On the Road Again

Some of you have been asking for more travel details, and even photos. Be careful what you wish for. Here's a shot of rural Ohio (rural being somewhat redundant, based on what we've seen) from the window of our car. It's much prettier in person, but it's not very eventful.

Today, JF asked me to pull over for a rest stop, and we ended up on a small farm road in Ohio. Without any A-list gas stations or fast-food restaurants around, JF pointed to a white clapboard house that had been converted into a Post Office and Grocery Store: "Stop there," he said, bravely.

I stayed in the car, but after just a minute or so, during which several burly men entered and exited the store, I noticed a sign on the flapping screen door: "Sorry, No Public Restroom." Then what was JF doing if not being abducted?? I briefly considered calling 911, but soon JF bounded out and, upon entering the car, said: "They're just the nicest people in there." This is what passes for eventful, so I guess that's a good thing. --JW
