Goin' to Kansas City

Independence, Missouri — 3909.5 miles

The last stop on the Tour, before I go home Monday morning, and an opportunity to drop in on the young'uns and see what sort of mischief they've been up to. (Okay, the younger of the two is twenty-six, but still: mischief. These are my descendants, after all.)

Judging from this map, I wouldn't have expected to see a Terrible's in Iowa. Then again, I have to admit that I didn't anticipate seeing anything called "Terrible's" at all.

Nor did I anticipate this little concrete flower box, at a nearby rest area (click for larger version):

While loafing around the north end of the Kansas City metro this afternoon, the radio picked up a continuous ticking noise on 1140 and 1160 kHz. This is not what one expects to hear on 1140, anyway, so I conclude that this was a very brief anomaly.

And speaking of Kansas City, no, I am not going to the corner of 12th Street and Vine, mainly because they don't intersect anymore. (Run up "1200 Vine St Kansas City MO" in Google Maps and you'll get something like this.)
