More farm equipment:
Long straght road:
Fun with the phone zoom, making it look like we’re about to drive off a cliff:

More fun with zoom:
Entering Mountain time zone:
We were in Mountain time, then had a couple of weeks in Central time, and now back to Mountain for a week, before returning to Central until the end of the year, when we’ll enter Eastern. Such fun.
