running again

I began to realize how good it feels to run in Texas. So, for the first time on foreign soil, I ran 2 miles!! I was expecting it to be a lot harder. I Finished and gained my breath surprisingly quick. I still had time to take a shower and to research for my talk on sunday on a topic of my choice. I'm thinking healing. It's a very uplifting topic and it has a lot of pertinence to any situation.
oh, and here are some pictures.

this was a sunrise on the mountains behind the Tower left from the Russian Invasion

this is a geezer doing what old people do best, driving really slow.

I'm still in love with these pictures I got from Litchfiel, IL

I felt really lucky to get these pictures

 This is a view of the Mississippi and the remains of the Old Capital of Illinois.  I was at Ft.Kaskaskia and the Pierre Menard Mansion near Chester IL. in the Steeleville area of my mission. I'd go visit that area again in a heartbeat.

This is me and John Wayne. He changed his name and went into hiding so he could become Mormon without people buying him beer every time they saw him.
