Day 9

Not a good day for our good deeds - we were shut out, but I think we are at about 14 all together and have two days left, so our goal of 15 is certainly reachable. We did have a great one done for us though. The first stop today was at George Washington's headquarters during the Revolutionary War in Morristown, New Jersey. Sometimes we learn interesting tidbits in unlikely places. For instance in a museum next to the headquarters house we saw a baby bottle used in the mid 1700s as well as a breast pump. I thought those were more twentieth century inventions. Then a few hours later we saw Hitler's Toilet in Florence, NJ. Please Google it if you find it difficult to believe. It's in Greg's Auto Repair Shop and is the only toilet there. When people offer to buy it Greg tells them only if they replace the toilet and all the plumbing used for German fixtures. He would be fine with that as long as he has a toilet. We ate early, drank a lot of water, and saved up for our trip there so we could make a "contribution." Greg also told us a Philadelphia radio station had just called to interview him and he mentioned that he was expecting two guys to visit - we had called earlier. He told us we have the record for the farthest trip to see the toilet - I guess he thought we drove from Atlanta just to see a madman's toilet.
In between those two trips was when the good deed was done for us. We stopped in Point Pleasant, NJ for a little over an hour to visit with Doug Walsh - a wrestler Pee Wee coached 21 years ago. He owns 2 restaurants and demonstrated his cooking skills on us with an awesome and welcome home cooked meal.
We are staying tonight in Frederick, Maryland and plan to make an early tour of the Harper's Ferry, WV area tomorrow. We've heard from two or three people we've talked to on this trip about what a great place it is to visit. I would imagine it will be an improvement on Hitler's Toilet.
