I’ve come down from the clouds of my in-flight nap and am happy to report that I am in California!
I go to school almost 800 miles away from home, so I have flown quite a bit for personal reasons to go home for holidays and such, and over the past four years, I have made a consistent observation of in-flight beverage choices – people love tomato juice or ginger ale when they fly. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen such a high concentration of consumption of those two beverages unless I am on a plane. Even our cab driver on the way home from dinner chuckled when I announced what I had noticed to our group. By the way, I love being close to the coast for fresh seafood because I had a delicious dinner. So thank you again to my sponsors.

California Dreamin’ is the theme of the opening reception at Classic.
One of the guys in charge of this whole thing is the NCGA President, Gerald Tumbleson, seen here with his wife.
Here’s a couple of serious soybean promoters.
As we headed in to the opening reception this evening at the convention center we were encouraged to pick up a little flashy thing and wear it.
The first stop this afternoon was the media room to get checked in.
I’m here. It’s a gorgeous sunny afternoon in Anaheim. Time for the fun to begin.
Sitting here in my Dallas/Ft. Worth airport office (gate a-34) I look up and see lonely lost farm broadcaster. He’s Dave Schumacher,
