All this and ice cream, too!

Took off at 4:45 A.M.!!!!!  It is now 8:53 {no time change yet} and we are now on pit stop #4!  Not yet to Indianapolis!  The first was when we were in downtown Chicago!!!   Babs and I are using terms to describe Mickey's condition of frequent peeing.  Blow out means an actual accident.  Near-miss means a little too close for comfort.  (ours, not hers)  Right now we are at #4 and we are at the rest area in Lebanon, Indiana.  (1/2 tank of gas used) We are on Rte. 65 when suddenly traffic come to a complete stop.  (Good thing we had #5 right before!) Stopped one hour and Mick has to go BAD. We are on a 2 lane highway with ABSOLUTELY no exit, no privacy, etc...Twenty minutes and we just had our first Blow-Out!  Now, after just being held for two hours on the road, it is time for stop #6.  It is 2:30 (time-change in effect) about one half hour after our last stop. We just read a flashing sign informing us that Rte 64 is closed for bridgework.  That is the road we were going to take to get to Rte 75. Time to re-group.  Stop#7 occured in rest area just past Louisville, Ky.   More later.
