KELLY JO BOWMAN, ANOTHER OF MY PRETTY NIECES WHO PLAYED HOST TO
MOTORCYCLE VAGABONDS. THIS IS THE YOUNG LADY WHO IS BEING STALKED
BY SHAWN OF THE DEAD..... HMMMMmmmmmmm


A ROSE BETWEEN TWO THORNS. MARK LOGSDON, KELLY JO BOWMAN AND TOM LOGSDON. TOM'S BROTHER TIM
WAS MY HOST IN PHOENIX. I WAS ABLE TO MEET WITH TOM AT THE "FRESCO" RESTAURANT WHERE WE HAD
ALMOST NOTHING.


ON THE WAY TO DOWNTOWN CHICAGO WE WERE STOPPED BY A RAILROAD FLASHER AND GATE. THIS IS THE
REASON. NOTICE THAT THE TRAIN IS SOMEWHAT BLURRED IN THE PHOTO. HE WAS GOING VERY FAST - 70 MPH?


THESE WERE THE KINDS OF HOMES THAT WERE IN EVIDENCE ALONG THE ROUTE TO CHICAGO. WE PASSED
BOTH RACINE AND KENOSHA, WISCONSIN BEFORE HITTING THE NORTH ILLINOIS BORDER. THIS IS ONLY ONE
EXAMPLE OF THE IMPRESSIVE LIVING QUARTERS THAT WERE TO BE SEEN.


LAKE MICHIGAN JUST SOUTH OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CRISP DAY.


FOR ALL OF YOU BICYCLE ENTHUSIASTS IT IS ALWAYS PRUDENT TO LOCK YOUR BIKE, REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT
IS AT. IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN PHOTOS OF THE AMAZON THAT DEPICT THE LIFE CYCLE OF PIRHANNA, THIS IS
MINDFUL OF THE BUFFALO THAT GETS EATEN ALIVE WITHIN SECONDS BY THE VORACIOUS APPETITES OF THOSE
LITTLE CREATURES. HERE, TOO, THE STREET PIRHANNAS HAVE CLEARED ALL THE "MEAT" OFF OF THE BONES OF
THIS POOR VEHICLE, LEAVING NOTHING BUT A LOCKED UP FRAME.


NOT TOO LONG AFTER MARY LEFT FOR A BETTER OFFER, BOB HAD ASKED ME FOR SOMETHING OF HERS TO
REMEMBER HER WITH. I GAVE HIM ONE OF THE HEADSCARVES THAT SHE WORE WHILE UNDERGOING TREATMENT.
BOB BROUGHT IT ALONG AS A SYMBOLIC REMINDER OF THE PLANNING THAT WENT INTO THE TRIP, THE LOSS OF
A CLOSE FRIEND, AND THE HOPE THAT IN SOME SMALL WAY, THE TRIP HAS BEEN HELPFUL IN ERADICATING THIS
TERRIBLE AFFLICTION FROM THE LEXICON OF MEDICAL SCIENCE.
