behold majestic kings on real camels...

i told the clerk at the convenience store that i noticed a lot of dumptrucks and construction vehicles on the roads. things appear to be humming in sevierville and pigeon forge tennessee. "o yes," she said every year pigeon forge is just "biggr and bitter than EE-ver..." i like to visit the area, not just because sevierville is dolly parton's hometown and the location of "dollywood" — with its dolly parton museum and wig collection; it cant go wrong — but because its one of the largest sprawl developments in the world. branson MO/silver dollar city and bloomington MN/mall of america are its only rivals in terms of size.
so every year its bigger. more fireworks stores; "sexy stuff" lingerie outlets; bible bookstores; tshirt stores; and miles and miles and miles of franchises. the major cultural attractions in the greater gattlinburg area are the "dixie stampede" dinner theater ("hilarious ostrich and pig races ... pitting the north against the south in family friendly fun rivalry"); forbidden caverns; parrot mountain ("hundreds of tropical birds in a garden of eden setting"); various ripley's "adventure theaters"; elwood smooch's old smoky hoedown; and of course "the miracle" — "a stunning faith-based musical of epic proportion!" see "magnificent aerial battle of angles... witness lucifer's fall from grace ... see the birth of christ in all its glory ... behold majestic kings on real camels ... feel the wind and rain as jesus calms the sea ... experience the passion of His crucifixion ... behold His miraculous acsension!" i guess im always trying to understand america. thats why im drawn to places like pigeon forge. my brother and i visited for the first time about 20 years ago. he and my sister-in-law purchased gifts for their wedding party at the smokey mountian knife works. and so, i keep on going back. but each time i go, it seems like i understand america Less.

the bears roar interupts the silent canoe. the lynx is startled. the heron looks on. regulation fire and safety lighting has been installed.

jumping an elk and diggin in those claws is always patriotic. go for the juguler baby.
a polar bear in a case bears the inscription "souveniers of alaska". are the snowshoes leftovers from his lunch?
