Maycation Day 14
Tennessee to Tennessee
Tennessee is a long state. When driving east or west on I-40, I assume I’m staying overnight in Tennessee one or two nights. The plan today was wake up in Memphis, go to sleep in Knoxville. An hour into the drive, I checked the distance home and decided to play through and end the trip a night earlier than expected.

A Tennessee rest area sign advertising Tennessee as the birthplace of the Soundtrack to America I’m glad to see that more and more states are playing to their strengths with their rest areas instead of the generic cookie-cutter default rest areas that are nearly impossible to differentiate. No sense of place, no sense at all.
A sign in a truck stop restaurant with quote from the traitor who led the slave-masters’ defense army against the U.S. in the Civil War I’m not at all glad to see this sort of shit, also playing to the sensibilities of the area. That traitor really needed to do less in his life. Fuck him and fuck anyone who thought it was a good idea to advertise anything that came from his mouth.
