NOVEMBER 20TH: Actually left early at 7 a.m.. Took Il-49 south to Mahomet, Illinois, stopping at Gibson City for a McRib meal (that season, you know). Gas was $2.65 in Mahomet, the lowest I've seen in years.
Picked up I-74 southeast to Indianapolis in no problems going through the city on I-70. East to Ohio and a stop at Englewood, Ohio, for my Skyline Chili fix (gotta have my Cincy Chili every chance I get. I got to Columbus, Ohio, near the end of rush hour, but no traffic jams and got a room east of town at a Knight's Inn.
Drove around the surrounding area and found one of my favorite stores anywhere, Half Price Books. Books and music, that's my game. I almost thought I was going to set a record and get out of there without buying anything, but then found two Civil War Navy books, a CD by Buck Owens and two historical calendars.
The reason I'm calling this Cold Ahead is that it is mighty cold for November. The temp in Spring Grove was 12 degrees when I left and it finally got into the upper 20s by the time I got to Ohio. At least there wasn't as much road work as there was in the summer trip.

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.
