Welcomed rain for our area farmers. Now if we can get 1″ per week until harvest, it will be perfect. But that may be too much, and specific, to ask.

Sorry for the double posting. Just curious if there are any Illinois DNC delegates on this blog. If so, have you had any reach-out by any organizing efforts around the upcoming nomination? Thanks in advance.

I’m learning so much on my tour of Illinois. Yesterday I was in Alton and learned that James Earl Ray was born there. I also learned that a block away from his home is now called Martin Luther King Drive. Not sure if that was intentional but it’s a fitting tribute to King that he’s the one being honored there.
