You know, it's been a while since I've posted. The reason? On some of my most recent travels, only little things have made me giggle. Nothing has really been a knee slapper. So I got a request from someone who reads the blog, and they asked that I put together a summation of things that have made me giggle since my last post.

So here goes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

My Travels took me to the Festering pustule that is Memphis, via Little Rock. First of all I do not understand why there is a direct flight from San Antonio to Little Rock. My only guess would be that Southwest is catering to those “pig farmers on the go”. Can’t you just hear the commercial? “Just arrested on an animal molestation charge? Need to get away? You’re now free to move about the country.”
I was pretty impressed though once I landed in Little Rock. I was expecting to hear chickens and cows in the terminal, but it wasn’t like that at all. It was actually quite modern. The one exception being the Starbucks who gave away their used coffee grounds “fer yer garden and what not”. They even had a book store or two. I’m guessing only for the people coming in to Arkansas, as the practice of reading is frowned upon there.
Once I got outside the airport and got up on the Interstate, I came across one of the National distribution centers for Maybelline. It’s a huge building that has the logo that I’ve seen on my wife’s mascara. Looking at the logo and hearing their jingle in my head made me imagine the commercial they must play in the confines of the state. Maybe it goes some like, “Maybe is Maybelline! Wreeeeeeeck!”(Hog sound)
Something else seen as I was en route to the toilet in the south, Memphis, was the Remington Ammunition building. It was huge; like the size of a mall. To me it once more perpetuates the stereotype in Arkansas. That and roads in Arkansas. They are like paved washboards. I nearly threw a shock in between Luler and CowHole, Arkansas.
Well I said I would keep is short and sweet. I’ll see if anything inspires me to write while I’m in Long Beach. Have a great day. ;-)
