My mother sent me this link to an article discussing the future of FEMA as proposed by President Bush. 'Nuff said.

It turns out that I did not make it to both Lucas and Davenport, Iowa. I-80 was under construction through that area so I took I-280, the bypass around Davenport. Actually, the whole Lucas Davenport thing might have been screwed from the start since I really just saw Lucas, Iowa from across the train tracks. I'm pretty sure I was in Lucas, but maybe not. Anyway, no Lucas Davenport for me.

When I was in Iowa, after being in Missouri, I came up with a theory. I think that there is something fundamentally different between the infrared radiation given off by nuclear fusion and the infrared radiation given off by the combustion of carbohydrate material such as cellulose or natural gas. I came to this conclusion based on the fact that the sun was terribly bright, hot and annoying for much of my trip but when I was filming a hotel room that had a fireplace running for effect when the room was already quite hot, I didn't mind it at all. I actually enjoyed it.
