Route 66

Who invented trails? I love trails !

Mentally insane

In South Jacksonville we found the closed down Insane Asylum. Is it even ok to say those words  A state hospital with its own coal and steam power and heat. The governor closed it down and it is empty buildings with a beautiful grounds . They say the daycare is built over the graves of deceased residents. They say all the residents were moved into halfway houses. The buildings they used for "shock therapy" are still there. So strange to think how people were strapped down and their brains and bodies were electrocuted into possibly acceptable behavior.

Mending,architecture and movie stars

We are mending the back door curtain. If we ever find someone to make a new one it will be a Christmas miracle.#duck-tape

I started October off with a nice 4.5 mile hike. I love walking or hiking, I see and discover this wonderful land.

Working on my attitude

I walked over 7 miles today on the Illinois and Michigan Canal trail exploring. 46 shows to go. Marseilles , Illinois is a pretty town. Thank you America !

Walking around the town somewhere, Illinois

Chicagoland is mostly civilized except for the terrorists with their horrible homemade signs, their yelling, vulgarity and death wishes.
We have lots of 2 day stands, occasional night travel and this translates into beauty sleep. We who work in this traveling slice of magic find this most civilized.
I think most of the show has some kind of upper respiratory something or other.
I am loving the September night skies and watching the moon wax. Only 2 more full moons to go, the corn will be high and the circus can rest till March.
