America - Day One With a bit of time and energy left in a hotel room in Bowling Green, Kentucky, I offer my transcribed journal notes from today. This was written as Adam drove along...→[More:]It's a little random, and I hope it's more interesting than annoying or offensive.

With Dorito-stained knuckles, I write this first sentence. We are in Kentucky, aiming at "The Bat" as Adam has named Louisville. It's now quite hilly and snowy. Ohio was MUCH flatter.

The intense case of heebie-jeebies which met me in Detroit has been long gone, but the Planet of the Apes style Giant Jesus which we saw somewhere around Monroe, Ohio was quite the shock.

The oddly named places have been a source of fun for us; Miamisburg, Uniopolis, & Delphos paired with Wapokoneta made us think that the Great Behemoth may be running out of names. Possible new community names like Chairlift, Maine, or Mattress, Arizona, New San Bostonelphia, or Los Francisco, Wyoming were offered to this country of few road signs & Giant Jesuses. The Bob Evans's sign floating high in the air roadside also serve to remind us that fireworks, titty bars, mocassins and beef jerky abound.

America, you are huge, and you confound me.

P.S I wish I had a coffee.
