Arkansas - The (So) Natural State


I never had in mind to create such a collage, I had other images that were waiting on line, but after traveling through the Natural State aka Diamond State aka Arkansas, I had to do it. There was an ice storm the day before, so when I got there I expected to find nice and clean roads... well, what I found was totally different. The state of Arkansas loves the nature too much to remove that natural ice from the roads. Also they love and care too much for that salt to throw it just away on the roads. Even in their Capital was the same situation, with roads covered in ice, or should I say "glazed"? So, my dear friends, whenever you intend to travel through Arkansas during the winter time, check the forecast first!


Today's joke is not from Arkansas but West Virginia!

A man in West Virginia had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a withered bouquet of flowers in front of the car and another one behind it. Then he got back in the car and waited.
A passerby rubbernecked the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.
The man replied, "I got me a flat tar."
The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"
The man responded, "When you breaks down they says to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I
doesn't understand it neither. But, you stopped, so, I guess it works! You got a extry spar?"

Frozen


This is a four y.o. picture, taken (if I'm not mistaken) in Circleville, Ohio. I was coming from Sunshine State, goin' to Michigan for a local white Christmas. The road was just fine til I reached West Genie (that's WV!). Then it started snowing, and the Buckeye state offered me heavy freezing rain, that beside the fact they already had about a foot of snow. Here, at Tim Hortons I took a coffee break, and of course I grabbed my camera to take some freezing shots.
