Between there and here..


Some things I have seen in the past two days of driving:
The car from Ghostbusters II parked in front of a house along the highway in Texas. Again no idea if it is original or something someone did as a copy.

The rice paddies of Arkansas, now I knew that rice was grown in the US, but for some reason I had never seen them until today. One thing I found interesting was that they were all in curves like you see in the pictures from the Orient. It just isn't something you expect to see in a US farm.

There were more than a few crop dusters out and about yesterday. Having them doing their flips over the highway as I drove towards them. We also got a good look at them as a field was sprayed.

Several fields were being burned of stubble to ready them for planting, and there were quite a few road side fire scars that were obviously started by thrown cigarette butts.

The clean up of a major accident, burn scars all over the place. Lots of debris all over, including the twisted remains of a horse trailer.

The amount of construction going on in Texas is unbelievable. It seems like every road we were on was being resurfaced, widened, or otherwise worked on in some way along the way.

I-40 in Arkansas isn't as bad as it was when I drove for Werner, but they did leave a section of the bumps for old times sake.
