Notes

After getting a job at JACK Casino in downtown Cleveland, then landing some tasty freelance opportunities, I felt compelled to make a few trips while I could. So I scheduled this trip to Louisville. Or as they pronounce it in Louisville, "Luavl." Took a 230am Greyhound direct and was placed in the very back in a seat by myself. It was so (comparatively) luxurious that I might pay the upcharge to choose my own seat again next time I'm on a Greyhound.

Arrived in Luavl after noon and took a moment charge my devices at a nearby McDonald's.

Brandeis School of Law was the closest, so I went there first, which was a mistake. The lie of the building (specifically the columns in front) meant that the actual gravesite had a shadow encroaching on it. If I had gotten there later in the day, I would have been completely out of the direct sun, and thus out of the big shadows.

From there went to visit John McKinley.
