Yesterday

Yesterday we drove from Lewisburg, OH to Topeka, KS, a distance of 650 miles. We left the Super Inn at 9:40a.m., and arrived at the Topeka Super 8 at 10pm (11 pm eastern time). A long day. It was I- 70 all the way. Along the way we stopped in Columbia, MO, where Katie still has a house rental and a lot of stuff. We picked up some things she needs, saving her a trip. We met Sam, her housemate, who helped us find things. Thanks, Sam. 

Crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis - we saw no obvious vestiges of flooding. Probably not in the right place.

Today we are continuing along I-70. Traversing Kansas. We've been enjoying a loaf of bread Harry gave us - with goat cheese spread on it. I use the road atlas as a work surface for cutting bread and spreading cheese. It has a shiny surface that can be cleaned.

We're about to cross over into Colorado. I've been reading aloud from The Radical King, a collection of MLKing, Jr.s writings by Cornel West. We keep finding extremely apt passages for today's political campaign. E.g., King's formulation, "the inseparable twins of racial injustice and economic injustice." A perfect motto for Bernie's campaign.
