Random Trip Facts to Date....

ODDEST SIGN: Pass with Care (as compared to what? Passing with extreme hostility?)

ONLY IN WISCONSIN: Only in Wisconsin would you see a large billboard that reads "Fireworks and Cheese- Next Exit"

FUNNIEST NAME: Hands down winner in this category belongs to the "Ho-Chunk Casino" in Wisconsin.

APOLOGIES TO: My heartfelt apologies to all the deer of this nation. Never before have I seen so many of you lying dead on the side of the road (note to reader I have not hit any yet).

BIGGEST SURPRISE: Iowa. Who knew what a beautiful state Iowa was. I arrive in Iowa shortly before 4AM and what I saw was indeed a magnificent sight to behold. The morning clouds were rolling through and they were so low they appeared to be kissing the land.

SCARIEST SIGHT: Cornfields. I am sorry but cornfields are scary. Honestly, I would rather park next to a cemetery than a cornfield. I have just seen to many movies where weird things happen in cornfields. "Field of Dreams," "Signs," and "Children of the Corn" to name a few. I know many of you wonder why "Field of Dreams" made the list as it was not intended to be scary but hello there were dead, grumpy, ex-baseball players coming to life. I don't want to run into them thank you..
