There are two different kinds of corn (and subdivisions within the groups) Sweet corn (corn on the cob) and field corn. Field corn is used for animal feed and such. You can tell them apart by the tassels - the yellow/gold piece on the very top. Sweet corn splays out farther and is a lighter yellow/gold. You'll think you see it a whole bunch, then when you do, it's impossible to miss. That's the stuff you want to eat - not much better that farm fresh corn on the cob.<br /><br />You pretty much drove past my house - we're living on 29 north right now, but about 75 miles north of the intersection of the i-90 intersection. Crazy. The flooding here is terrible - not at our place - but in the area. In Sioux City IA there are interstate exits closed from water. The entire town of Mynot further north has been clobbered. Acres of farmland have been lost underwater and will take years to recover - if at all.<br /><br />On a more positive note, you're probably approaching the rally about now. I'm sure it'll be pure carnage - but probably of the kind you'll enjoy. The area we stayed on our way back to South Dakota was already full of hogs a week ago.<br /><br />Enjoy the Rally!<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life<br />http://www.behindbarsmotorcycle.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205336627048855559.post-34843349097798518292011-08-08T10:18:29.886-04:002011-08-08T10:18:29.886-04:00Having been out that way in the not too distant pa...Having been out that way in the not too distant past, I can really feel where you are and what you are seeing! Keep it happy, keep it safe :) <br />As far as the eating goes, I always find that I eat very lightly while on the road, and yes...a sit down meal is often far too heavy for what my body wants, which sometimes is salty or sometimes sweet. So nachos or ice cream would do the trick in those cases. <br />Glad you are following your long time wish to ride to Sturgis!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292408336437441003noreply@blogger.com
