Ten years in Texas and New Mexico, and I got a little out of touch with what is happening in southern Illinois. We moved our family back over the Memorial Day weekend, and are now in Monmouth, near the Quad Cities and Galesburg, and are waiting to move somewhere in Galesburg in July. We are definitely enjoying the rain.
I may spend some time developing this site, which has always been kind of a tribute to southern Illinois, as well as trains. I am definitely appreciating Illinois, as Monmouth is very familiar in its culture and general atmosphere. The water problem may be opposite - they seem to be getting way too much of it - but in character, it seems comfortable. "Illinois is a lot like Iowa, only more so...." and "Iowa and Illinois are a lot alike, the only difference is, Illinois has a city in it..."
