There's ''nothing'' great about this mound, okay? And another thing: there's nothing but old ladies hanging around this mound! You know, wearing their muumuus and their tutus and all their Dainty McDainty crap... Like...I don't like old ladies. I don't even wanna see 'em. Anyways, the mound was a big disappointment. I'll write from my next destination. Later! |

We traded addresses and stuff and they say they're gonna come visit, but, you know how that ends up. I'll never see 'em again. Come to think of it, I probably should have taken some of their stuff. Oh well. That old highway's a-callin' my name, so, you'll hear from me soon. Peace! | + | Hey everybody. Don't be fooled.

Don't be fooled by the old-timey photograph—the place really looks like that. Like, everything is tan and brown. The sky? Tan. And the streets are paved with a little different shade of tan. It was nothing but antique stores down there, like I couldn't find a single restaurant! I have a sneaking suspicion the people in Over There ''eat'' antiques. Yeah. ''Screwed up.'' There was one guy out there doing caricatures, though. I stopped by and got one...of myself...he made me...a caric-ter...choor...it was great. Okay. All this old Coca-Cola memorabilia is making me thirsty. I'll talk at ya soon. |
