Everyone got wet today. It was raining when we got up and continued until about mid-morning. I think I'll have to use the hair dryer on my shoes. This was the first day of real rain. I think we've been pretty lucky weather-wise. At least so far. And, no one crashed. (I walked my bike across all railroad tracks.)
This part of Indiana is Amish (or Mennonite). Horse and buggies on the road. Also scooters. (Why scooters and not bicycles? Are bicycles too mechanized?) I imagine that we'll see a few more buggies when we get closer to Wooster.
Richmond is right on the Ohio border. We have three other Ohio people. Dan grew up in Painesville. Greg is from Delaware. Laverne's family has a farm in Plain City.
The US played the UK today in the World Cup Soccer (the Brits call it football) . The game ended one all. Lots of grumbling from the Brits. They said the US team got a lucky goal. It was all in jest (I think).
Hey congratulations to Lori. No cheering crowds. No ticker tape parades like you expect when you solo. (Did your knee shake like mine did?)
Everything else is normal on this end.
Thanks for the kind words to Lori.....I guess it was bound to happen, rain, rain, rain..guess the Amish don't want to pump their legs anymore.....I would never, ever give up my horse and buggy for a stupid scooter. They are getting too modern for their own good. A scooter can't rub its head on your shoulder like a horse can. If you have a "hankering" for eggs, Marysville area is home of Day Lay Egg Farm, one of the largest egg products manufacturers in the country. It is also home to Honda, Nestle's, Goodyear and headquaters fo Scotts Miracle -Gro Company. The third week of August it is the site of the All Ohio Balloon Festival. It was voted the 5th best city to live, in Ohio. Sleep well in Marysville, and I'm getting excited you will be in Ohio. What an adventure. Stay safe and hope you are dried out. See you soon.
