90 ON 90

Thurs. 4/22 Crestview to Marianna, FL

93 miles

Not much to say about today. From hotel rode 3 miles to get to US 90 and then rode 90 miles east- 90 on 90. Long day, a bit warm but pretty great,.

I’ll catch up on some favorite quotes, old and new

*Dentally challenged man at a gas station today, “Y’all need to get motors on them things”

** Jolene when she and Judy met us at the St. Francisville ferry, “Do you have to wear those hats all day?”

***Susan B. Anthony in 1896, “I think the bicycle has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.”

****Patti talking about what it was like being home last week, “I sat in the driveway in a white plastic lawn chair and no one came out to serve me dinner.”

*****Ernest Hemingway, “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.”

And that's it for today!
