Or one of the Vans that Home Depot rents for $20.

I brought home all the lumber from Home Depot that I needed to do a fence repair and I own a Mustang.

Something people don’t think about is the reverse. When a warm spell happens in Canada or Alaska, it pushes that cold mass off the top of the world into Siberia or Europe and they get a “Polar Vortex”.  Everyone gets to play!

You might be right. When going to visit family there are two routes that I take across Missouri.

LOL. I am a lifelong registered Democrat and I have been banished. I am one of those dreaded centrist “Corporatist” Democrats that they love to decry here. To fit in here, you pretty much have to be slightly to the left of Che Guevara.

Holy moly that’s a lot of cheddar. This is $2,500 more than a Honda Goldwing Tour. Why is this thing worth almost $30k? Are the bolts made of gold? Were the con rods forged from Mithril by German trained Elves in Valinor?

They even knocked off the price.

I meant the South of the Border place. I was trying hard to write that so that I don’t come off that way, but it wasn’t easy. Religion is like a penis. It’s perfectly fine to have one, I just wish it weren’t waved in my face in public on a hundred foot tall sign.

Yeah, as I said the signs don’t stop, they just slow down in Arkansas and Missouri.

I thought it would be near the top, but I am not too popular I guess. It only got 6 stars.

Now we’re thinking!

I am sure Minnesota has its charms, but as my grandfather once told me:

Not really. I have lived here my whole life. Exercise a little caution when stopping in small towns and the rural countryside, but Southern major metro areas are awesome.  (DFW, Houston, San Antonio. New Orleans, Atlanta).

Yup! Family has lived here for about 5 generations now. It’s actually better than you think. There is lots of opportunity here without being as crowded as Chicago or NYC.

Note that I also said Southern Illinois and Indiana as well. And others here have said they have seen similar in LA, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. So if we are honest here.

Exactly. She complains about some cheap hawker drumming up business repeatedly along a single stretch of interstate. But at the end of the day it’s just a cheap hawker trying to sell junk.  This is like repeatedly but over the whole damn country.

It’s not just the deep south. I live in North Texas and have family in Northern Indiana. I see these all the time driving through Texas. Then they slow down in Arkansas and Missouri. Then they pick back up in Southern Illinois and Indiana. Then I get past Indianapolis and Kokomo. Then I wonder if I hit a kink in space-…

Now for legitimately bad billboards, I nominate the extremely pious religious and super-preachy anti-abortion billboards that I see when driving through Texas, Southern Illinois, and Indiana.

Sorry, these are actually a little funny.
