Heading across Ohio


My dad dropped me off on route to resume my trip, and I made it just east of Bowling Green last night. I won $12 at the fair playing poker. A good start to the last quarter of the trip...
I'm riding bare faced now due to a beautiful girl in Cincinnati.

Nathan,

She may be beautiful, but don't ride too fast. That girl in Cincinnati is going to clip your wings when you get back.

Great family photo. Tyler's a stud. Moms greasy eggs and bacon should carry you home.

Wing-clipping is a passive-agressive act of control and dominance, not a gracious display of respect and mutuality.

Avoid pairing up with wing-clippers. Such relationships eventually end badly.

I suppose it's better to ride bare-faced than sh**-faced!

Congrats on the $12! (Buy yourself a treat for your pending success).

September's coming quickly. Better start riding like a madman!

Nate,

Here is a trick I learned from your dad to avoid wing clipping. When you arrive back home, immediately prostrate yourself before her beauty and bow three times saying "Yes dear, Yes dear, Yes dear." This is called feigning that your wings have been already clipped. It works everytime. Her heart will soften and she will put the clippers back in the cabinet.

I am pretty sure your dad read about it in the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Tom used it with his old aunt Polly.

Keep on peddling brother. As they say down here in Tennessee, "We appreciate ya. Ya given us a lift there buddy."
