Tim was up this way to go to a home coming football game with his son and decided it might be fun to detour through Fort Wayne on the way home. We spent a couple hours at the Military Museum north of town. Here are some shots of us as we wandered through the museum. I didn't take any of him while I was driving to show how paled he was. But we won't talk about the issues I had driving him about the Fort Wayne area. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteThis is where we had dinner Monday evening.
This is that restaurant you were telling me about - hope you guys had fun:)
ReplyDeletegreat pictures thanks
ReplyDeleteThe driving issues were fundamentally cultural issues. Apparently Mary hasn't been a Hoosier long enough to understand that Hoosiers by and large STOP at red lights and GO on green. Other than having to double up on my digitalis and stopping at a auto repair place to put jumper cables on my pacemaker it was fine. I"m not exactly sure how she will get my fingerprint impressesion off her dash board, they seem imbeded pretty deeply and I'm sure a good body shop will be able to put a patch over the hold in the floor where I kept trying to apply a brake pedal that wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteYou were a good sport Tim as far as my driving. I am usually not that bad so must have been pre occupied with your interesting conversation.
ReplyDeleteThe only really scary one was when I turned right on red in front of that one car and as you pointed out if he had not switched lanes into my lane at the last minute like that there would not have been all that horn honking and tire screeching.
ReplyDeleteThe three yellow lights I rushed after dinner were really in my judgement safer than stopping at a red light in that area of town. We had to pass through an area I tend to avoid after dark.
ReplyDeleteAnd that one intersection where I stopped and backed up was really, you must admit, confusing.
ReplyDeleteSo other than those incidents and getting lost a few times, I think I did a good job as tour guide, don't you?
