2025 Late-Summer Road Trip - Day 20-of-35 - September 2, 2025

Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025 - Down and east into Kansas - 371 miles ending up at Super 8, WaKeeney, KS:

Well, isn't that a lovely way to start the day:

It is a wide open world out there:

I messaged Wendy a nice Time Zone Map:

Left Colorado, and entered Kansas:

After we checked in to the Super 8, WaKeeney, KS, we went downtown for dinner. That was where I saw "Today's Art" - a very nice print/engraving of Bierstadt's "Sierra Nevada Morning":

We settled in for the night:

371 miles today (and 3 Post Offices). This is what they looked like:

Very Nice Time with my Beautiful Bride! Thank you God for another wonderful Adventure Day!

Music for today:

Kent Henry - Waking, 2003 worship album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 8/30/2017 - ok, but don't need to keep

Warren Zevon - "Things to do in Denver when You're Dead", 1991 song - single song - because we're near Denver

Warren Zevon - Learning To Flinch [Live], 1993 live album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 9/12/2023 - seems like a good idea to keep listening to Warren

Barenaked Ladies - Rock Spectacle (Live), 1996 live album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 8/26/2018 - Great Band-name, but a bit misleading (no ladies, certainly not barenaked ones):

John Mayer - Room for Squares, 2002 debut album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 8/26/2018:

Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones, 1979 debut album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 8/28/2018. She performed at Carnegie Hall on July 22, 1979 - it was a Sunday, and Wendy and I flew back from weekend-on-The-Vineyard to attend this concert. Pretty Cool:

Garland Jeffreys - Rock and Roll Adult, 1981 live album, last heard (on a Road Trip) 8/27/2018 - in winter 1982 (Wendy pregnant with Caroline), we went downtown to see Garland. We left an hour after the show was supposed to start - a worker said "Well, you know, that's just Garland.":
