We did not see...

But in Oregon we did see a dog lumpy with tumors who sang along with "Jesus Loves Me."

A drug dealer's state rest stop where everyone drove in in a beat-up Chevy van and exchanged drugs like it was a farmer's market.

A new bride leaning against the fender of her SUV, beneath a cheery "Just Married" sign, smoking and staring desolately at the black-topped parking lot of a Best Western Hotel.

A family of 3 with their Jack Russell terrier picnicking on the grassy center divide of I-5.

A rust covered van stuffed to the gills with clothes, furniture, books and rubble sporting a bumper sticker that read, "At least I can still smoke in my car."
