Moi Part Deux

I'm in Richmond, Indiana -- wherever that is. I know it's west of Cambridge, Ohio -- wherever that is -- where I had planned to stay, but I got a late start this morning and pooped out before I could get across the Indiana border. I spent two nights in Springfield. I left a day early to outrun those global warming winter storms. That would be no problem with my car except for those pesky speed limits. I got some nice Christmas presents, including the Hillary nutcracker, my favorite cologne and some other things, but didn't get my 74-million-dollar submarine. I mean, it's not like Illinois and Virginia are landlocked. I could have driven it home. But, I don't want to seem ungrateful. Maybe next year. Kerry looked for wealth, I looked for beauty. I went antiquing and bought a huge, garish, carved wall clock and a Life magazine with Lee Harvey Oswald on the cover. I paid $7 and thought I'd found a treasure, but it's selling on ebay for only $10. Rats. OK, bedtime. I plan to hit the road early, so I'd better get a few hours of sleep. Later.

You are just north of us. Richmond is west of Dayton, Ohio--- about 90 minutes north of us... on your trip back through, you ought to stop by the United States Air Force Museum located at Wright Patterson--- It is simply an amazing place--- http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/

I was thinking of checking out the BX at Wright Pat, but I never build in enough time for sight-seeing when I travel. Getting there is my goal.
