PETERSBURG, VA -- Seen/heard of note on this road trip:

FM radio, low on the 'dial' somewhere in the Carolinas, lyrics: God is good, beer is great, people are crazy

Billboard: "JESUS' BLOOD"

Billboard: Next exit for guns, ammo, freedom

"You got to get the fuck up out of this parking lot. You're weirding people out."

Noted: Taking I-95 north out of Miami and the into Georgia is almost as long as driving in and out of Tennessee across I-40, and is not enoyable.

The truckstop in Kenly, NC, has a massive convenience store with trucks on display inside. They also sell throwing stars and swords, which is a quaint and endearing demographic insight.
