Toilet Graffiti Philosophy

I never expected our road trip to get political and I really didn't expect to find political discussion scrawled on the walls of a ladies room stall in the middle of nowhere Illinois, but that is precisely what happened today. Glancing at the bathroom stall walls was like a public forum on immigration laws.

It looked like it all started with an incredibly insensitive non PC racial slur followed by a plethora of comments telling the original poster why they were wrong. Most just pointed out that the original public property defacer was in fact racist and that she(I'm assuming it was a she since it was a Ladies's bathroom) should keep opinions to herself or leave the country. What I found most interesting were the comments that went into some detail as to immigration policy and the legal stuff behind it.

After taking this in, a few thoughts came to mind. Were the responders to the vandalism frequent gas station bathroom laureates? and more importantly did they wash they hands before leaving.

Just some thoughts.

Peace love and Dr. Pepper,

On the Road again

Putting some miles on the car through the land of Lincoln. A 4:15 AM wake up call isn't so bad when you know that by the end of the day you'll be enjoying the sights of cowboys in Wranglers at the longest Consecutively running rodeo in Kansas. We are looking for some road side attractions to stop at over the next few days. Suggestions would be helpful (that means you ma ma Birger) Todays plan: Valparaiso, In to Strong City Kansas.
