Through Washington and Out to Mississippi

Kansas was good but I was getting bored. I drove up to Wichita and then flew to Dulles Airport and drove at 1 am to Rockford, Maryland. I was lost, went towards a lighted area and was suddenly surrounded by police cars, snipers and semi automatics. I fell into something that needed guarding. I am sure I looked like a real threat. Worked until Friday, flew home and drove to Chicago to get our new bikes. Had a good time eating in fun restaurants, seeing Paul and Vivian and being with Anne. Our bikes are great and Paul has really fixed them up nicely.

Back to Rockford, shut down job on Tuesday, drove someone to Dulles then had to drive back in 5 pm traffic and thunderstorms from hell to Reagan Airport to catch a plane to Louisville, MS. Our crack travel department then set us up for reservations to Louisville, KY so I spent the night right in Washington. Our plane was delayed anyway. Drove past Arlington Cemetary and the Pentagon. On Wednesday morning, went right past the Jefferson and the Lincoln Memorial. Now in Louisville, MS with Joe Thompson. A fine southern gentleman who has explained a great deal about the South to me. Its hot and humid but I have a pool thirty steps (I counted them) from my room. I can swim all night if I want. Will probably go to another job on Monday.

  1. Cool stuff. The South sounds really interesting. I am sure there are a lot of culture and history. It seems isolated in a way. Everyone from there stays there.
