We're heading back in a few weeks. Expect plenty more daily meanderings like these. And please, feel free to share with friends and family in need of a break from the doom and gloom news!

Thanks a lot, Harpus. A breath of fresh air is necessary from time to time... exhilarating, even. I haven't visited the Sooner State yet, though I've heard wonderful things. We'll be in Texas later in the year. Might have to indulge in that great American tradition and take a road trip north. Best!
