It is more than a little cold here in mid Missouri and all you have to do is look at the river to see how much. The ice is forming and by tomorrow I’ll bet the river is frozen all the way across. I’m glad I wasn’t at the KC Chiefs game today! The sun was shining here today but …

World Ag Expo, the world’s largest annual farm equipment and agriculture technology exhibition, has launched a newly redesigned website. Structured to provide the most current information about the …

Or holiday cards, or whatever you call them. Here’s my current favorite from the Alltech Fortnight Festival. You can find it here. Here in central Missouri it’s starting to look like a white Christmas. We actually didn’t have much snow yesterday but it had to start out with a blast of almost an inch of ice. Now that stuff *&$(^&’s. …

I’m still recovering from most of two weeks on the road but just about have everything archived and copied that needs to be. This is Cindy and me captured in the door to the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas last week.
