Back at the wheel for the next 3 to 4 hours. Thank god....he who drives controls the music....my nerves are a bit shot from my son's tunes.

Low wooded hills.... we are almost home.

We hit the big river at sunset.....the tiny blip in the distant.....the last granite mountain in this area.

Turning into our street....I have the strange sensation I've been gone for hours....not days.

Mon Casa..........home...........in the fading light.....

Grand Lecture Halls....

Seats are comfy....double screens....I'm almost ready to take Chemistry over again (NOt!)

Campus View

Student Union.....

I'm perched somewhere on the top floor in a funky little room above the main hall of the student union....it's almost deserted....a bit spooky...but in a few months.....45,000 kids will be streaming through here.

Swans are in......

Gee from the North Shore of Long Island.....to the middle of Iowa.....you can't have your idyllic setting without a couple of fat swans floating by.
