   Wonderful,Julie!

    Tell them to take Highway 61 from Elizabethtown, east to
Columbia,Ky., park at the Chevron station and go behind
Wal-Mart to a white house, where shoes are sold at ridiculously low
prices.  One pound of sang will outfit the whole family and leave
enough for lunch at Sirious Coffee
House, on the Public Square.If advance notice is given, I can have
guides at each turn to cue the driver. (Just another
public service by Hermits Unlimited.)
   Good on you.

   Hermit in the Woods, singing  Squaws Along the Wabash,
or some such tribute to the great state of Indiana.
