We left the hotel at 8:30 this morning heading to Dolgeville. Ran over something on the road on the NY Thruway going to Pauls. Lots of people checking their tires at the Rest Area since they all hit it too. Got to Paul's shortly after 1. Talked to Andrea beforehand then met Paul outside his greenhouse. It was a fun time. He said he will close this Fall if he does not get Natural Gas installed. Those old glass houses heated with oil are just not efficient. This is all too bad and would be a loss for the violet world. Left thre around 4 stopping in front of the Post Office to get a picture. Took an interesting road after lunch in McDonalds in Little Falls, NY. We went over hill and dale in a very scenic route straight down to get to I-88. Once on 88 it was high speed all the way to our hotel in Clark Summit. Had some trouble with Visa but got our card unlocked over the phone. Went down the street to a fantastic pizza and beer. They had Yuengling, we ordered a mushroom pizza which was very very good.
