the yarn store (zaibatsu), 09/28/2019 ------------------------------------------------------------ Well, here I am in a spacious yarn store in Independence, MO. The Yarn Merchantile I think. We drove out here to spend the day in Kansas city, my wife and I. She knits, but I don't (yet), so I figured I'd write another semi-roophloch on-the-road post... Missouri has been interesting. It is a very geogrqphically homogenious state, compared to Arizona; we drove two hours to get here, but it still looks the same. That causes me a little heartache, as I love to explore and find that less interesting here. One person I spoke to about it said that "out West the beauty roars, here it whispers." I guess I need to learn to listen. On the bright side, I get to visit some thrift stores while we're here. Stopped at one called Thrift World, and they has an original NES with about 10 games amd some other accessories. They were asking way too much, but it was still fun to see. We'll see if any others hold any surprises.
