2/28/2020 Try Some Asian Pears
The backroads were rather serene, and the covered bridges did not disappoint. As the afternoon wore on and we were wearing thin, we decided to pull over for a peanut butter snack (Peanut Butter Powwerrrrr!). After being chased by someone's pack of dogs, we pulled over in a patch of shaded grass next to some corn with a house not too far away. I had just gotten my solar panel set up and was sitting down to some spoonfuls of peanut butter when a car passed, stopped, backed up, and the driver, an older gentleman, got out and came around the car. "I've got a suggestion for you, if you want it," he said cheerfully as he approached. "Oh great," we both thought, figuring his suggestion was going to be getting the hell off his property. Even though we had not yet encountered anyone so brute...paranoia still ran high in our minds. We were pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be quite the opposite. I later asked, and he said that it was not his property and with a wave of his hand assured us no one would care that we were sitting there. What a relief to my nerves! The conversation proceeded with all the usual, "where you from, where you going, where you going tonight" banter. "Do you need some water?" If you've been reading our blog at all, you know that of course yes, oh my god, do we need water.
