24 Sep<\/p>\n
Hooray!<\/p>\n
It looks like I\u2019ve succeeded in setting up a blog. Thus I\u2019ve outflanked the insurmountable difficulties in compressing and emailing my many photos.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/blamming.wordpress.com\/<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve got my long Missouri letter posted, in two parts, interspersed with a few dozen photos.<\/p>\n Read \u201cPresent Moment\u201d first \u2013 it\u2019s at the bottom of my page \u2013 and \u201cRetrospective\u201d after that.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve spent most of the day in Yellville now \u2013 first at the public library, then when they closed at 2 p.m., I moved up the road to the Front Porch Restaurant, where my kind librarian, Anita, also works as a waitress. She told me there\u2019s free wifi here, where I could continue my work. She also sympathized over how maddening computer technology can be.<\/p>\n So I finished up my work at last. The blog spot is rudimentary, but I can spiff it up later. Meanwhile, it\u2019ll serve well enough as a way of posting my journal and pictures.<\/p>\n This is a big hurdle for me to clear. Now at last I can concentrate more on my cycling.<\/p>\n All I have to do is finish my sandwich and get out of here.<\/p>\n I find myself sobbing again at a restaurant table as I look at that picture of me and Tom together, almost two weeks ago now, while listening through my ear buds to Sissel\u2019s interpretation of \u201cShenandoah,\u201d with the nice instrumentals and deeply lyrical words about crossing that great River in the heartland of my country, where both Tom and I grew up, and where we\u2019ve both returned, albeit in different modalities and at different stages of our respective journeys.<\/p>\n Maybe I can still crank out another ten miles today. The sky is steely gray and it\u2019s cool \u2013 at least here in the restaurant, as I look out the window at Hwy 62.<\/p>\n I expect rain tomorrow but don\u2019t much care. I\u2019m so glad I\u2019ve got the problem with my photos and journal postings under control. That\u2019s progress enough for today.<\/p>\n Next major stop is Jonesboro, where Cascade Designs has shipped a new rain fly for my tent. By Monday or Tuesday, it ought to be waiting for me at an outdoor store in the center of town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 24 Sep Hooray!
