July 1 - Gray and Blue


On


the


Indiana


border,


and


soon


over


into


Ohio,


coursing


across


to


increased


relief,


across the


River briefly


into


West


Virginia,


then


back


to


old


Pennsylvania --


the


Turnpike,


roller-


coastering


and


eventually


vaulting


above


and


tunnelling


through


the


Alleghenies,


downslope


amidst


the



sinuous


Ridge-


and-


Valley


System:


Rays


and


Sidling


Hills,


a


plaza


stop


and


on


to


Tuscarora


and


Kittatinny /


Blue


Mountains,


the


great


expanse


towards


the


Susquehanna,


more


intimate


ups-and-downs


to


Downington /


Exton,


202 South, Baltimore Pike,


and ultimately to


Bette and


George's: a wonderful rendezvous, dinner chez lui,


settling


into


accomodations, matters hilarious and practical, with more relatives arriving late.


High Richmond (Indiana) 80, Concord (Pennsylvania) 83, back home 87 -- on the 67th day of summer...
