Hi Ray, it's good hearing from both you and Chris. But yes the distillery demands attention and has great cocktails. Funny, I've been at the downtown Davenport location much more than the Le Claire spot. All good!

Hi Chris, still here having one more. Great little river town but it's gotten a bit more touristy since you left (Thank the Pickers). But still good... have a great holiday even if you have to work. Enjoy your posts! πŸ‘

Happy Thanksgiving Ray! This is at 5 Cities Brewing on east 53rd in Bettendorf. Next to Central Standard burgers which has the same owner and decorated similarly. πŸΊπŸŽ„

The Veteran's Day evening light show from my back deck looking north. Probably the strongest Auroras I've ever seen in Iowa...

River #boats from this fall. I snipped a collection of river craft on the Mississippi River off several webcams. Then I ingested them into an AI app and had them redone as if they were realistic paintings. βš“

Yes, I heard they took over GR in Clinton, but then was worried that means that they wouldn't be coming to Eldridge. I hope your sources are right and they come even further south. Disappointed in the Bears today, but that's another topic...πŸ˜’

Had some AI fun enhancing webcam snips of the spectacular #Kilauea volcano episode #35 eruption. Even Madame Pele made an appearance! πŸŒ‹

The Phillies "big boppers", including the one that the Cubs shouldn't have let get away.
