Erie, PA

Nothing to eat at Erie either. More vending machines. Erie, though, is more beautiful. Farm country. Still fertile.

American smal towns are kind of gritty. A group ex-cons -- just released -- are going with us .. well except for one. Three cop cruisers pulled in at the last moment and arrested one of them, Oscar in the Green Tweed suit. Found a screwdriver on him, apparently.

Attitudes are different here too. The driver just gave two near-identical speeches about "the four Federal Laws regulating your ride on the Greyhound." He also warned us repeatedly not to knock on the "security barrier" -- the flappy plexiglass shell around his seat that looked like it is stuck in place with superglue. Service employees seem to be continously on edge.

Stopped at McDonald's and grabbed a Big Mac. Mmmmm..... taste so good after not eating for 12 hours.....

Still hungry.

I guess I am having breakfast with eddy.
