Hitting a few snags along the way



No adventure can be without its unexpected moments. While we were trying to get club cards to play at the casino, Ken was rejected! His driver's license had expired quietly on his 60th birthday. Last month. Fortunately, the State of Florida allows on-line renewals, so we hit a free WIFI spot, got the renewal, and used the email confirmation to get him into the casinos.
The next day, after crossing into Arkansas, a pickup truck heading in the opposite direction lost a large piece of sheet metal or plastic or plywood that flew off and hit our car! Lucky it did not hit the windshield! Tore up the fronot bumper and broke the headlamp, though. Car still drivable, but the damage will be expensive to repair. I guess we were lucky though, it could have been disasterous.
I included some shots over the Mississippi river--the bridge was spectacular!
