Round bales running east and south...
Letting my mind unravel on 77…
Thought it would take a while to say
after 28 years living day to day
8 miles of gravel in my travel
ranch to pavement, tiny bit of the way…
But I’m “Sick & tired of this interstate system…”
At least this last two months, now I’m christening
“‘ ‘Wichita-KC Paula’s Freeway…
I don’t know but something miss’nin…”
Another beautiful white frame and limestone barn, not the bank barn of my studies.
Structural tile silo? Can't think it would be well? Dennis Domer? Mike Swann? any comment?
I was called mid-week to 77
Burns to Florence and Marian
J.K. Williams old barnyard,
white bank barn still standin’ hard.
Roads I’d traveled doing history stuff
Places where the writin’ was more than fluff
Highways, sideways, drainage ditches
Engineering plans that had some glitches…
I passed by and got to smile…
Road re-routed a fraction of a mile
cows in stockpens still intact
KDOT got it, had impact.
-a song, my day, my thoughts, my memories my mark on 77 with KDOT, KSHPO, and Citysearch.
- Kansas Department of Transportation does a great job!
The importance of the road in the political landscape reminds us of something we are not always willing to accept:
man as a political animal is always inclined to be footloose, inclined to leave family and home for a more stimulating place.

Would love to. Just learning to be “better at the party” and catch up to the backlog of 13,000 comments (many spam of course). Thank you for the kind remarks. Lots of catchup and weeding out “old” business but Hope to be back and business and not so ‘self’ centered with my blog functions after the first of the year.
