Travel does broaden one.

I observed this last week on the door of our pet-friendly hotel in Chattanooga:


I don't recall ever seeing these two admonitions expressed together in such polite fashion on any surface anywhere. Being the rule-followers that we are, we managed to keep the Luckies and the Luger in the glove box of our car.

When my husband and I were cruising Savannah on the hunt for the Savannah College of Art and Design (which is pretty much a presence throughout this lovely city), I had a chance to revisit the Paris Market and Brocante (as seen in Country Living and a million other publications). Just inside their door, there was a chalkboard filled with scraps and letters and advice and color. (I'm thinking about doing this same thing, only leaving it on my driveway.)

Help Cure My Writer's Block! Give me a Topic.
Questions?
I've Got Answers
I love people who have answers.


Wish I'd thought of that.

Le sigh, to quote my friend Carly.

There was a lot more to take in of this collage, most of it generated by an honest-to-goodness typewriter.


But all those delicious French tchotchkes were calling to me, so I left before finding out the true meaning of life.


And of course, there were those waiting for me just outside on Broughton Street.

This post elicited a genuine LOL from me! Funniest blog on the planet? Yes!

The next time I see you I hope you bring your Luckies and your Luger so I can see.

Well. No wonder you stayed in Smyrna on your way back...
Looks like Savannah agrees with da boyz.

It's a shame. You pay $29 for a hotel room with a flush toilet and they make you lock your cigarettes and guns in the car!
