Box 15, Bluffton, Ohio 45817). Yesterday was just a great<\/em> “backroads of Ohio” day on Rts. 68 and 235. A few vignettes: I was interviewed by the Xenia Daily Gazette <\/em>in the morning, then headed north to Yellow Springs where I stumped on the main street there. Barber Greg Hasser said his shop had been broken into twice, once after he even installed metal bars on his back window. “Those guys (presidential candidates) are talking about protecting our borders… and I can’t even protect my back window,” he half smiled. In St. Paris (pop. 2,000 “…counting the dogs and cats”), Tom’s Varsity Barber Shop owner (my day for barbers) Tom Roush has the place filled, absolutely filled<\/em>, with sports memorabilia. He said his favorite is a basketball former Indiana University coach Bobby Knight had signed for him. I then went to Rosewood, Ohio and talked to the Rosewood Grocery and General Store owner about supporting local business. After putting up a flyer in Rosewood (my response to the million dollar adds), I headed to DeGraff, Ohio where a man playing the ukelele on the main street there, stopped playing, looked up and hollered “Go Joe!” <\/strong> In Quincy, Ohio I talked to Sue and Bill Weiskittle, who had just returned from a trip to Marion, Ohio to see the “Moving (Vietnam Memorial) Wall.” Bill had been in the service and said to me that the news media seldom focuses on the good things that are happening in Iraq, like the kids going to school, the women having more rights… The Weiskittle’s daughter told me she’d seen a piece about our campaign on Channel 7 News out of Dayton and wanted to wish me “luck.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
