The Boonville Daily News

Yesterday I made it onto the front cover of the local paper; The Boonville Daily News (3 photos!). I've gotten a number of responses from people who have read the article or heard me on the local radio program. Many people have emailed me and even more have said hi to me at the local bar or on the street. One guy, wanting to help support my travels, handed me a twenty dollar bill at my new favorite bar, WJs. I said "no, thank you" but I was secretly hoping he would offer it to me again (I have a two "thank you but I can't" rule, after two it's all mine). He did offer again and I said no, again. An hour later, after walking out of the bathroom, I found my new friend was gone but a $20 bill laid waiting for me in his stead. Go Pirates!
