Spent my whole life in Illinois...18 years in Chicago, 4 in Champaign, and another 13 back in Chicago/suburbs. The next chapter started over the weekend. Moved the whole dog and pony show to Tennessee for a change of scenery. Good to be here.
gonna brag on my man for a sec...got the game ball in our last reg season game, 4 for 4 with a triple...first season of coach-pitch, couldn't hit anything at the beginning of the season, practiced hard
thanks for letting me know that they've got speed cameras on I29 in Sioux City...speed cameras on the damn interstate...i thought Iowa was freedom country

I've been told this morning that both China and the US are attempting to manipulate corn prices lower....except they're +$1.50/bu over the last year. Worst manipulation ever.
Lots to watch every day. Grains, COVID news, Afghanistan, politics, whatever.
There is one constant, however. The printing press keeps rolling...the one thing nobody talks about nearly enough.
