Day 24

Rest day! After sleeping in late and having a nice breakfast, I started wandering the streets of Fort Davis. I came across a Broom Shop with a guy, Ron Cox, who makes brooms using the machines and techniques from the 1800's. He was quite talkative and interesting to listen to. About 13 years ago, his wife told him he either needed a hobby or they would get divorced, so he took up broom making. Now he makes between 10,000 and 12,000 brooms a year and works about 50 hours a week. It made me wonder if she's still glad he got a hobby!
