Things I forgot I knew about the south-They love christmas almost as much as they love fireworks.

Most confusing car-The Ford Taurus with 4 Mac stickers.  It just seems wrong putting Mac stickers on a Ford Taurus.

Best bumper sticker-There was an escort taxi service vehicle with "WARNING! ERRATIC LANE CHANGES" covering the entire rear window.  And it did erratically change lanes repeatedly and for no real reason.

Prettiest city-Once again goes to Louisville, Kentucky.  Who knew it was so pretty there?!?  Of course I forgot to take pictures of it because I was too busy looking at it.  Something to aim for on the trip back I guess.

Funniest roadside sign-"Watch For Falling Rocks!" followed by "Move All Damaged Vehicles To The Side Of The Road Immediately"  as if by chance you survived a massive rock falling off a mountain and onto your car that you would be in any sort of shape to then physically push your car WITH the rock on it to the side of the road.

Time pulled into Uncle Dan & Aunt Karen's driveway-6:21pm (time adjusted to central time zone.  it was 7:21pm in TN time)
