FROM MORNING DRIVE JOURNAL
MAY 21, 2002
Another blue sky.
It seems to promise summer but maybe it's just jerking our chain. We've had these temperatures in the 30s, it's mid-30s again this morning. People are making this joke, that you don't want to sleep in on a Saturday, you might miss summer.
The smoothed fields - the sight of them moves me. Something in the blood, being a farmer's son, seeing the farmers' handiwork rolling away from me in all directions. Soil gets in your blood, you cannot wash it way.
The flag at work blows southwest to northeast lazily - what else comes from the direction tornadoes come from?
