A Sign

I'd been driving for what seemed like hours.  At the outset the trip had gone smoothly.  Because we'd left home early, the roads had been largely empty.  Everything was smooth sailing.  We'd made good time. We'd enjoyed the scenery along the way and had brought along some CDs of enjoyable music.  It was just the two of us and the trip afforded my wife and I an opportunity to chat now and then, catching up on each other's lives and compare notes on issues of the day. I knew the way to the border.  The route was simple and straight-forward to follow since we'd travelled it several times before.  The highways and interchanges were clearly marked.  And before we knew it were were stopped and chatting with the U.S. Customs agent about our summer vacation.

Nevertheless, allow me to share with you some of the weirder ones... For example, Clinton, British Colmbia offers the Cowboy in a Bathtub Monument. Who knew! And, in Altona, Manitoba there's the world's largest easel. Picture perfect! Need a giant pick-me-up? Davidson, Saskatchewan has the world's large...

My Sentiments Exactly

Yup, "YEE-HAW" about says it all. Been in Fort Lauderdale since March 16 and decided to stay on a couple of extra days. Hey, there's a big difference between 82F and -2C! BTW, the sign was found on the Florida Turnpike between Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.
