Where is Woody Guthrie
It was hot. And dry. The wind blew and a dust storm raged. People finally just started calling it a dust bowl. The Midwest was overwhelmed with drought, the country overwhelmed with depression.

Son, Many of us in Missouri are disappointed that Mizzou is not in a BCS Bowl Game. The Tigers are in the Cotton Bowl – playing the number 25 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks. And they are having a great day. The game is presently late in the third quarter and Mizzou is ahead 28 to 7. […]
