Yes. Full screen all the way,, October November December, The only 3 months out of the year you don't need too much windshield washer fluid for Bugs, But then you got to use a lot of blue antifreeze in windshield washer fluid, For all the freezing salt stuff, Cost more in the winter to keep the windows clean while you're rolling, Thank you for sharing so much it's nice to see the rest of the country of America from you living room

Beautiful sunset! Along with seeing places I've never been, I'm learning about different parts of our country. Had no idea there were swamps or rice grown in Arkansas, thought that was just Louisiana, Alabama. Combination of heat and humidity is miserable!! Thanks for great video. 👍☺️

Yeah, from that old movie, "Picnic" (William Holden, Kim Novack, Cliff Robertson), I'd thought that that Kansas wheat operation was HUGE; but that's a pipsqueak, compared to this rice operation. This . . . is staggeringly COLOSSAL! You see all of these rice elevators off in the distance, you think you're pulling into a major megalopolis, with all of its skyscrapers. Oh my word, this complex just has to cover about Ten Square Miles!

I have been all over central Arkansas. I cannot tell you how many times I have been to Pine Bluff, Stuttgart, Lonoke, Conway, Jacksonville, Benton, Hot Springs, and many other places. Little Rock and Pulaski County maybe conservative politically but socially and culturally it is a progressive area. I was shocked to see Southwest Little Rock in such a sad shape and decay. While most of the area was thriving, Southwest Little Rock looked like a Mexican barrio, and that is so sad. By the way how did that area survive the high waters on the Arkansas River? The Arkansas River splits North Little Rock from Little Rock and meanders to the northeast of Pine Bluff on US-79.
