More Oddities

Ask anybody in Atlanta, Georgia where the "big chicken" is and they'll be able to tell you. I found it.
Here it is...

It sure is a big chicken.

It's located in one of the Northwestern suburbs of Atlanta and it's really as plain as the nose on your face when you see it. I've not seen it in a while and it's been about 5 years since I've heard anything about it, but I'm sure it's still there.

Here's a picture of a storm I drove into about 10 years ago. This one really scared me. I had been on the road most of the day. I took a left at the junction of two county roads and the sky was just black ahead of me. Everywhere else in the sky was a bright blue, but right where I was going all hell was breaking loose.
Driving into a big ol' thunderstorm in central Indiana.

Impending doom. The plains states are good for these monsterstorms. Bright sunshine where I was, hellish rain just a mile down the road.

Driving around the U.S.A. can be rather humorous sometimes. Here's the city limits sign for a town that was just doomed from the start to be what it is: DULL, Unincorporated.

Dull, Tennessee.

OK, WHY would anyone name a town Dull? Did they ever wonder why the town never prospered? I'd like to state for the record that this is a REAL sign and not some fake. This town is located in West-Central Tennessee roughly 50 miles Southwest of Clarksville. It's somewhere around there. It may not be on any maps, but I saw it and now the world will know that there really is a town named Dull in Tennessee.

Moving on to another classic double-take, I saw this on the stretch of road between Atlanta, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tennessee that's commonly referred to as the "Atlanta Highway." It's an interstate with 3 lanes in each direction. It's also the frequent stopming grounds of this fellow and his junior big rig.

For the man who has it all and has a need to take it with him.

All I must say is this: I wouldn't want to be driving this outfit when a sudden stop is needed. No thanks.
