We have commenced the tour of the near Southwest this week with stops in Uranus, Springfield, Bentonville, Fayetteville, and currently Fort Smith. Nothing too amazing so far, although the fact of how good the food and drink is all across this country does amaze me.

And we found toilet paper on sale (not just for sale, but discounted!) at a Walgreens in Springfield. I sincerely hope that when this post pops up three years from now as a memory I have no idea why I included this.
