Rough Night

After a nice Greek lunch in Columbus with Ding's Marine buddy Rob, we successfully manuevered eastern Ohio and West Virginia before I was struck with first medically recorded case of RTSD - rubber traumatic stress disorder in booming Rostraver, Penn. (dare you to find on map - confluence of I-70 and State Route 51). Just as we are departing the local Getgo - where we purchased the necessary super decoder transponder star trek piece of #$%^& for the state's tollways - a stealthy curb claimed three tires AND wheels. I watched the horror unfold from my Ram navigation perch. Alas, as lovely as the Pennsylvania landscape is, so, too, are its residents. Better part of local citizenry rallied to cause, particularly a wonderful fellow named George Smouse. We will be rolling in an hour. 45 hours until rally in N.H. starts!
