I was bound and determined to go to the Crystal Bridges Museum to see the Ansel Adams show, so when I heard that Carly (she who stayed at the Goose this spring) was going, I was all in. It was a long drive—11:00 to 4 or so on twisty roads. I passed the biker church. I passed Crooked Creek and Huzzah Creek and Crooked Creek again. I passed the White River (of Hillary Clinton fame), and the billboard for the White Pride radio network ("for the whole family!"), and the Passion Play Rd. turnoff for the gigantic Christ of the Ozarks statue. I passed a town where all the signage was in Spanish, and all the restaurants were Mexican. I passed a billboard urging me to get out and vote in memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and a lot of Trump flags and a rainbow flag. I passed War Eagle and Devil's Eyebrow and the Pea Ridge battlefield and wound up in Bentonville, Ark., home of Walmart. And here I stop, eating takeout poke from a nearby mall.
