Drove from Spring Grove to Clinton, Iowa, yesterday, taking Il-47 to Il-176 to Il-23, to Il-72 to I-39 to the Lincoln Highway.
Gas prices dropped as we got farther away from Chicago, of course. ($4.10 in Marengo, $3.68 in Dixon).
A lot of traffic most of the way.
Got a room for two nights at the Super 8 ($50 a night). Had those great boneless chicken dinners at KFC and went to the ballpark (complimentary tickets at the Super 8) and saw the Clinton Lumber Kings take on the Beloit Snappers, both Class A Midwest League teams (Mariners and Athletics respectively).
This was the first win that we had seen for Clinton in several years, 6-1.
Then went to Bonnie's for a coupla celebratories and peanuts.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
