The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

THE LAST DITCH

Some of the tour's supporters were concerned about last night's post. I am pleased to report that, following a flurry of emails between Oregon, London and New Jersey overnight that the tour is back on track. I have to sacrifice only 5 days to get Speranza back to London in time and there is a fall-back plan in place in case of any delays in shipping.

So we will, deo violenti, take the chequered/checkered flag in Liberty Park near Bayonne, NJ on Sunday 23rd June. This still means sacrificing most of California, but I can now still spend time with friends I am hoping to see en route and continue to proceed at my planned – already not so leisurely, but thoroughly-enjoyable – pace.

    Thank goodness. California will keep for another visit, perhaps not with Speranza but there will be lots of muscle cars for hire next time. I hope that’s not an insult to Speranza, comparing her to a muscle car, although we all know she is in a higher class.

    Some of Speranza’s best friends are muscle cars. As for me, I like Mozart’s music, but also Bruce Springsteen’s.
