Jennerstown

I woke this morning to the Roadway complimentary breakfast: blueberry muffins, blueberry bagels, blueberry cream cheese - well you get the idea. This blue morning, however, did nothing to dampen my spirits for I knew what was coming! I headed out, ice on my windshield, to find the lovely township of Jenner, PA. So I left the moving conveyer belt that is I-70 and drove onto the roller coaster ride of US 30. The ups and downs were steep enough to pop ears and flip stomachs but the views were of farmland and forest with cows and horses thrown in for effect. Truly I did not know the meaning of brown until I came to Pennsylvannia in November. And then there it was - my quest had ended.

Those that know me can get the joke about the speed limit - suffice to say that even with the threat of overrule I felt at home once I saw Les' Sandwich and Ice Cream Shop just down the road from Dusty's Quick Stop. Feelings of family were near and dear and short lived as the township straddles the road for a mere 1.7 miles.

So the day went with miles rolling by, jazz on the radio, and lemonade by the cupful. I got out for a stretch just as the rain started and the sun set. Somewhere in Ohio a technology company felt the need to differentiate itself my planting a field of 5 foot tall concrete corn cobs. A stab at corporate branding or a prophecy for the future of bio engineered food?
