Feeling welcome in Corning, NY

In the morning the security guard looked at the clouds and said no rain. Kazuo says no rain. Sue said no rain. Harold stops in a local bakery, they say, no rain. So when it starts raining right before we get to the dealer, Harold and I don't stop for rain gear, Kazuo and Kyoko do, Jay follows us. Jay does not have a windscreen, so by the time we reach the dealer, Jay is completely soaked. Really nice dealer party. Music, street party, pork sandwiches, baked beans, and salted potatoes. Many helpful locals around. Feeling better about the east, New York state is so nice. And Corning NY is a very nice little city.
