We're on our way to Carpentersville, IL just northwest of Chicago with a load of hams. Obviously, they are going to be processed further as they are literally just piled into giant cardboard bins (much like the ones you're seeing at the grocery stores right now filled with pumpkins) that are lined and covered with plastic.
We picked them up in Smithfield, which is famous for its country hams (along with lots of other pork products). Unlike "city hams" which still have the water in them, country hams are cured and then air dried. They have a very rich, intense taste; I had some for breakfast yesterday.
Anyway, this load is due for delivery on Monday morning at 9:30 so we can take our time, which is good since we're having to lug our way over the Smokey Mountains past lots of coal-mining towns. Not surprisingly, we've seen lots of billboards touting coal as a viable source of alternative energy.
