Stop And Go

Do you know how many traffic lights I encounter on a daily basis? Zero. I can take Big pup to school, stop in at the post office, fill up at the gas station, take the huskies to the vet and grab a gallon of milk at the Dollar General store and never have to deal with traffic lights. On the days when I need more than just milk I head to Walmart--passing through only 2 lights.

Yesterday, I traveled to Little Rock to see my sister and OH MY WORD do you know how many traffic lights there are in Little Rock? One million. I'm not even kidding.

This weeks Poetry Friday selection is How to Enter a Big City by Thomas James Merton

  4. I can't go anywhere without hitting a traffic light. Unless I only drive around in my subdivision, then I'm good.

    I stopped by your sister's site. I LOVE Jason's Deli, but we don't have them in OH. We had one by our house in Kansas (we lived in the Kansas City area) and I ate there about once a week! We do have McAlister's, but it's just not the same.

  5. Me and traffic lights do not get along! LOL! We have a ton just taking my oldest to school! I try to avoid going anywhere unless I have to...and then I make a day out of it and do all the things I need to do while out. HAHA! I hate driving through Little Rock though! I have to say the Arkansas Highways suck! It's been YEARS, almost a DECADE and there is ALWAYS construction on the highway! Crazy!

  9. I can't stand traffic lights, went to LR last week and you are right they have a ton and they last FOREVER, did I say FOREVER. We have a ton here in Big D but they are pretty quick to change.

  18. Cute pictures of you and your sister! Traffic lights - hate them! Such a waste of time. You are lucky, even when I take a quick trip to the grocery store I hit at least three!
