Ohioans are weird.

Speaking of NASCAR, Plagioclase & I had an interesting experience yesterday evening travelling home from my mother's. We were on I-75 south of Bowling Green, and saw cars full of people sitting in the fields by the side of the road. P. was certain that there was something going on in the air (balloons? air show?), until he realized that there were cars on both sides of the freeway pointed so the people were looking at the freeway.

And then we started seeing them. Jack Daniels. Interstate Batteries. Fedex*Kinkos. The tractor-trailers that haul the cars and gear for the NASCAR teams were heading south away from the recently-completed race at the Michigan International Speedway. The UK has trainspotters; Ohio has NASCAR spotters. Who'da thunk it?
