I see you!

Wonder if it smells bad in there? This horse was peeking his nose out of the trailer, trying to get some fresh air it seems!

If you died today...

...where would you spend eternity? Interesting billboard! Thought provoking, of course. I am pretty sure that on the other side of that billboard, just behind those trees, is a cemetery and beside it of course is a church. I'm not certain which church, but I am pretty sure this is in Smith County, Tennessee along Interstate 40. I wonder if it has ever provoked someone into attending church?

Extra support?


A few years ago some construction was done at Interstate 40 on the west side of Nashville at Briley Parkway/White Bridge Ave. The road was widened and new HUGE offramps were added on the north side. And for some reason this support column was built in the wrong place! Or they changed their mind at some point!
You can see the new offramp on the left of the photo. Maybe they wanted a direct access offramp coming from the eastbound traffic? Not sure, but this thing sure stands out. It can even be seen in this Google Street View-but not the overhead photo. The overhead image is pre-construction.

I wonder if they will ever finish the offramp or eventually take this down?

Stuck in traffic


And sometimes all you see are lots of other cars. This happened back in July of 2008 on Interstate 40 west of Knoxville when a tanker full of Titanium Tetrachloride overturned. We sat in traffic, finally inching our way along 40 to an off-ramp and then along Highway 70 to get back on the interstate-it took us 4 hours!
