Public Service Announcement

I’m interrupting our trip chronology to advise you that if you ever see this van:

you should drop whatever you’re doing and order a half rack combo (which comes with baked beans an potato salad). I say order it HOT, but Jay’s quote of the day is “even the mild is what you’d expect to be the hot” so if you’re a baby like Jay go ahead and get the mild.

I also want to give a shout out to Ryan (who brings beer to the disadvantaged), Marc (who may be Mark with a “k”) and Mel (who is a lot cuter than my fourth grade teacher, Miss Reid). If you’re smart you won’t try to take Toledo on your own when you can hook up with these three and discover Frito Pies and other local highlights which I will detail later.  Stay tuned for notes from the Art Tatum Jazz Fest, but first I’ll need to post Day 2.
