winton churchill didn't point out the mississippi river that runs through the center of our country as maybe the greatest waterway in the world in terms of the system that created transportation from the very start. the mississippi river and all the tributary valleys there were incredibly well located, but all of these things can benefit us if we make the most of them. and it's possible to make the least of them. you know, if you get to the water, if you get to the river and you can get on it and you can use it and it becomes an avenue of commerce, it's an opportunity. if you get to the water and you can't get on it, it's an ob obstacle. that's sort of what all these things are when we talk about transportation. are we going to talk about obstacles or opportunities? what are we going to do with inadequate and a deficient infrastructure that really does impact whether local communities can compete or not. you know, in our state, back to that -- thoughts about the map of america, where it's located, missouri is really at the hub of where not only the natural infrastructure the country co
