Iowa: Fields of Opportunities

It may as well be called the corn corridor. I don't know how else to explain it. Hundreds of miles, hours at a time, whizzing by corn fields. Corn, corn, corn, far reaching to the horizon line. Both sides of the road. For hours. I could barely wrap my head around the amount of corn that I saw. This may sound corny, but there was so much of it and it got so bad that I could identify the differences and similarities between different types of corn. Yes, there are lots and lots and lots of different types of corn. At least 50 that I saw.

I love that you counted the different types of corn (and made a funny corn pun!)

Once, Deb had a boyfriend who told her that her breath smelled like corn.

These things just come to me Jamie... You are my muse.

I once slept in a corn field. It was a really bad night and not so good of a morning.
