The Nasty family is in the midst of a vacation.
We first started in the monstrosity that is the Smoky Mountains Recreational Complex.
While it's easy to disparage the typical tourist trap nonsense in that area, the Smoky Mountains are quite beautiful. We went zip lining above the tree line in the mountains, The next day we did white water rafting, which was fun as hell. And the final day we partook in the obligatory go-kart racing, which was a good time.
Vacationing in that area does become an exercise in eating food that isn't good for you.
On the way from Tennessee to my daughter's dance competition in scenic Sandusky, Ohio, the drive was beautiful, but the selection of music stations sucked. We rented a vehicle for the trip, so we didn't have our regular SiriusXM stations to choose from. Gosh, the selection of radio stations in Kentucky, in particular, is horrid. Absolutely horrible.
On our way over from the interstate going to Cleveland, we had to take some two-lane roads. So I got to take in the scenery of upper Ohio, which reminded me of certain parts of Missouri.
We drove through the hometown of Thomas Edison: Milan, Ohio. Factoid alert.
On one patch of road, I encountered a sign stating "Rough Crossing" before railroad tracks. I've never seen that sign before.
I want one. It sums up a lot about life.
