Is anyone else tired of all the elaborate roadside memorials?
“
Respectively disagree (in most cases).
Here in Columbia, MO, roadside memorials marked the roadside on
which a city cop was gunned down by thugs. (Now marked by a memorial plaque.)
And the site on which a mother was killed (murdered) by a jerk of a driver.
And I recall seeing plenty of roadside crosses during a family trip
through Montana (on the way to Alberta).
It surely taught me to NOT “drink and drive”. And to be d-mned careful
when driving on two-lane highways.
E.g., going into the ditch (if there was one) if some idiot (drunk or otherwise)
poses an clear impact potential.
One thing I noticed when moving to OK....was the occasional cross or plastic flower along the roads here.
Didn't bother me...and doesn't now.
