little rock, arkansas

i have been in the twilight zone.

little rock, arkansas was my destination this week. had a meetin' with some good ol' boys. of course, i was the only woman who didn't answer a phone for a living. wow.

it's like everyone was moving in slow motion. no one is in a hurry. it's interesting, but foreign to this city girl. i outpaced every car on the freeway at 60 mph and we all know that is like CRAWLING for me.

the rep showed up in a shirt that was printed with images of fly fishermen. his bumper sticker advised not to mess with texas. "broke," rather than broken, was the word of choice. he carries a SHOTGUN in his car; apparently everyone does. i was overdressed in a jacket and skirt. i could have worn cut-offs and sneakers and fit in just fine. nice.

i did have a chance to hit clinton's library, which does look like a mobile home on the edge of the arkansas river. lovely.

i have returned to civilization. next stop, orlando, florida.
