We just got back from our trip to Illinois.  In Letterman form, here is the top 10 list of “Things I saw while I was in Illinois.”

10. Expensive gasoline.  (but at least I was getting almost 30 mpg)
9. The inlaws. (yes, they’re my inlaws, but they’re not so bad.)
8. Water towers.  They are everywhere up there.
7. A giant statue of Superman.
6. Monical’s Pizza - not bad at all.  (Thanks, Andy.)
5. Normal, IL - hometown of The Normals
4. Windmills (about 50 of them, all together)
3. Miles and miles of nothing.  And I mean nothing.
2. People celebrating the existence (and possibly taste) of turkey testicles.
1. The sign that said “Welcome to Kentucky.”

(On that last one…for the record…I enjoyed my stay in Illinois, but after driving 7 hours and still being in the same state, I was thrilled to see the Kentucky state line.)
