A lot of our drive was located in the state of South Carolina. This alone kept us entertained for hours. One of our favorite topics for the drive was our multiple near losses of life that occurred while the people of South Carolina attempted to merge onto the highway. WOW. They would stop, slow down considerably, or just plain run you into the other lane. Think we are exaggerating?
Well check out this article rating Columbia, S.C. as having the WORST drivers in America.
The other part of our trip through the state that always amazes me (and my mom says it is the whole South) is their zoning laws. What is the deal?
You can have this right next to this:
and it is seen frequently throughout the state.The zoning and frankly the landscape is just ugly.
Petrified forests, swamps, kudzu the vine (which is everywhere). It is landscape chaos. I much prefer the flat land of the Indiana drive, where there are rows of crops, neat fields. It is my anal need for order.
I know, there are trailers in Indiana.. but they probably aren't parked next to the mansion.

Wow, you should come out to Texas! There are hundreds upon hundreds of miles of perfectly boring landscape here - you would love it!
So were there any "airspace" violations in the backseat on your trip? That was the one that always put my mom over the edge when we were kids. She finally put an end to the actual physical abuse of one another and then the cry became "but mom, Jason has his hands/feet/you name the body part in my airspace!" I only use myself as example to illustrate the topic, not because I would have ever been the antagonist in that situation!
Oh, I am sure you wouldn't be an antagonist at all... : )
Oh yes, we had many airspace violations. Plus a lot of rolling down of the windows b/c Lily thinks it is funny to pass gas and laugh (she is a frat boy at heart).
hehehe...air quality violations are a whole new topic. I have yet to meet your lovely daughter, but I have no doubt that we would get along just fine!
