Wednesday 2nd September.

First stop was fuel, then one of the local banks for advice, (very helpful too, seeing as we’re not customers of theirs) then a liquor store, where I asked the man what his best dark beers were.
“Black Butte Porter, and Founder’s Dirty Bastard.”
‘’Right, I’ll take a half dozen stubbies of each.”
I’ll try one tonight.

On to Swope’s Vintage Car Museum, 1100 Nth Dixie Ave.
Found it this time, and spent about an hour and a half there.
About sixty cars there, mainly from the early twenties to the mid sixties.
I’d rate it about an 8.5…well worth a detour.

Okay…truckin/; on to Louisville…the grass is green for this time of year, and there’s plenty of it…although we saw very little livestock the pasture itself suggested it being grazed by cattle.
Also a bit of cropping and a lot of fallow land; American farmers don’t seem as clued up as the Kiwi cockies when it comes to rotational grazing. I’ve not seen much evidence of laneways or races.
On to a Mexican Restaurant called Gustavo’s in the town of Crestwood, where, after Bob Parmenter’s suggestion, I thought I might try another traditional Mexican dish.
Tamales…umm…no, too much pastry-type stuff.
But I’ve tried them, I don’t dislike them; but they’re not my cup o’ soup,

The owner is a bit of a character, bloody nice bloke, and once he knew we came from Godzone we could hardly shut him up!
He badly wants to come to New Zealand, and I’d love to see him come…a fella like that would be welcome at our place.
(Although we sometimes got out tires wangled; with him speaking Mexican American and us speaking Kiwi English…but the messages got through! I think,)

And on to…Premium Outlets, 400 Premium Outlets Drive, Monroe, 45050.
A plaza devoted entirely to factory shops.
Not my idea of fun afternoon…but Rosie and Rick enjoyed it…and if they enjoyed it; then that’s all good with me.
I sat in the car and read my book; and I enjoyed that.

Okay…so it’s approaching 5 o’clock…let’s lookfo r a motel…so here we are in a Super 8 Dayton South, Miamisburg OH and the interweb works!
All good,

USAF Museum to-morrow!
