54/1697/2356 Cool morning start with a headwind. Wind gets stronger as the morning ages, and it is 46 miles until I turn away from the headwind. Lots of wheat again and small lakes interspersed in the wheat fields. It is Sunday morning, so not a lot of traffic, but lots of pick up trucks with boats in tow. The lakes are sometimes invisible in the rolling fields , first discernible by the darker cat tails that surround the low lying areas around the lakes. Saw an interesting site, a farmer had created a bridge across a shallow lake using old cars, trucks and farm equipment. Looked pretty nasty, lots of rust and old metal. Finally turned onto route 200 into Cooperstown with a tailwind for the last 8 miles. Quaint town and quiet on Sunday afternoon. The cafe at the motel just closed at 1:30 p so we have a choice of pizza place or getting some groceries. Looked at the pizza place and it seems to be the popular place on Sunday afternoon, lots of families doing pizza and wings after church. We decide to try the market and get a roasted chicken and veggies for the micro- microwave in the motel room. We have a easy night of cards and old movies, Urban Cowboy ( surprise) and then a Robert Ludlum thriller, Bourne Supremacy. Since we don't watch commercials at home due to TIVO, we are finding all kinds of neat stuff that we need to buy that we did not know we needed before.. Chop-0-matic, window cleaners and if we see the Lipitor heart attack guy again, he may not live much longer. There are pills getting commercials for conditions that I did not know existed, I think some conditions were developed by the drug companies because 10% of everyone watching this prime time commercial is going to think they have this condition. Tomorrow on to Fargo, last stop before Minesotta.
