Since we were headed to a farm in Indiana this weekend, I grabbed a book off the ol’ To Read Pile about the Dust Bowl. The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan is a real snooze fest and rather aptly named. I realized this by page 21 when I read the line “Barbed wire was invented in 1874…” A few pages later, I challenged Andrew to a game of air hockey on the iPad. I guess I should have known better since the cover of the book boasts “This is can’t-put-it-down history” – Walter Cronkite.
I found my time in the heartland to be anything but boring. Unfortunately I was too busy to drop any barbed wire knowledge on anyone, what with attending wedding events and the 109th Versailles (pronounced VER-SALES) Pumpkin Parade.

| Fortunately, 30 seconds after this photo was snapped Andrew finds an available corn dog. |

| The Other Andrew wore two different black shoes, which doesn't really come through in this photo but is worth documenting. |
 |
| Awww, college buddies. I chose this classy shot over a sweatier version where the groom has actually been lifted over the heads of this crew. |
