This year's annual meeting of the Illinois State Academy of Sciences was at Eastern Illinois University. It was cloudy this morning - in one area the bottom of the clouds were level with the turbines of the windmills. The sun came out later, there is a pic of one of the older campus buildings looking like a castle - what is it with universities doing that anyway? After the meeting activities I had just enough time to drive to a state park featuring a reconstruction of Abraham Lincoln's father and stepmother's farm after he was grown up. It was closed, but I guess when it is open there are reenactors. After that I drove to another historical site, the cemetary where Lincoln's father and stepmother are buried.
