For those who have time to burn.....here are my tales of cat vomit, culture shock American-style, faux pas involving large turds and lingerie (not in the same stories thankfully), Gynecology exams gone awry, and other misadventures.....all true (although at times, names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent).

Will that be one hump or two?

Recently, while driving through the Ozarks in Arkansas, we saw a house with camels in the front yard (not just one camel...but two).  What the....?  This was not a petting zoo, or a camel farm, or a sanctuary ---just someone's fenced in front yard, with a couple of camels strolling around.  We rode camels in Egypt and Morocco----but that makes sense.  You know....sand, desert, pyramids....camels belong there don't they. ----But Camels + Ozark Mountains = My what strange lives we lead up here yonder in the mountains where no one can really monitor what we are up to.  .....And what are they up to? What are they doing with those camels?  Are they pets?  Modes of Ozark transportation?  Food????  Leftover camels from the Civil War?  Well, I wanted to stop and go up to their door and ask them.  But Dallas just kept driving. Then he looked at me and said (with a redneck southern drawl) " Yer not in Oz anymore Dorothy" 

and just in case you thought I was kidding.....
