Joplin Orange

My new favorite color is one I'm going to call "Joplin Orange" in honor of our new base here in Joplin. Every corner you turn has a new opportunity for you to

suck in your breath

put a hand to your chest

exclaim, "Ohhhhhhhh"

or

"Ahhhhhhhh"

followed by something like,

"This one is the best . . . "

until you turn the next corner.

Now though, it is time to leave. Laura and I got a sweet dispatch from Joplin out to Sacramento.

And the icing on the cake is that I get to show my guest the features of my favorite Interstate

I-40

We'll keep you posted.
