DAY #2...368 MILES (1003)

AT 6:30 A.M. THIS MORNING, THE CRAZY MOUSE WAKES ME UP AND ASK ME IF I'M GOING TO SLEEP ALL DAY. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS CRAZY RODENT THINKING ABOUT? I LOOK OVER AND HE HAS THIS BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE LIKE HE'S PROUD OF GETTING THE CAT UP SO EARLY.

THEN HE GETS IN THE BATHROOM AND WON'T LET ME IN.

BEING AS THOUGH I WAS AWAKE, I WENT AHEAD AND STARTED GETTING READY. LEAVING AROUND 8:30 A.M., WE BOTH HEADED EAST, ME CHASING THE MOUSE. WE WENT BY NUMEROUS FIELDS OF CORN AND BEANS, AND THEN LATER WE WENT BY SOME FIELDS OF BEANS AND CORN. WE CROSSED THE INDIANA STATE LINE, AND I LET THE MOUSE USE MY CAMERA TO TAKE MY PICTURE. HE ACTUALLY DID A GOOD JOB, CONSIDERING ALL HE COULD THINK ABOUT WAS FINDING SOME CHEESE TO EAT.

WE FINALLY FOUND A PLACE THAT HAD REALLY GOOD FOOD, AND THE OUTSIDE WALLS OF THE BUILDING WERE COVERED WITH USED CHEWING GUM.

WE ARRIVED IN COLUMBUS, OHIO A DAY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. I TELL YOU WHAT.......YOU GIVE THIS MOUSE SOME CHEESE, AND YOU CAN'T SLOW HIM DOWN. WHO KNOWS WHERE HE'LL LEAD ME TOMORROW.....

CHECK BACK AND SEE.

THE CAT (MOTOR MIKE)

P.S. IF ANYONE READING THIS NEEDS A MOTEL IN THE PICKERINGTON, OHIO AREA, EXIT 110 OFF OF I-70 HAS A NICE SUPER 8. VERY REASONABLE AND CLOSE TO THE MUSEUM........
