Missouri!

We're in Ozark visiting my childhood friend, Jeannette, and her husband, Don. We're at the beautiful Ozark Mill, now abandoned but, with only a few million dollars, could once again be up and running. Maybe in another lifetime.

Please note if you will the choice lighting fixtures at the mill. I thought the use of compact fluorescent bulbs was a nice touch.

By the way, it's year round fishing on the river behind the mill for Ozarks favorite panfish. If you're interested, Joe, you can even take a free class on "Crappie Fishing for Beginners".

Sometimes days are "two pointed" for John. Can you guess where this photo was taken? Hint: the name of the store is the same as the varmint in the photo, the one with the hair. And why is he (John, not the bear) looking so dour? Is it because Patty thought that the slightly warped sander in the seconds department did not need to find a home in NY?
