Especially in rural Arkansas, in the dark, in the rain. And a special thanks to the soldiers and their families.<br /><br />That said -- will the gloves come off on the Arkansas characteriztion? Probably not til football season. But I'll let you in on a few secrets, anyway.<br /><br />In Arkansas, we like to give directions that are dependent on landmarks that no longer exist: "You head down the gravel road, then take a left at the first hickory tree and follow that dirt road until you get to where the old Smithers place used to be. You can't miss it."<br /><br />That's one of our fa-vo-right jollies -- gives us another reason to laugh at the furriners and flatlanders.<br /><br />Oh, and that whoopsy doodle ride on the two-lane like a ride at Six Flags? That should be "like at Magic Springs," one of the world's least solvent and most themeless theme parks. But it's on one of the paved highways so you probably missed it.<br /><br />Hope Mrs. Andy is feeling perkier today.Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-41112352631253389762010-07-11T11:52:21.514-05:002010-07-11T11:52:21.514-05:00Kristin: Home really is my favorite place to be. ...Kristin: Home really is my favorite place to be. But, "vacation" (almost anywhere) comes in a close second.<br /><br />Mrs. Who: Thank your son for us, please! I've got two in the military myself, and know the pride that comes from that.<br /><br />Buck: Pal...one of favorite films of ALL TIME! GENIUS in my book. I am not a film watcher, but I'll bet I've seen that thing 30 times.<br /><br />And yeah, even though it was extremely out of character (which I think added to Pam's illness), that's about what it was like for the first 4 1/2 hours of driving.<br /><br />On the way home in daylight, I was my normal Grandma self.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-53558707261664189492010-07-11T09:17:57.794-05:002010-07-11T09:17:57.794-05:00As the mother of a soldier...thanks for helping th...As the mother of a soldier...thanks for helping those guys out!

A Mission From God, indeed. But we've been instructed by Hollywood that a Mission From God needs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjGfnsjdJec" rel="nofollow">appropriate music</a>, so I hope ya had it on board. And there appears to be similarities in the way you drive, too.

Goodness gracious, the guy was one of the great "heart to heart" songwriters ever.<br /><br />The "bravo" goes to those young men, at least in my book. I was just looking at it as an opportunity to get out of town, and spend a day away from the humdrum with my wife, in a place that I have many fond memories.<br /><br />I sure wish that I really was the kind of "friend" that Tracy was singing about. I KNOW that those young heroes are...<br /><br />Regardless, thanks for the big old reminder of Tracy's work. It put a big old smile on my sleep-deprived face. Seriously!
