Rosie and I have been in the car most of the day. Late afternoon finds us in Fayetteville, Arkansas, as my sister's place, and we will soon be out and about visiting her grown children and their families.
It was a long drive across the Arkansas backroads this morning. The only thing of interest that we came across, aside from the White Power advertising along the road near Harrison, Arkansas, was a black squirrel which ran out in front of our car on the highway as we passed through the tiny village of Gamaliel (pronounced "gah-mail-yah"), Arkansas. Fortunately, it got out of the road safely. I have never seen a black squirrel before and assume they (if there are more than one) are a rarity.
(I sincerely hope that Trump's idiot adult sons and Jimmy John the sandwich king don't hear about the black squirrel of Gamaliel! The little cuss deserves a fighting chance!)
The little town of Marionville, Missouri, is famous for white (albino) squirrels and even has a big billboard on the highway advertising their natural oddity. Supposedly a colony white squirrels live in a small patch of woods just off of the highway. I think "Ripley's Believe It or Not" gave them a mention at one time. I guess if nature can produce white squirrels, she can probably create black one's, too.
Headed home early in the morning.
Happy trails!
