Learning 8: Procter and Gamble

  We're in Cincinnati.  Husbandman leaves today from this very city.  He's going to Europe for a week---Vienna and Paris.  We had the most wonderful dinner last night at Nicola's.  You should go there.   Yesterday, before our feast, I learned about Greensburg Indiana and their historic tower tree.  Then I read 2 historic plaques while walking to the restaurant.  Procter and Gamble has been based here for a long time, since 1837!  One made soap, the other made candles.  They got together and there you go.  Also read a plaque about the courthouse riots.  Didn't learn why the people were rioting, but it was a tough time and about 200 people died. Today we're going to see a Patti Smith exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum.  We are nervous about our upcoming trip to Israel.  So much to do, so I'm not sure it was a great idea for Husbandman to travel to Europe right now, but I'm not bringing that up with him, out of courtesy.
