Some scenes from the Waring General Store follow, it being one of the small towns that we passed through today on what is now being dubbed 'the hot day'.  I was in the saddle for 9 hours on this day, riding 93 miles.  The day went surprisingly quickly, due to chatting with the likes of the owner of the Waring General Store, a retired HS principal.  They have a big dance hall off of the back of the store where  a big dinner and dance is held every Saturday night.  Too bad it wasn't Saturday!  We're hoping to hit an open dance hall one of these days.  Quite a few of us like to sing and dance, me included.
