When last seen, this intrepid reporter was wending his way east, heading to Pilgrim Country as a soon-to-be-elected Lincoln-wannabe was scouring the country in pursuit of a mandate. I was intending to video the salt of the earth in time to boost that Honest Abe effort, but that, too, didn’t quite pan out.
