iowa sunset
I just saw the most incredible sunset over Iowa. it is so flat here the sunset seemed to cover the entire horizon. it was blood red, streaks of yellow and orange with purple streaks throughout the whole thing. Clara and I were eating dinner in the Dining Car, with Don a truck driver from Texas, who was not as impressed as we were. he said he has seen so many over the Great Plains they become ordinary, sometimes even annoying when driving directly into one.
This is our longest stint on a train, about 30 hours. we'll pull into Denver in the morning and end up in Salt Lake City by 11 PM Sunday night. we are the next car to the snack bar and observation car, so we get to see everybody walk by and it's easy for us to hang out there. it is sometimes really hard to walk down the aisle of a train. i feel like a drunken sailor and i haven't even had a beer.

I Saw an Eagle Fly by this morning but it will be nothing to what you folks are going to see out there in the West. Dancer and I miss you guys.
