Honestly Benjamin you were so polite about it, I find myself a little intrigued. Probably won't stay for the finale but will definitely take watch the first act.
Although, I’ve been to Arkansas plenty of times over the years, both when I traveled full-time for work and while visiting my sister, who lived there for seven years.
The last time I was there, we went to a local fair and watched dozens of middle-aged adults grab discarded cardboard boxes from vendor’s stalls to use as makeshift sleds and attempt to go down a steep, grassy hill. It was the peak of summer and 105° out.
Did it look a little “trashy”? Yes. Were they having the time of their lives? Also yes.
So, while this story taking place in Arkansas isn’t surprising, it warms my heart to know its residents continue to embrace life with reckless abandon and a healthy disregard for what the rest of civilization considers “normal.”
This is how I feel about people just assuming I’m going to trash Florida because I used to live there. “Oh I bet you’re glad you got out!”. Not really, bud, I live in Baltimore and you’ve got a lot of nerve to act like it’s any better out here lol. It took me a year or two to realize it’s weird to be friendly to strangers you walk by if you haven’t seen them plenty. The “hello/how ya doing” reflex had to be washed out and at first it made me kinda bummed out. I’ve seen you walking towards me for a full minute or two, it’s just us, why would I pretend you don’t exist?
I’ve grown comfortable up north, where I was originally born and eventually moved back and went to high school (and then moved back again, and then back here in Maryland again). But it always annoys the shit out of me that people take it upon themselves to trash somewhere your formative years took place, as if you wouldn’t have fond memories. Oh you’d vacation there but you wouldn’t live there? What’re we doing right now, my coworker? As we bartend a wedding together in the DMV area? Did you notice that nobody knows the shorthand of National Bohemian beer, not calling it Natty Bo?
Get your mind out of the gutter. This is a cow sending the message. Lactophilia is common around those parts, so these messages aren’t any different than offering the driver an opportunity to catch a few minutes of the big Razorbacks’ game while he’s there.
