Maybe there’s a walkway under the Hudson too.

On the way back we detoured onto Route 44 where all
the businesses are. We passed a place called the “Beer Cave,”
and I wanted to stop and do some spelunking but it was
time for lunch so we stopped at the diner instead. Every-

you can order and pay for your food without ever eating it.
Nothing much happened so I went inside and pointed the
phone at somebody who was sitting near the counter, and

please feel free to stay home. ere’s only one way out of this
mess and that’s to have the smallest iota of common sense.

we lost on the bike ride. You can ask for just about anything
