I passed the Winona station today. Three of the docks were empty --
the most empty docks I've taken note of. Probably about ten docks
total.


Passed again today, and the bikes had been picked up.

And then the dime dropped: the press release referred to the two
stations in Warsaw: twenty bikes.

Sometimes it's hard to remember that these are two separate towns. The
eastern shore of Eagle Lake was a long way from Warsaw when the Byer
brothers started Spring Fountain Park as a place for people from
Chicago to get out of the heat. The train stopped on the overpass to
let the Boys Club get off and walk to what is now the mountain-bike
trails, so they wouldn't have to be trucked all the way from the
Warsaw depot.

And now it's hard to tell where one town begins and the other leaves
off; the entire shore of what is now Winona Lake belongs to one town
or the other.

No telling when "today" was. Most likely Friday.
