Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?

In a world that is spiraling down the toilet  ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time.  It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same.  (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix.  Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there.  When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it!  One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc.  I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling.  My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.  (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...

Hump Day Poll: Travel


What's the weirdest/most interesting roadside attraction you've seen on a road trip/vacation?

  1. Since you took Wall Drug, which was a cheesy tourist trap indeed and also so worth a stop - I pick the corn palace. It's actually really neat to see. I have no idea why they do it that way but it is neat - and a bit corny of course.

  2. I've been to Wall Drug - summer of 1977 - the signs were better than the actual place - LOL Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo is kinda weird. A group of "artists" back in 1974 took the time to "plant" ten old Cadillacs in a field...

  3. The Jolly Green Giant Statue in Blue Earth, MN or the world's largest strawberry in Strawberry Point, Iowa

  4. I've been to Wall Drug as well. I remember my mother telling me she refused to go there because of all the advertising that she'd see for miles when she was traveling through the state. LOL I have a vague memory of the largest ball of twine or rubber bands, but I can't remember specifics.
