This is my brother Paul. He is a first mate on a barge on the Mississippi. He has been doing this for many years. Paul works for ADM, the same people who bring us those very healthy soy products that can be found in the grocery store. Paul just called and left the following message:

"I'm in Evansville heading south. We'll be going to the Gulf. A little bit of rain, a little bit of snow. Everything seems to be going OK. I'll try to call you later."

He is very good at what he does, and has managed to stay in great shape!!!
