Four days...1200+ miles...and 12 newspapers!
As I mentioned in my previous posting, a death in my extended family had me undertake a long-distance 'road trip' earlier this month. It was an unexpected event so I had very little time to prepare for the 500-mile drive to arrive in time for the funeral. To keep my previous blog promise, I finished my post on the Herman Cain campaign stop in the wee hours of the 1st and turned in for a couple of hours of sleep before heading out of town early that same morning. On the way out, I stopped for gas and liquid refreshments and picked up a copy of the local paper to compare my online work to that produced by Dayton Daily News staff writers Lynn Hulsey and Justin McClelland. Satisfied that I hit all the salient points of that visit, I cracked a smile at the register, paid for my goods, and strapped myself into the driver's seat for the long ground trek ahead.
