June 22
It’s Monday, the kids are off to work and I have to get ready to go.
So I think, hmm, why don’t I walk into town? Why indeed?! Because it was h.o.t. and humid. I know what it’s like in the Midwest when it’s hot and humid. It’s the main thing I remember of my childhood trips to Illinois.
And I’m 62 years old (with a National Parks Senior Life Time Pass!), I’ve traveled widely, so I should be able to use my experience when considering my actions. But noooo.
It was SO HOT I finally just thumbed it the last mile. It was going to be that or the ER. My ride was blasting a/c and I was Happy.
