Our morning started out with a radio interview on the Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning Show. Once again the guys were fun to talk to and very encouraging. In fact, they even had a couple of recommendations for us. One was to show a picture of our t-shirts on our Web site. Tony has already taken that suggestion and run with it. Check out the photo in The Store. Thanks, Tony!

The hot and humid weather surrounded us again today. Although we didn't start out until 9:30 a.m., we managed to get in 36 miles by 7:30 p.m. We have been mastering the art of power walking and have been able to get in some good miles.

I was almost eaten by two huge, vicious dogs today. To scare them away, I used Brandon's technique of raising my arms to look larger and then yelled at them.

Dogs weren't our only unfriendly encounter. In a strange, unprovoked act of malevolence, a guy in a truck tried to spit at us. When Brandon waved after he spit, the guy uttered a string of obscenities. To make this situation even more unusual, the man was in the middle of a bench truck seat and had to reach over another guy to spit on the stroller. Thankfully, he missed. Apparently, he doesn't like babies. Honestly, who would lean out of a truck to spit on a stroller?

We ate at Subway and then indulged our sweet tooth by drinking malts from an ice cream shoppe in Centersburg.

Tonight we are camping close to Galena, Ohio, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Link. Mrs. Link gave us pasta salad and absolutely huge slices of delicious watermelon. Mr. Link is treating us to McDonald's breakfast in the morning. We appreciate their hospitality.
