These cooling towers are the ever present landmarks in Ogle County...I * Dr. Seuss-ified
them. It's pretty bizarre, they creep their way into so many lovely vistas...and in spite of what they are and the way people feel about them..."it is what it is" so I chose to make peace with that fact and appreciate the beauty of the way they change color in different light and the way the steam undulates out of them depending on the direction of and the amount of wind.

huge collection of his books (a garage sale gift from Nana &
Aunt Susie) ...some favorite memories are of my Dad reading me those
books at bedtime...he is a very good story teller. The first book I ever
