1/18/2026 As I Drove...

Weeks ago... Southward I drove with a few rain drops greeting me along the way. However, I was definitely rejoicing the warmer temperatures.

Then as I started to notice the changing scenery I realized that my "truck was going to my switcharoo" to the normal trip from Missouri. I brought additional little items to make camp at my daughter's house.

The Ole Blue was going to need new wiper blades and along with more snacks at the ever so plentiful Wal-Marts long the way.

Ironically I drove along munching on my snowballs & shedding the coat near Arlington House, Lake Providence, LA.

I marveled at the differences still evident of the Southern landscape. Those plantation owners sure had it made.

Too bad the Union burned most of their houses down. Arlington House survived only because some of Grant’s officers had taken up residence there.

Still left were the many sharecropper shannies.

A blunt reminder of American history.

As the daylight faded a stopped at a chain drive thru and enjoyed their Chilli Cheese Burger and Homemade Rootbeer.

It wasss Yummy!

It is usually a great day in America...
