If I could think of some more cliches' I'd use them too!
Thinking about the whole saga in its entirety you're right . . . nobody wants a cake that's all icing . . . that would be sickening.
And, as you point out, there have been many pluses on this journey, among them was meeting up with the good folk of Billings and Perry in Oklahoma, with the bus itself being the catalyst.
And the trip across Route 66 to California with two of these Billings' Okies.
Also the meetings with CHR members on our last trip . . . along with the opportunity to host Roger and Susan Spears when they visit NZ next year.

So yes; this cake has had icing on it.


It's just that some people get so far up your nose they lift your hat.
