go into my family desktop pic rotating screen saver.
Drive safe ... and cool!
Very cool. Do you have an itch to revisit some Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn now?
Love the screen shot.
