A Trip Up to the South


Jen and I took a short trip down south..., um or back east, whatever. Not really sure what region North Carolina is considered "the south", "southeast" - might as well be Mars to me because there's some crazy shit going down in that part of the country and I just can't figure it out. Although I was really expecting to see armys of white men sporting the latest mullet styles and wearing NASCAR wife-beaters...there was more....soooo much more. Such as:

Homemade biscuits (made with the creamiest cream I have ever seen)















Broken down Gremlins (sure sign that you car has been sitting in your yard too long is when trees start growing through it)











Random street art (people in the south have a lot of time on their hands)












General Lee replicas (to be expected)













A visit to the local market revealed some strangeness:











......like, what the hell is this?














....and this?











...and this?










...and this
