Our Travels
It's interesting the things you see when traveling. If you live in a certain area, you tend to get used to things in that area, even things that are unusual or even down right weird! Or maybe it's just that these things are unusual to ME, that's why I find then so interesting.
For example, while driving through Arkansas today I saw a few things I had never seen before. Mind you these were not things that are by nature only going to be in Arkansas, maybe they are other places too that I have never been.
I saw a sign for a "Baskin Robbins (31 Flavors) that had a deli... I have been to 31 Flavors in lots of places, but I have never seen them sell anything other than ice cream or ice cream related products.
The next thing I saw was a little more odd, at least to me. I saw advertised on a billboard in Arkansas a buffet at... KFC!! I didn't stop, so I have no way of knowing if it was good or not. A second billboard for the buffet said they had "over 30 items" to choose from. I know KFC doesn't usually have that many choices, so I must admit there is a small part of me that wishes I would have stopped just to see what KFC had to offer on the buffet line.
Then there was my favorite place in Arkansas, Toad Suck Park. Really! Here's the link to the website: http://www.swl.usace.army.mil/parks/toadsuck/index.htm
It's a real place. I Didn't bother to read and find out why it's called Toad Suck, I just find it funny!
Now for those that think I'm picking on Arkansas, I don't mean to. I'm sure I'll find more things tomorrow in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico to laugh at.
