Today was a driving day, as I am
generally heading south toward Houston, where I’ll be picking my wife, Marty,
up at the airport on the 30th & we will visit our daughter Becca
for a few days.
On the way, I stopped to do a bit of
birding at the Hueston Woods State Park, first stopping to walk around the Four
Mile Creek picnic area, then driving over to the Avian Research and Education Institute’s Bird Banding Station to do a bit of birding. They
weren’t doing any banding today, but walking through the woods below Acton Dam,
their mist-net lanes were evident. |

I continued south and west out of Ohio,
and noted that the month’s rains had kept the farmers from working their
fields. Many of the crop lands were
completely covered with “weeds”, such as these corn and soybean fields that
were a brilliant yellow from what I believe is a Senecio groundsel.

This afternoon, I drove as far as Paoli, Indiana,
taking a room at the Midwest Inn. It
only cost $60.44, but it’s not worth the money.
The internet wouldn’t connect, there were no pillowcases on the pillows.
The positive points are that the Manager
was very pleasant and helpful, and, um . . . and, umm . . . yeah.
