We pulled off I-57 at Dix only to find that the antique shop no longer exists. Back on the road, up to speed, and two minutes later a white Explorer flies by in the passing lane. I noted a Purdue logo on the right rear quarter-panel, then espied a Texas license plate. "It's your granddaughter!" I shouted. Quickly overtook them, slowed again. As they passed the next time, honked and got their attention. Five minutes later, we pulled into Mt. Vernon where the five of us had a nice visit at Arby's. (The manager did not kick us out, but allowed that we were a little loud!)
They back on the road toward Texas, we checked into hotel. Looking forward to reunion tomorrow!

What are the chances? One in ...?
Pretty long odds, Vee. And if we hadn't pulled off at Dix; and if we had taken 20 seconds longer to turn around and head back to the highway...
