So, this was an unexpected voicemail to receive. It was apparently an email(?) read aloud to my voicemail by a T-Mobile operator, asking me about a random blog post about the only way way to drive directly from Missouri to Kentucky, an artifact of one of my (weird) “state border crossings” quest.
Eric Kufrin That is weird. I can only make wild guesses about what that person is trying to do? Smuggle moonshine? Smuggle something else? What other possible reason to avoid main roads?
Eugene Glover @rscottjones … well, at least they didn’t ask for you to send them iTunes gift cards right away.
R Scott Jones @mountainscalling.me on top of that, the blog post in question is pretty specific about how this is a weird way to cross a state border onto a small island in the middle of a river without any other outlet and dead-ending at a private farm…so, uh, hmmm.
