Officer's Offer

I hadn't rolled more than an eighth of a mile from where I began when the county sheriff stopped. His offer was one I could not refuse, I could not walk on his highway in the high winds today. Then he asked me what I was doing and where I had come from. His attitude softened but his offer stood firm. So I walked back up the hill and asked permission of the Cubby's/Godfather's Pizza to park in back and spend the day. Now as the sun has set after a day where I applied a few patches and paint to the World, had a nap, listened to Prairie Home Companion on the radio I am sitting down to the Godfather's signature "Humble Pie". I thought it appropriate...Tomorrow is another day.

Saw you on the route into Omaha from Blair today (sunday). I was tempted to ask my father to pull over so that I could ask what you were doing, but there wasn't really a safe point to do so at, so I'm glad I found this site. I'm really impressed by your dedication and even though I don't know much about diabetes, I wish you luck in your travels.

I saw you on Hwy. 50 south of Omaha this morning. Looked like a State Patrol was giving you some grief. I wanted to turn around to talk to you... but I was already late for work. I imagine the going was tough today as windy as it is. Good luck World Guy!
