Whenever someone asks me where Arkansas is, I always tell them it's right next to, but left of Tennessee. In California, they get it.

I will follow that up with a funny story of a bike ride from one coast to the other. Was on my way to bike week in Daytona several years ago, but wanted to visit friends in Raliegh. So was on I-40 from California.

Of course, cross the river from Arkansas to Tennessee. Just before getting on the bridge, there is a BIG sign that said "Leaving the great state of Arkansas, home of the (whatever) President of the USA, William J. Clinton."

There was a road crew taking that sign down, and it looked like a newer version was going up.... but was funny in a way.. then, as I crossed the bridge, came on another sign, "Welcome to the great state of Tennessee, home of the NEXT President of the USA, Albert Gore, Jr."

Yes, there was a road crew taking that one down too.
