June 28th, a short review of Lecras(?) ___. The city of Lecras(?), is a great little town, in fact it's the best city I've been to since leaving Boston. The bars, restaurants music, college students & because of a downtown bakery, the entire city smells like cake. Definately visit if you're in the area

Jun 20th. I'm baking(?) through a No. of agricultural fields. You may ask what's in the fields, the answer is corn & soya beans. Apparently Ohio land prices are the as high as they've ever been since 1990, because of the demand for corn to make the gasoline additive ethanol. How do you know if you're having a good corn crop? If the corn is knee high by the 4th of Jul you're doing well.
