Garry Peebles reports area farmers are 85 to 90 percent done with cotton and peanuts as a cold snap approaches. Farmers struggle with low yields and higher fuel costs, while disaster payments details remain unclear. Gins report varying finish timelines from next week to two weeks, and peanut yields average around 3,000 pounds per acre with potential gains if prices rise.

They note the Great Wall, market foods, and a huge dam project. They discuss schooling, adoption costs, and cultural observations. They plan to travel elsewhere but would return to China only if curiosity returns.
