Looked out the window of the hotel this morning and first thing I saw was a gentleman in an aloha shirt taking pictures of UMJ. Art car road trip now officially in full effect. Drive yesterday was most uneventful, which is the way we like 'em. I somewhat surprised myself by remembering (with only 1 stall) how to get the car started and up to highway speed, even though it's been well over a year since I last drove standard. I'm still pretty useless at (and freaked out by) "city driving" or anything involving the lower gears. But I can keep things moving down the highway for a couple of hours.
My other questions from yesterday:
why is Spanish moss called Spanish moss?
if it's illegal to pick Spanish moss from trees (as I hear it is in some places), is it also illegal to pick it up from the ground?
what was that thing that I saw passing in the other direction on 95? it looked like a 3-wheeled motorcycle done up like a woody panel-van or 60s style hot rod. except made entirely of wood. except it went past so quickly that i barely got any kind of look at it at all
