Mile 20335, Dear Kentucky, do forgive me for not paying Lexington a proper visit; I desired to see Berea and the Kentucky Artisan Center for the first time.

I have to grant you Kentucky, that you've built a proper manse of
limestone block for your artisan center, limestone block being as
Kentucky as thoroughbred horses and bourbon. I am excited to go inside
and regard your collection and praised your artisans. I would rather
you had built this masterpiece in downtown Berea rather than
overlooking highway. Now hear me out for I know that Kentucky people
cannot cotton to those who miss a chance of gratitude. I feel
improper visiting a place dedicated to the cleverness of Kentucky
people and getting back on the interstate again and rolling off to
Tennessee. I am sure your cafe here is fine, but I wish to take my
lunch in an older building in downtown Berea and her your locals talk.
And so I shall. I've been awaiting my visit to Berea for well nigh a
decade, and happily, I am here. Pity I have no more than an hour to
spend. But, Kentucky people have heard that story from travelers
before, some of whom had never left and put down roots,

Yours truly,
Wandering Wilbo.
