Pig-soo-eeey! The folks down here in Arkansas are crazy about their Hogs. Their love for the Hogs rivals that of UT fans and their Longhorns. Everywhere you go, it's Pig-soo-eeey!:
The churches down here rule. Either the parishioners are donating more money than churchgoers elsewhere across the country, or the land is just so dirt cheap that it doesn't cost much to erect a monster church. Here's one that I pass by every day on the way to work... note the giant crosses:
People must not rate vehicular safety as high on their priority list. Every day on the way home from work, I pass these railroad tracks. There are no safety guardrails that come down when the train is coming. There are no lights that warn drivers when a train is oncoming.
One day, I was crossing the tracks at night, looked to the left, and there was a train heading straight at me! yikes!
I never really saw this in the Northeast. About once a month, the "chain gang" comes out and works along the freeway. These guys come out with their shackles on and a number of armed guards keep a close eye over them (at least we hope they do!). They pick up the trash and clean
out the bush... it's a pretty jarring sight! 
Finally, Arkansas is home to Tyson of Tyson chicken. On the drive into work the other day, I drove past this truck that was carrying these chickens... um, to a better place?
One morning, I find myself driving thru a flurry of chicken feathers. It's bad enough that you're a chicken, and you're about to die. It's even worse when you can't ride to your funeral in style! Note the birds that are cold and huddled up against one another because their cages didn't have a metal sheet covering them as they cruised along the freeway!
Betcha don't see anything like this on your commute!
