Day 64: An Amish Lunch and a Baymont Discount

The Fool hung around the town of Loogootee waiting for the library to open at 1pm. While there, the Fool figured a way to bend the a/c cord into the cell phone at just the right angle so he could power it on. He then wrote down as many of the numbers as possible before the phone died for good. 8 miles later, the Fool had lunch at the Amish Village north of the town of Montgomery. With a belly full of mashed potatoes and corn, he then walked another 10 miles to Washington, Indiana where he checked into the Baymont Inn. He got a 10% discount on his room when the manager said to him "You're here on business, right?" while slyly winking so not to let his trainee standing behind him realize that he was indiscriminately handing out discounts. The Fool did a stuffy throat-clearing, then responded with a resounding "yes." This little charade surely tricked the 18-year old trainee into thinking that he was there for the hobo convention.
