First, I would love to interject that Texas has some of the best billboards along the interstates highways. They are all funny, even if they aren't supposed to be. Some of the stellar signs that come to mind include:
Vodka Ad: "The reason Edward Snowden wishes he seeked asylum in Poland"
Waterpark Ad: "Wet your pants"
Impeach Obama Ad: "He failed to live up to Kennedy's dream" *Coupled with image of the moon landing*
Then there was Buc ee's, which was a caliber of its own. We had never encountered these before, and could not for the life of us figure out what they meant. Billboards were posted at uneven intervals along the interstates, each with the cartoon beaver logo with slogans such as:"I dream of beavers"
"Got porcelein?"
"The Eyes of Buc-ee's are upon you"
"Keep calm and Buc-ee on"
"Don't stay thirsty my friends"
"All roads lead to Buc-ee's"
Eventually we came to the conclusion that Buc ee's is a truck stop chain, and we ended up passing two of them over the course of the weekend. Steven was sleeping in the back of the car when we passed the first one. Kaitlyn woke him up to point out that we finally found the Buc ee's. Later in the day, he asked us, "... did we actually pass a Buc-ee's, or did I dream it?"
Perhaps we will dream of beavers.
