Ha!
I made it to the Cookie Lady's...the climb was difficult but short, and I made steady 2.3 mph progress.
Unfortunately, my EVDO wireless modem is still fotzed as a result of Verizon's again screwing up my electronic payment and shutting off the service back on the 2nd. The service has been restored, but I won't be able to reactivate the modem until I reach Verizon's Enhanced Network in Lexington the day after tomorrow. Unlike the Red Carpet Inn, there's no landline here for dial-up, so I'm using Quick2Net at 25 cents a minute.
Which means I wrote this offline and then cut-n'-pasted it as quickly as possible. There will be a more extensive post (with photos, epiphanies, and dumplings) in a day or two.
