Where’s Rustbelt?

Just a brief note to let readers know that I haven’t died or been abducted and sent to a secret torture chamber in Kyrgyzstan.   Along with Takin’ Care of Business, as the pictures tell, I spent some time tooling around the back roads of Ohio with my equally genealogy-nerd aunt and enjoying the time travel that is visiting nonagenarian farming relatives.  I’ve also rediscovered the charms of Greyhound riding in a Midwest summer swelter.   I’ll be heading to the Third Coast here in a few days.  The blog will resume its regular irregularity in a couple more weeks; sometime after the last line in my trilogy of Gore Vidal novels is finished and my sunburn soothes.   All this trying to relax isn’t very relaxing, but I will continue to try.  Until then, I will see you at the beach.
