Western Sizzlin'

WEstern Sizzlin' is a chain of restaurants that I haven't seen in many many moons. There used to be one in Richmond, right off of Hull Street Rd. I thought the whole chain had gone under until we came across one in Arkansas. Just as proof, here's a picture.

The Birthplace of Bill Clinton

When we stopped in Tennessee near the birthplace of Davy Crockett, we were surrounded by natural beauty that made you wonder about what it was like when he was there. When we stopped in Arkansas near the birthplace of Bill Clinton This is what we saw:



Arrrr-Kansas

Laura and I have renamed Arkansas. It doesn't make sense that Kansas and Arkansas should have such similar spellings and such different pronounciations. So while we haven't changed the spelling of the state, we changed its pronounciation. We starting a revolution; you're either with us or against us. Sorry, but sides must be chosen.







Arkansas is apparently full of adult stores, coupled with billboards espousing the evils of adultery. Its an interesting dichotomy.



Tractors are sexy. And yes, we were listening to the Kenny Chesney song.

More Tennessee



Tennessee looks like Virginia...tall trees, green, rolling hills, farms, etc.




Beautiful mountains...



Nascar...



But then it has the Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park.

We also crossed the Cumberland Gap, but I didnt get a chance to take a picture because I was driving.

Apparently Fireworks Are Legal Everywhere Except VA

Volunteer Art



Apparently the volunteer state got a volunteer artist to do their art. I think this is supposed to be people volunteering. Who has heart-shaped heads?

Why is Tennessee "The Volunteer State"?
You know what they say about volunteering...it never pays.
