I did the August history walk today
I felt fine. One of the people said that if I could do the walk with two stents implaced Monday, they could do the walk just fine.
We got caught by a train. It was about a 15 minute wait, but eventually the train cleared the crossing. The good thing is no train whistle because the city has quiet zones.
I like when people ask me questions for which I don't have an answer. I have to ask Wendy where and how the city got the Lincoln Highway markers by the visitor's center.
Every time I do the walk I learn something. Today I learned the Rochelle Bottling Company bottled a product for Pepsi before moving the operation to Rockford.
It was really a nice night, not hot, not windy, pleasant all around.
But I admit I am tired of talking. Seems I talk more every time I do this.
A couple of people said I knew more about Rochelle history than they did, and they have lived here their whole lives.
I don't think that is true.....but it was nice of them to say.
Two more walks to go..... hope I don't run out of jokes.
