Wednesday: The Trip Ends Early

Perfect day
Barry and Lynn smile
The trip ends

Haiku aside, our original five day trip was unfortunately reduced to one glorious day, as Lynn and Bill returned home on Wednesday to be with Lynn's mom who was inexplicably mugged at her assisted living home in Winston-Salem. Her purse was snatched and she was knocked down by drive-by muggers while standing outside her building. She was taken to the hospital with some pretty bad scrapes on her arm and leg and later released. Who would do such a thing? The good news is that two men were arrested shortly after it happened. It seems unbelievable she should live 80 years in Detroit with nary a mishap, only to be mugged in sweet Winston-Salem. We are thankful she was not hurt worse.

As to the unfinished great bicycle adventure: we'll be back! The sequel is being planned as I type...
