DON'T ASK ME

For miles along the back roads of Kansas the view is the same, "winter wheat."  Endless miles of green shoots have sprouted and are up 5 or 6 inches.  Every direction is green fields and blue skies.  It seems as though enough wheat is grown right here to feed the masses...but....with a world population of almost 7 BILLION people,  1 BILLION are left to go hungry.  What will play-out in 2050 when the population reaches 10.5 BILLION?  If you want a cheery answer, don't ask me.


Northern friends will appreciate this.  Lilacs now flowering in northern Kansas.



The Jumping Spider is able to jump 40 times its own length and give you a nasty bite not unlike a wasp sting. 



Peter and Gundi Lattermann from Singen, Germany were are neighbors here in the Concordia, KS City Park.  We tried to solve the worlds problems in a hour but the best we could come up with was, "Last one to leave, turn out the lights."  So it goes.
