Manitou Island has been on the top of my list of destinations for a few years. I've never been able to fit it in on the itinerary during past trips. Next time, it will likely be my first stop.

Way out there on the Great Plains, vast reaches of the flat landscape are green and abundantly productive -- at least in a peculiar geometric pattern. But for how long? And of course, it wasn't always so. An aerial view such as this one is dramatically different from what one would've seen if flying over Kansas 50 or 60 years ago. As Wil S. Hylton writes in The Atlantic magazine,
"It wasn’t until the 1940s, when a variety of new technologies coalesced on the plains, that large-scale irrigation sprang up for the first time—but from there, the transformation was quick. Within a decade thousands of wells were drilled, creating a spike in productivity as unprecedented as it was unsustainable. Land that had been marginal became dependable; land that was dependable became bountiful. Even as the U.S. population surged, with soldiers returning and babies booming, the output of the plains rose fast enough to meet and exceed demand. No one worried about the aquifer. To farmers it seemed a bottomless reserve, generating the same outlandish volume no matter how many straws went in. Soon there were hundreds of thousands of wells producing the same reliable flow, year after year, without any evident stress. Then, during the early 1990s, farmers throughout the Great Plains began to notice a decline in their wells. Irrigation systems from the Dakotas to Texas dipped, and, in some places, have been abandoned entirely." (From “Broken Heartland: The looming collapse of agriculture on the Great Plains” by Wil S. Hylton)
This situation, of course, is one more part of what many call "the farm problem." In other words, it's something for experts in the field of agriculture to wrestle with, and presumably resolve, right? Or is it?
Not really. As the back cover blurb on a 1984 book titled Gaining Ground states, "If you like to have food on your table, then the farm problem is also your problem, no matter where you live."
Ready to grapple with yet another big problem?
This is the neighborhood we lived in during our year in Kansas City. It was your typical revitalizing warehouse/market district. These few blocks used to be downtown KC, but downtown grew towards the south and then the freeway cut through and cut off the neighborhood for decades. It's only now coming back into its own as a residential and office area in its own right.

So now gMaps has street direction and illustrates public and well known buildings. I'm sure data from the data from the Keyhole Satellite is what is producing these images.

I was looking for Google HQ on Google Maps. Looking simply for Google gives no matches. Doh!
So I added city and state, and there it pops, only... in the middle of a deserted area! With the full address (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043) it works a little better, but it points to a road crossing. Consipiray tightens...
