A Trip Through Rural America

Having plenty of trepidation about crossing the Bay Bridge, esp now that there's a big hole in the retaining wall, I decided to go to the Delmarva Shorebirds game by going north, then taking back roads through the Eastern Shore and Delaware to Salisbury. This led to adventures, including a bridge almost as scary as the Nice Bridge, directional challenges, etc. but mostly it was a rare venture through a part of the world that's still very rural. Some thoughts (and if you live in a rural area, you may take offense, read at your own risk):

Play Ball

As there was a rare rain-free forecast for the weekend (and surprisingly mild temps for August in Maryland) I overdid on the baseball. And the driving. 400 miles in one weekend is a bit rough on sore back and shoulders, plus I found a few new muscles to be all achy. But the weather was peachy and for the most part the autographs were plentiful.
