Yesterday’s destination was Burton, OH which is about 30 miles east of Cleveland. According to Wikipedia, an incident in 1972 in Burton led to a US Supreme Court case –
“Hugo Zacchini performed a human cannonball act at Burton’s annual Geauga County Fair and WEWS-TV recorded and aired the entire act against his wishes and without compensating him, as was required by Ohio law. In Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard Broadcasting Co., the high court ruled in 1977 that the First Amendment did not shield the broadcaster from liability from common law copyright claims.”
If all goes to plan, John should pass through Pennsylvania and make it to western New York later today.
