So, we did our first Poker Run yesterday

Thanks for raining on my parade, GL. I **was** going to continue the fascinating tale of Arkansas (including Bentonville), but now I'm not so sure it will be appreciated.

I'm very tempted to white font this just so the unworthy can't read of our adventures, but in the interst of fairness, I'll post openly.

We left beautiful Oklahoma on <s>some damned number road</s> OK 20 which took us into Arkansas. Prior to leaving <s>the center of the universe</s> Cincinnati, Trav spent a bit of time on an official Arkansas site about good motorcycle rides.

So, we picked up AR 7.

It quickly became apparent to me that while Al Gore was busy inventing teh internets, (read Fark if you don't get that) other folks in Little Rock were throwing cooked, limp spaghetti on the map and then patting themselves on the back when they decided those snaking things should be roads.

For many, many miles we were in the middle of fucking nowhere (apoligies to Sluggo if she still reads; the rest of you can kiss my increasingly fat white ass) -- to the point that if we'd gone down, we'd probably still be there.

But on to Bentonville.

Another horrible disappointment. The WalMart was just a WalMart. However, the WalMart HQ is pretty damned spiffy.

"just a walmart"?!?!?!?!?!!?

In some areas, that statement could be viewed as an act of treason [img]eek.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]
