“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.” (-Helen Keller)

Well, I am just now posting for the day because my travels have served up another adventure.

I had a weekend that consisted of a pitch-dark room and hallways at my hotel in Wooster, Ohio! The fierce 75 mph winds that were the residual remnants of Ike passing through the state came with a vengeance. No lights, no TV, no computer, but lots and lots of wind.

Trees were down today everywhere, and I had to detour several times on my trip through the state to my next destination.

It reminded me of the felled trees during Hurricane Fran in North Carolina some years ago.

Finally, tonight, I have power again, and I’m appreciating it all the moreso for having missed it this weekend! Onward…

On the road I passed an Amish family and my heart went out to them braving the elements as I drove on.

“We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character.” (-Henry David Thoreau)
