As my dad and I drove the kids to meet Tonia in Grand Forks yesterday, we saw "the world guy" on highway 371. At 70 miles per hour, we were passed him before we could even discuss stopping. Within ten minutes of speculation of what that guy rolling a huge globe could be up to, Solana and Levi were begging to turn around so they could see and touch his giant earth. Another five minutes and I really wanted to stop and talk, too, but we had no extra time in the schedule. I proposed that Dad and I could take 371 back and hope to catch him then. By Grand Forks, my dad was on board. We took the long and scenic route home instead of the all-freeway route.
Of course, we didn't see the world guy on our return trip. At least we avoided the freeway until Clearwater, I still love the back roads.
World guy (AKA Erik Bendl), good luck on your mission to raise awareness of diabetes, if I pass you again I won't hesitate to stop! :)
