The days are getting easier by this stage: another 350 mile day. We had a good late breakfast with Josh at the Runcible Spoon in downtown Bloomington and then hit the road to drive to Leper & Elizabeth in Oberlin, OH. Ohio is as religious as Kansas: note the Isaiah reference on the cornerstore sign, and the JESUS SAVES on the Heavenly Deligh icecream store. A pretty ride from the highway out to Oberlin, which is smaller than Ithaca: Oberlin College has about 2800 students, so about a tenth of Cornell, and without Ithaca College to keep the town numbers up. But it's a very pleasant university, and has some good food: we went to an extremely chi-chi-wannabe pan-Asian restaurant, determined to bring exotic new cuisine to the midwest: think combinations of vertical food with midwestern quantities of meat.
It was great to see Leper and Elizabeth: they have a stunning house with ceilings that must be about 22", which'll probably be under repair for next twenty years as they put in various new bits over time. So much fun, and saw some of the work Leper's been doing on ShotSpotter, which is just stunningly cool.
