William and I just stopped at a rest area near Des Moines to brush our teeth. Inside the small building that houses the restrooms I talked to a woman named Stacy Ginsburg for a few minutes. She happily reported to me that she just got published for the first time. On her laptop she showed me the web site on which she is published, but there was not time for me to look at it closely and I don't think she told me the name or URL of the web site. (Stacy, if you read this, I'd like you to elaborate on what I've said here and link to the web site you showed me. And correct me if I got anything wrong.) Stacy is driving from New Mexico to the upper peninsula of Michigan. She said I really ought to check out the area; lots of interesting people there... William decided to take a different route to Neenah, WI, so we won't be hitting Minnesota. We will be going through Madison, though, so I'll
probably stop and see Jeff. Need to call him now to let him know.

Yeah, both the UP and New Mexico have some very interesting people there. I haven't exactly been up to the UP, but I've met a lot of people from there who traveled to the LP. In New Mexico, I've stayed in the Taos/Albequerque/Santa Fe area. The people in that area seem to be more concerned with conserving resources, protecting the environment, protecting freedom of speech and expression, expressing themselves creatively, carrying on the cultural traditions of the southwest, and making incredibly tasty food. In the UP the people also seem more concerned with the aesthetics of nature, leaving people be, outdoor pursuits, taking walks and bike rides, and socializing with the neighbors. In downtown Columbus it's all about the night life, dressing sharp, drinking at the right places, and being seen.
got to hit up the Leinenkugel Brewery while in Wisconsin, dude.
