Ottawa, Ottawa County, Ohio -- No Rally

For those of you familiar with Ohio geography, when you read the caption to this, you knew right away there was something wrong. Unfortunately, we didn't in the campaign car. The schedule your correspondent received indicated that we were to head to Ottawa in Ottawa County to 135 West Main Street, Ottawa, Ohio. We dutifully followed the Mapquest directions, although it seemed terribly far from the next event. We arrived there only to find the Ted Strickland tour had been there the prior evening. Predictably, Ottawa was not in Ottawa County. The rest of the campaign was in Ottawa County, just to the northeast of where we had been in Bowling Green when we discovered we were 4 miles off course and in the city of Ottawa instead of at the appropriate event in Ottawa County. Then began the mad dash to make it to the next event. John Michael Spinelli, although tending to be a more conservative driver, in this instance showed his Italian heritage and drove the LHS as if it were a Ferrari. We made the 4 mile journey from Ottawa to the next event in more than record time. Luckily, just before your correspondent's cell phone died, he was able to get off a phone call to Lou Gentile to inform them that we would not be at the 6th stop of the day in Ottawa County, since we were in the city of Ottawa, Putnam County, over near the Indiana border. We then raced as your correspondent's cell phone died, to try to catch up again with the tour.
