Snickers Energy/Protein Bar. Like Cardboard it tastes!

Number of States I've never been to:

State Where it Finally Felt Like the South:
Tennessee. The divided highway cut through rocky cliffs topped with bare trees. A good portion of the 24 and 75 look like this, so when I hit it on the 40, I finally realized I was there.
Giant Crosses Passed:
Just the one in Texas. I didn't stop 'cause it was getting late and the sign said it was a spiritual experience I would never forget. No thanks.
Burned out Cars Passed:
One that had clearly seen the end of it's life on Route 66 rather than I-40.
Cattle Lots Passed:
Only 1.
"Authentic" "Indian" Souvenir Stands Passed:
Too Many to Count
Most played Music:
Rilo Kiley, Under the Blacklight.
A subtle and sublime album. Highly recommended.
