We’ve traveled to Findlay, Ohio where we had some electrical work done on our motor home. Carl Stein at Traucht Electric here donated his time to replace a spent cylinoid and rewire a master thingamabob, or something. (Our Joseph, 8, then spent the rest of the day trying to take the old cylinoid apart — grease and dirt everywhere<\/em>.) Carl is a quite active member of the Knights of Columbus, that is when he’s not giving eight-year-olds spent cylinoids… Note: In Traucht Electric’s lobby there was the following saying: “When you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s hard to know when you’re finished.” [My wife Liz has occasionally made similar comments in relation to some of my speeches.]… We then went across town to the “Sign Shack” where we put some new signage on the “average Joe” mobile.” My wife Liz put on the big vnyl letters to: “Back Road to the White House Tour.”<\/strong> When she finished, I said our next step should be to put a megaphone on the roof to play the “average Joe” theme song over as we drove into a town. She said: “Good.” Several years ago, she wouldn’t have said “good” — but rather she would have blushed, and said something to the affect of: “Do you really think that’s a good idea, honey?” She’s actually become quite the campaigner of late… As we were finishing up at the sign shop, we met Terry Redick, owner of “Terry’s Drive-In” in nearby Arlington, (pop. 800). He saw the signage on the motor home and asked about it. “I’m running for president as an independent candidate.” His immediately reply was: “I once fed President Clinton.” Terry said in 1995 Clinton was running for re-election and made a “whistle-stop” in Arlington to give an afternoon talk at the town park. Terry catered (chicken, cole slaw, potatoes and “the best homemade ice cream”). He said afterward, Mr. Clinton and his daughter Chelsea were walking toward the train and picked up a couple box lunches before he boarded. The train then started down the track, stopped — and began backing up. When it stopped, a secret service man motioned for Terry to come forward. He explained President Clinton had tried the chicken and ice cream, said it was the best he’d eaten anywhere in the country, and wondered if he could: get some more. Terry said this made Associated Press <\/em>stories all over the U.S. the next day. And in the following months, people from Michigan, Indiana and southern Ohio would travel to his small place in Northwestern, Ohio (“…with coolers”) to get some of Terry’s chicken and homemade ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
