Maynard kept checking the rear view mirror as we drove through Pueblo, CO, and east, away from the mountains. Today was sunny. Yesterday the rain, clouds, and shafts of light in the Nevada & Utah deserts explained why folks there are true believers -- whether in religion or aliens. Among other things, we passed cosmic ray collectors yesterday. Today was more practical. Lots of grain was being piled as seen above (the wind was strong; the grain seemed to me to be getting dirty). Also, we saw over 20 miles of "stored" auto-railcars. At 55 railcars to a mile, that's a lot of unused stock. Strange. In 2006 the threat to railroads was that scavengers were stealing pieces of track because the scrap value was so high. Now we see many miles of unused equipment parked in odd spots, on tracks that may not be used again. My last thought for the day is that I have to look up the red spiky plants that are being grown in many fields. Can't figure out what they are.
