April 22, 2021 - Day 5: Kansas City, MO -- Wilson, KS 微雕可以用的

On the way, we visited a Toy and Miniatures museum, a quick Google search for something to do. This turned out to be quite fun. The small building was full of 48:1 or 16’:1’ models: working teapots smaller than a fingernail, cabinets inlaid with wood thousands of an inch thick, and intricate dollhouses. Pressing your nose against the glass was like walking into a parallel world. We pointed out the patterns on the weavings, the little people, and explanations of how the models were made to each other.

While on the road, we saw a flame. The land stretching for miles in grass was burning in a controlled burn across acres as we drove by on the highway… the orange flames flickered in a sharp divide between the crisp black land and green grass. Smoke rose in the distance. While we saw all the CO2 in the air, we also saw clean energy. Later on, windmills lined the horizon, slowly spinning into view. The idyllic landscape wrapped around us in lakes and hilly mountains as we arrived in our campsite, a slab of gravel with only hills for miles beyond and a sunset over a lake.

This piano is really working:

It seems the farmers? did the fire on purpose (the black areas were all burned)
