It's one of those states that have a motto on the license plate. It said simply, Wild, Wonderful Wasn't what I was expecting. Then again, I suppose that "Marryin' Cousins" isn't the type of thing ... http://www.blogofthedarned.com/?p=235 There's a billboard just off the side of the freeway, where I get on in the evening to go home.
