It’s Been a While
Big Dogs
Big fiberglass dogs at a gas station in Billings, Oklahoma. I noticed them on the way to Wichita and made a mental note to stop by to see them on the way home.
Sedgwick County Zoo (Wichita)
This was one of my favorite “micro trips” of the summer. I’ve not been to Kansas since 1982 and even then we were only passing through on our way to and from Wyoming. I enjoyed it so much, I may make this a routine getaway destination.

Robert William Barker
Bob Barker, host of television’s “The Price Is Right” from 1972 to 2007, has died, according to his publicist. He was 99.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” publicist Roger Neal said in a statement Saturday.
Bob Barker attended high school in Springfield, Missouri where he met his future wife at an Ella Fitzgerald concert. He then attended Drury University in Springfield on a basketball scholarship. His first job in media was at KTTS radio while at University.
