I remember seeing my first roadside memorial almost 30 years ago while driving through the southwest. A white cross with some faded plastic flowers on it. A few years later, we saw some in Jamaica and in Mexico. I thought they were tacky. Now, the trend has obviously spread thoughout the country, even into Wisconsin. Last year 10 people were killed in the fog in Sheboygan County, and people had put up all kinds of memorials. I imagine it's good if it helps them deal with their terrible and sudden loss, but I still think hate those faded plastic flowers! I wish they could get into placing a flowering plant, low growing, or some sort of a garden spot to commemorate the memories of their loved ones, in my humble opinion.

P.S. Screw the atheists. Put some of the flowers in the garden in a cross shape if you like. I'm sooo sorry if they're offended by the cross. Aren't we supposed to be tolerant and celebrate diversity? Or is that criticism reserved for Christians?
