The People We Met Today 3/20/07

Itinerary from today: Hannibal-Brunswick-Kansas City.
Today's group of people was much nicer than yesterday.
1. Farmer James and his wife. They ran the giant pecan place. Julie scared them, but we kept talking and it got better. He even did part of his little show for us.It was almost awkward, but he was so genuine.
2. Klay, the cook turned waiter at the Brunswick diner. He hated being a waiter but was very nice.
3. The main office woman at the hotel for tonight, the Howard Johnson Motel. She wasnt so much nice as she was completely unconcerned.
4. The people in the record store. They too were unconcerned, but I guess the guy gave Julie a look of contempt when she bought her CD. All three of us got cds.
5. The woman at the herbs and crystals store. They had salt petre there (!) but I didn't pick any up. I should have. Wen asked about salvia, we learned that salvi divinorum is illegal in the state of Missouri. She thought we might be interested in wiccanism, possibly because Julie asked if they did readings and I threw a fit over the fact that they had salt petre. This is the only woman/person whom Julie didn't weird out with her outburst.
6. The two girls who ran the Y J snack bar. It wasn't actually a snack bar. They had dinner, and that is where we ate. It was worth the driving around lost for a half hour plus. They reminded me of the ditty bops, and made tasty foods.
