I
use www.roadsideamerica.com
quite a bit to see the more unusual spots when traveling. Most places are
amazingly silly. This white Brahman bull at Grannie’s Country Cookin’
Restaurant really makes no sense. I did enjoy the sign beside the bull - Warning: To avoid injury please do not sit or climb on the bull. (He's not as young as he used to be.).
Back
in 2012 and 2013, the Bradford County Courthouse was in the news. A group of atheists had
complained about a new Ten Commandments monument located on government grounds given the separation of religion and state. After negotiations, it was decided
the Ten Commandments monument could stay as long as other monuments were allows. The group
of atheists installed a monument nearby where it still stands. The Washington
Post even did an article on it in 2013. In the article, they say this was the
first atheist monument on government property in the U.S.
The
weirdest was after John went to visit his brother. Soon after he left, the
internet went out. Then we realized cell phone service stopped. It turned out
internet for the entire campground and town was down and included the Verizon
cell tower. It was funny. I went to the office where the guy told me that
everything was down and they didn’t know when it would come back. As I left he
said I could call the office if I had any questions. Uhmm, how do I call when
cell service is down?
We
couldn’t call, text, or email John to let him know. Luckily we still had
electricity, water, and TV. We frequently don’t have cell or internet, but this
was weird to be in a town and suddenly lose service for 8 hours.
