This picture was taken behind a closed gas station on a rainy Sunday, but I really had to pee. Freaky anyway...

This is steam. Do not let anyone convince you it is a result of Bush environmental policies:

The state line between Arkansas (left) and Texas (right) runs literally down this tar crack in the middle of Stateline Avenue. Liquor stores on the left, shoe stores on the right:

Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, near Hodgenville, Kentucky:

Impressive monument:

My favorite pic from the trip. I call it 'Rainbow Curve'. Great place to film a Saturn commercial, I think:
