Mom and I visited the bank in Princeton today and visited with the cashiers. Cindy Hayes (now remarried to a banker) was there and visited with us, as well as with my old friend Larry Magnuson. We had lunch at the Princeton truck stop out across I-80. I have eaten there many times and it is really a favorite of mine. Biscuits and gravy, soup beans and ham;cornbread. No better eating in the Midwest. Later we came back from Tiskilwa to have supper in Urbana. Tomorrow we are off to Appleton, Wisconsin for Jeff's wedding. Mom is reading "The Sheltering Sky" with me. She was able to borrow it through the Tiskilwa Library system. We often forget the many things that government does so well and for so many. Our public library systems are an example of government excellence that the private sector will not or cannot provide for the citizenry.
It is a good year.

That meal sounds incredible. I may myself try to eat that today from a local diner.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, three cheers for public libraries. If health care was run like the public libraries, our country would be unstoppable.
