tracker7One of the sights seen along I-65 Saturday morning was a small school bus, garishly painted, with "Trump Train 2020" proudly showing on the sides. I thought, well, that's appropriate since this is just completely off the rails.
There was more of this to come.
I was in and out of the train show in about 30 minutes. Found a couple of models from my wish list and headed back out. Good timing on my part, arriving as early as I did. The show's organizers were doing good crowd control, and I didn't have to wait to get inside. When I left, though, there was a line at least 50 deep.
The Canyon ate up the miles along 65 and the Parkway, as is the pickup's nature. Exited at Columbia and rolled up 206. Saw more than a few magat banners, and some houses proudly flying inverted US flags on the same pole as traitor's rags, magat flags, thin blue line flags - one with the US flag below all of the others. Gods, these people.
Good time with the family. Enjoyed the company and the quiet. A healthy recharge. Mom's had her first vaccine dose; Dad hasn't seen the first sign of a side effect.
US127 was lined with shipping containers, all with banners advertising a recovery company. There are a few buildings that are going to come down and get rebuilt. Haven't heard about anything closing for good, but I won't be surprised if it happens.
The Ohio is receding. River Road reopened Wednesday afternoon, and I think all of the county's roads are cleared now. One family has gotten some closure, for whatever value that has. A kid went kayaking on the Ohio back in January and, well, didn't come back. His kayak turned up near the McAlpine lock; his body was finally found this week - in Evansville, Indiana. About 185 miles, river distance, downstream from here.
