uniquely American things

What is/are your uniquely American images?

Uniquely American

In no particular order

The Amish living peacefully in their way
A smoke filled diner on a busy street filled with calloused hands
A tractor trailer passing a VW beetle at 75 in the middle of the night along 95
A USO bus in a hot Florida city windows open
A bicycle all decked out in red white and blue on the fourth with a girl’s large smile
A bum helped in from cold by a child who noticed
Volunteers signing up to help
The patience of visitors to our national treasures hot with child hanging on them in awe of it all
The Salvation Army taking a family lost for a moment and helping them along
A tall church steeple on a dirt road with little sign of anything else
A V8 engine with four barrel and no muffler filled with a bunch of kids looking cool going too fast
A worker staying late to tutor another
Stuckey’s surprise packages promised to the kids to keep them quiet till the next destination
A big MAC, KFC, Dunkin donuts, drive throughs
Cruising a Bob’s Big Boy
Friday dances where you only stood and the girls danced
Revving the engine and racing off the line as the light changes
Corn fields upon corn fields upon corn fields
April 15th

let me stop…

It seems to me that the uniquely American things are the small things that sometimes go unnoticed.

Boy, hard question, but my computer tells me October 03, 2007 and while a view out the windows reveals earth and sky, I live in the city of brotherly love.

This is a tale of two Normans. One poster is channelling Norman Rockwell, the other's channelling Norman Mailer.

I prefer the Rockwell but that's just me

That's a nice analogy and somewhat true as I wonder if this can be re-written. So I have to think about that for a bit.
