Driving on the 4th of July has its advantages. Not all trucks were off the road for the holiday but the majority were. Other than the passage around Madison, WI., traffic was reasonable. In one area of southern Illinois low lying farm fields were flooded. Evidence of drought seems to begin at the west border of Wisconsin. The drive from Dayton to Minneapolis was completed by 7:00 p.m.
Mileage for the trip was 1807 miles. Fortunately there were no driving mishaps. My hand is recovering nicely from the cat attack. Rumors that I drove over the cat later, are denied. The good medical care of the emergency room personnel in Dayton has prevented infection. A friend once said "It's the unexpected that happens when you travel that makes the stories." So the cat attack is an opportunity for 'story'. It has also triggered stories of those who delayed medical treatment after cat bites and regretted it...one required a 4-5 day hospital stay.
In a day or two Kaia and I will return to The Little House On The Prairie.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it!
Takk for alt,
Al
