Day 65: 11/10/06
On the road again...We pass through the bootheel of Missouri and move into the flatlands of Arkansas. If Arkansas is pronounced AR-CAN-SAW, shouldn't Kansas be pronounced CAN-SAW? Just wondering your opinion. We debated the issue for 15, maybe 20 seconds. 
Since we're such HUGE Elvis fans, we hopped off the interstate and gave the king a quick shoutout. Everybody lip twitch in unison. Thank you very much. 
A little further down the road, we hit Winona, Mississippi. Kind of like our hometown of Winona, MN, only without the hotdish and bars don't ya know. Oh geez...

I think the State of Arkansas has it all wrong. The Arkansas river is pronounced ar-kan-sas, like the State of Kansas with "ar" in front. The state should be proununced like the river. Afterall, it is all about the river!
Good Luck!
