Travel Observations

Random thoughts that came to my mind as we drove to/from Greenville, SC today:

1 - I saw a vehicle with its business name and contact information plastered all over it. Odd thing is that it was called 'Highway 801 Towing'. Isn't that a bit limiting of a business name to have? I'm not sure to which Highway 801 it was referring, but the one near us is not too tremendously well-traveled. If that is the market you're aiming for...hmm, back to the drawing board, I'd say. Oh, and the really odd thing? It wasn't even a tow truck. It was a van. What exactly was THAT supposed to do?

2 - Thankful for a good bit of fog to hide most of the billboards about...well, you know what I mean if you've driven on that part of I-85 in SC.

3 - We've only lived in NC for just over six years and already, we have memories that flooded my mind as we drove through Greenville. Remember when...?

4 - Approximately 87% of the cars that were moving along in a 'dangerously unique' manner had drivers talking on their cell phones. Just saying.

5 - It just feels much hotter in SC. Closer to the equator, I guess.

6 - Lots of unmarked police cars out there. Glad I was law-abiding for the most part today.

7 - The cruise control on my truck fares a bit better on hills than does that same tool on my van. In case you wanted to know.

8 - Those Shriners. Good folk.

9 - Back to vehicles with business contact information. Here's an idea...make it legible! All I could tell is that is was some kind of company that does graphics. Not the best advertising when you can't read the font even stopped behind you at a red light.

10 - What is it about driving? Nearly five hours today doing nothing but steering the van and the first thing I wanted to do when I got home...take a nap.
