Happy Cinco de Mayo. Okay, as promised: two or three weeks ago, while I was working in the Chattanooga area, three East Ridge, TN squad cars pulled up behind me as I was checking a gas leak on a gas main beside the road. This was a little bit unusual to say the least. I thought for a moment they were there because I was parked in the road, and was working in the road, and they were there to offer some sort of protection. WRONG!! Someone had called the cops on me. I have to snoop around houses, hunting gas meters on homes I have never been to before. The gas company provides us no information whatsoever, so I have to check out every house myself. Well...someone didn't like me in their yard I guess, so here comes the cavalry. It all turned out okay though. I showed them my ID and they called the gas company. Five minutes of a little tension (no guns were drawn, but they all had one) and they were on their way. It wasn't really that big a deal, but it was the first time more than one squad car had shown up to check me out.
Movin' on. We are in Tullahoma, TN. We came here on Friday the fourth. Someday we are supposed to go to Indiana, but who knows when. The walking regime has resumed. We have had a bit of a setback, but things are improving and Valda & I are looking ahead. By the way, once everything is set in motion, we will be offering opportunities to sponsor me on my walk across America. Hopefully we will have information where you can pledge so much per mile to either the Cancer Society or the Diabetes Society. There will also be opportunities to direct sponsor me if you want. More later as things progress.
