Pedaled 80 miles today, but 10 of it was extra add on miles to go into Defiance, Ohio during rush hour on the Main Street in town with 4 lanes to Walmart to pick up some Parkinson’s medicine for me that is very important for me. I miscalculated or didn’t count well or something, but I realized yesterday that I only had enough meds for 3 more days and then I would be in trouble. Called doctor Ohling and he sent a prescription to the pharmacy at Walmart in this City we would be in tonight. Walmart and the Warm Shower host we are staying at tonight are 10 miles apart. Scary riding my bicycle in all that traffic. Got into the pharmacy and discovered that Patty had all my health insurance cards and Medicare cards. Expensive stuff that medicine that I take without the insurance. I called Patty and the Pharmacist lady who I had told my bicycling across America story to and was very interested and sympathetic with my dilemma talked to her and got the information she needed so that All I paid was $5! Whooeee that worked out all right even if it took an hour extra riding and an hour waiting in Walmart and scared 10 years off my life riding in that crazy traffic!! Our Warm Shower host is an avid biker and owns 5 bicycles which he keeps in his house. Very nice guy and we talked a bunch tonight. He ordered 3 large pizzas for us for dinner and I ate until I was stuffed, stuffed!! Nice weather today. Cold but clear. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow as we head up towards the Great Lakes. Tomorrow we will hit the 3,000 mile mark in our trip. I thought about doing another dance, or Rap song, but decided instead to eat a big bowl of ice cream for lunch! Yeh, now that is celebrating! We lost a day in our schedule because of the bad rain a couple days ago so we have decided to move the next rest day out 2 days and eliminate the last one. We will be so excited about the prospect of coming home in a week we won’t need it anyway. Love you all. Dee
I was hoping for a song and dance at mile 3000. oh well.
I am praying for you.
