stormdogI have my trip basically planned out. And I'm 99% sure I'm going to go. Lack of motivation and excitement for doing much other than staying home was depression and anxiety, I'm doing better now, and once I'm on the road I'm sure I'll be happy and excited.
12 of the things I'm seeing are some kind of commemoration of death (and one of those includes a cemetery with multiple interesting things to see). Death really compels people toward the shaping of social memory. There are far fewer things that commemorate births, though one of my stops is the the birthplace of David Rice Atchison. He may have been (but probably actually wasn't) president of the United States for about a day. He was also a pro-slavery domestic terrorist, like so many of the time's Democrats. He got more personally involved than many, though, during the violence in Bleeding Kansas.
There are a lot of monuments commemorating some pretty vile, to modern progressive sensibilities, people and things in Kentucky.
I am going to visit a place called Wolf Lick. Not because anything is there, but because I am a furry and must pose. Awooo!
If you feel like spending four days driving to bizarre things completely on my schedule and sleeping in a car, let me know and we'll talk?
