speaking of bison, which new quarter has the pic of a bison on it, I put one in the machine last week, thought of you, but can't remember right now.

That was the Kansas quarter-dollar.

We here in Nebraska wanted to have the Indian Chief Standing Bear on our quarter-dollar, but we got a rock in western Nebraska instead.

Nothing against the famous Chimney Rock, an important landmark for pioneers heading west, and where I spent my own infancy, but really, Chief Standing Bear seemed a better choice.

thanks.

unfortunately, we won't be hitting Nebraska on the drive west, although it looks like we're driving across Kansas. I'll have to go look that state up, the sunflowers in ND provided a bit of a break, perhaps Kansas is similar.
