A few tidbits I've noticed while spending hours (and hours and hours) in the car:
- A bridge is a pretty cool structure, no matter where you cross it.
- Canada Geese are also in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
- The further south you drive, the more roadkill you see.
- There is no shortage of bugs attracted to the windshield in Kentucky.
- The Smokey Mountains are aptly named.
- So is The Bible Belt.
- In at least one roadside diner near Bristol, Tennessee, Jesus, Mary and Joseph all have blonde hair.
- Suburban sprawl looks the same everywhere, but police cars look different in every state.
- No matter how fast (or slow) you're going, traffic will slow down when a cop car pulls onto the highway.
- "Three Star" accommodations have entirely different meanings, depending where you are.
- Aggressive drivers and super friendly locals can both be found nearly everywhere.
- Guinness makes a Blonde American Lager.
- You can purchase Guinness Blonde American Lager in Virginia on Sunday.
- You can get a good meal nearly everywhere, if you avoid chain restaurants.
- Some of the best places to see are not listed in any guidebooks.
- A gorgeous sunset is gorgeous, even from an unattractive roadside motel.
