Okay so I'm still stuck on the 'roadside memorials'...
On Wednesday, I was purposefully looking for all of the memorials to try to really count how many and to see if I could see names (I know I must me material for those 'don't do this while your driving' commercials'!). I really wanted to re-inspect the 'YOU' marker, too. So, I pass by the one with the lighting, the one with the intricate iron cross and as I'm looking for the one with the helium balloon I notice something coming out of the ground...IT'S THE HELIUM BALLOON! There were tired tracks from the road to the guard rails in the center of the median! The tire tracks led RIGHT to the helium balloon memorial!! What is that all about??? Was the balloon distracting? Was that just a dangerous part of the road that kept drawing drivers to the guard rail??? I just didn't get it. PLUS - I didn't see the 'YOU' memorial! What has happened??
So, today as I'm talking on the phone to my sister I see brake lights ahead of me and stopped traffic. As I finally, slowly approach the site of ambulances, police cars, firetrucks, wreckers...I couldn't help wonder...
I wonder what their memorial will look like...sad thought huh?
Well, the good thing is that I'm finished driving that way - today was my last day going to Augusta. I won't be worried about the memorials, I won't worry about the "YOU", I won't have to count to see if any were added while I was off...That's a GOOD thing...
G'nite!!

maybe you should take some digital pix of all of those memorials on your route and do a collage with them? or, if you remember what they look like, you could make an altered art book out of the memorable ones? bam!!!! dna
