Day 22

Day 22
This has to be the most beautiful day we’ve had. Hard to say that because there have been so many, but the day started cool (that’s ok) and following that there was not a cloud in the sky and very little breeze. PERFECT.

We had a new situation to deal with: Illness. That’s right; Tim woke up with a cold (thought he felt hot the night before and then cool and then hot again). We stayed put and had him stay in bed all day which he did. He slept all afternoon: WOW. Tonight he feels much better. Whew! 
So, Mike and I rode down the highway east and then back. Then went for a walk. We put on some good miles without much forward progress. 

Sidenote: When Mike and I rode past the local school the teachers were picketing. School hasn’t started yet and there were no cars in the lot, etc., so seemed kinda lame, but whatever (Chad). Anyhow, we stopped and asked a teacher striking what they were striking about - he said too many students in the class, too many special needs kids in each class, and not enough money! He said the supreme court has already approved all of this but the government hasn’t acted. I said good luck, my wife used to be a teacher and he immediately said, “where did she teach?” I said we are from Wisconsin and he laughed and said then you understand. ?????
I don’t.

Scenery change - we are now out of the mountains (for awhile anyway).
