Time to head home after a week on the road. Great meetings in Denver, now observing snow and hoping another flight does not get cancelled.
I sure learned a lot about Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska water issues, but I still have more to learn.
Have to say, though - Kansas is nothing but a blur now.
Have a great weekend.
Enjoy!
