I'm on a business trip in Arkansas. At first, I didn't notice much of a change. The airport seemed relatively new and modern. It only had a handful of gates, so I wasn't surprised when I had to get a key from the counter for the rental car. It was only once I pulled away from the airport exit that I began to notice the changes.
The car radio was tuned to classic rock. I usually prefer to listen to news. As I scrolled through the FM dial, I noticed that there were no less than six gospel stations either preaching or playing Christian rock. I even caught this snippet of conversation:
Host 1: Who is the person you should love the most?
Host 2: Your spouse?
Host 1: No, it's God!
Host 2: Trick question!
As I rolled through the countryside, I passed a number of RV parks. I was also looking for a gas station so that I could refill the rental car upon my return. Sadly, a number of them were closed or for sale. One of them still had signs with prices over $3 per gallon, so it must have been vacant for a while. Then I saw this:
I guess the price of oil has fallen a bit....
