Scenes from the road, Day 2

Random observations from 14+ hours of looking at the sights going by:

Best Bar Name: Whiskey The Road To Ruin (Logan, New Mexico).


Lamest Attractions:

1. Dorothy's House (As in Oz) (Liberal, Kansas). With a town name like that, no wonder we sped through quickly.

2. The World's Largest Hand-Dug Well (Greensburg, Kansas). Nope, it's a real place, not a Clark Griswold fantasy destination. Strangely enough, we didn't deem it worthy of a stop, having seen other holes dug by humans in the past.


Business That's Cornered The Market In Hiring Sullen Hispanic Teens, Both Male And Female, With Gang Tattoos On Their Arms, Hands, And Necks: McDonalds (Nationwide, apparently). Good luck getting any other job in life with that artwork, kids.


Most Boring-Sounding Hall Of Fame: The Teacher's Hall of Fame (Emporia, Kansas). What kind of interesting exhibits could they possibly feature? The desk from Welcome Back Kotter?


Best Sports Nickname: The Hooker, Oklahoma Horny Toads, an American Legion baseball team.

Other than a nasty rock chip in my six-month-old car's windshield and a $135 speed trap ticket gift for my wife courtesy of the Meade, Kansas Police Department (the officer, who was possibly the entire force, was polite and professional, at least), today was uneventful.

Hopefully we'll finish up tomorrow.
