Yesterday's track meet lasted three and a half hours - for two teams - because only one event was done at a time. It was bizarre and cold.
Once the meet finally ended we drove from Shelbyville to Mattoon to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings before returning to Effingham. It's a bit out of the way, but the food is good and it's become a bit of a Tuesday tradition.
As you drive bewteen Shelbyville and Mattoon on Highway 16 you pass through Gays, Illinois, a very small town of just over 25o inhabitatns, with a peculiar landmark: the nation's first two-story outhouse (there are apparently others):
It even has an activity sign for tourists on the side of the highway that reads, "Historical Two Story Outhouse 1872." Seeing the sign, we simply had to stop by and take a look.
I suppose the Diocese has one claim to fame that few others have.
