My grandfather is from Aberdeen, SD, and again, by sheer accident, I ended up going through Aberdeen. Aberdeen is a bit more exiting than Selby.

I was inspired on this day to take the time to record how my body was feeling. I'll let my journal speak for itself:

My muscles never ache. My thighs, calves, whatever other muscles in my legs, all fine. All of the ache and pain is in my joints. My knees ache so much. My elbows are suffering. Aside from that, my butt is so sore. Today, it started peeling. My hands have gone numb. Some of my fingers, centered around the ring finger of each hand, are constantly tingling. I cannot fully close my hands. My grip strength is pathetic. I keep my money and ID etc. in a binder clip. I can no longer open the binder clip with my fingers. If I buy something, I have to put the clip on the counter and press it down with my palm.

In Aberdeen, you can have a magnificent steak dinner for less than ten dollars, including, a salad, loaf of bread, baked potato, texas toast etc. I felt like a king.
