Oddservations: On the road

I drove 699 miles today, from central Pennsylvania to the western side of Illinois. Tomorrow I hit Kansas City.

While driving I saw:

• A living room chair in the middle of the highway.
• A matching chair a mile-and-a-half further down the road.
• A truck with a giant crate, marked FRAGILE and THIS END UP, heading for Chicago. I looked for air-holes.
• Lots of collapsing barns, which has me thinking about how farming has changed.
• Several GIGANTIC crosses. I kept hoping for a gigantic Star of David, but haven't seen one yet.
• and other things, I've already forgotten.

It's a big world. Go out and explore it.
