Pity Delaware

I remember the gold old days when a U-Haul truck had pictures on the side for each state of the union and the picture helped identify that state. For example, the New York truck would have the Statue of Liberty and the Kentucky truck has some blue grass singers. It’s been years since I’ve seen a more simple U-Haul truck. I even drive past a U-Haul rental place often and haven’t seen one in a while. Instead, they have pictures like this:



Now, for one, I do not associate the tiny state of Delaware as having big vacuum cleaner fish, nor do I really sleep well at night knowing that some poor guy’s stuff is being guarded by one. What gives? Is this some kind of weird campaign to teach people about the cool world around us? An attempt to get people to be more fascinated and care about the nature and all the things that are in it? Why not put up a picture for what Delaware is really known for? Wait, what is Delaware known for? Besides being the first state that is…

Wow, even Kansas has sunflowers. Poor Delaware, okay, maybe they can have a vacuum cleaner fish. Barooooommmmm!!!
