Cornfield Football

This past weekend I took a trip out of town using the blue highways. Blue highways are the back-roads (often two-lane) which were once the main routes before the Interstate Highway System began being built post-World War 2. (Route 66 was a blue highway - I write 'was' as it is now decommisssioned).

While the Interstate Highway System affords quicker travel times and more conveniences (like pretty much uninterrupted mobile phone coverage), travelling on blue highways gives you the pleasure of seeing America of yesteryear; farmhouses set upon acres of corn fields and an assortment of 'mom-and-pop' businesses. Our destination was Delta High School where we took part in the production of another high school football game.
