Diversion turned out well
Was planning to head to southern Illinois, but fog prevented that from occurring. Instead, headed up to Janesville to get some brunch. The onsite restaurant has tasty food and exceptional service. They mention their 'homemade toast' a bunch of times on the menu. We had a laugh about it. Then it showed up. And, you know what, it was actually worth mentioning. Homemade bread, sliced thick and toasted.
