We finally got on the road late Wednesday afternoon, had a pleasant ride up through Missouri on US 61. In northern Missouri the effects of flooding was very evident, in some places right up to the edge of the highway. Some stretches had sandbags right along the edge of the pavement.
As we approached Iowa an ominous storm was directly in our path. We pulled off the road, took a coffee and dessert break while allowing the storm to move off to the east. The strategy worked. As a precautionary measure we donned rain gear, but arrived in Fort Madison, IA without encountering a drop of rain. Proof positive that strategic sweets are a valuable asset

when in doubt, stop for dessert.
The strength of the genetic blueprint you have given me is terrifying. I would have done the same thing. Coconut cream pie wasn't involved was it?
Glad to hear you've made it out well.
I have friends coming in town for Taste of Chicago. Restaurants from around the city set up tents in Grant Park and charge far too much for far too little samples.
It was 78 at 7AM today, topped out near 90, and they're calling for intermittent thunderstorms. Should be an interesting weekend.
Love you both.
