Thelma's Cross-country Observations Day 1

Missouri takes forever to drive through. Seriously, of the twelve hours I spent on the road today, nine of them were in Missouri. Luckily, most of the state has beautiful scenery, so it wasn't a horrible drive.

Observations about the people of Missouri (based solely on the plethora of billboards I saw): they're right-wing fundamentalist Christians who like to blow things up (either with fireworks or guns), frequent adult establishments, and love to eat BBQ. Oh, and really want legalized marijuana.

Arkansas, you're not helping your image if the first thing people see upon entering your state is a sign stating: "Speed limits strictly enforced. NO TOLERANCE." All it does it start the theme song from Deliverance playing in people's heads!

Elvis waved as I passed through Memphis; he wanted me to tell y'all hello!
