RVing with the chickens

I've traveled all over North America and have seen thousands of wacky signs, statues and what some people call art.

As a frequent RV traveler, I've learned to appreciate seeing this stuff because it breaks up the monotony of the road and enlivens the conversation between myself and Mrs. Professor. We've seen monster pheasants, furniture, appliances and dragons on the side of the road. We've beheld "Billy loves Sue" written on the Bonneville salt flats and "Kilroy was here" on numerous rock outcroppings. We've seen giant lobsters, crabs and mermaids, modern art and decorated outhouses. They all make us smile and wonder about who made them and why.

Should mankind survive another two thousand years, what will anthropologists think when they dig up a giant rooster that once adorned a chicken shack? Will they think we worshiped chickens?

And how about those giant ice cream cones? Will they think they were yard ornaments or will they think we were preoccupied with food? One thing is for sure, we've got enough wacky stuff out there to keep them guessing for a long time.

We have fun talking about the funny signs and sculpture we see along the way. Enjoying these moments are the delight of the people of the road. There's no doubt about it, RVs are multidimensional fun machines.
