The Races



Last night Jonnie, my mom, dad, Uncle Joe and I went to the races in Coffeyville, KS to see my cousin Aaron. He races a kind of midget car, but I guess they call them "turf cars." Here are some cars going very fast. I have no idea how to take pictures of race cars at night that are kind of far away.


Here is what they looked like stopped for a wreck. (These aren't the kind Aaron drives, but the only picture I could get of a car NOT in motion.)


And here is a short clip of Aaron racing. He is the bright orange car. I tried to follow him, but he was too fast for me!

I'm back...

...to America and blogging. Sorry it has been so long! Being a college professor really takes it out of me! :) Not really, I have just been lazy.


I miss Korea a lot. I miss my teacher friends. I miss my Bible Study friends. I (sometimes) miss my Korean students. I miss public transportation. And I really miss the food.


I've been in Oklahoma for almost a month now and I can't recall seeing a single Asian. Wait--I take that back. Jonnie has a Chinese friend. Go Jonnie!


Being away from Korea is sad, but at the same time being back in America is pretty great. I don't miss out on great things like this...
