Saturday, May 18th.
Finally found a car wash in Dixon (after finding one in Morrison too busy and one in Sterling closed). We had picked up a lot of dust in Clinton that had been marked with a smattering on rain. We must cruise the Lincoln while looking good.
Also got gas, which was up from $3.68 Thursday to $3.80 thanks to the most recent gas gouge.
We were too late for the mural dedication in Franklin Grove and the car show was breaking up.
Drove on through Rochelle to Creston and stopped for a drink at Smokin' Harry's. Met the tour group which was having dinner at the Creston Opera House (imagine a town of less than 900 with an opera house). We had been too late in getting signed up for the tour and ate instead back at the Iron Skillet Restaurant at the I-39 truck stop.
Then, we went back to Creston and heard Mr. Headon talk about his town and Lincoln Highway connection.

TOO PUNNY: I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
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.
