I really get a kick out of those moments when I'm watching "World's Wildest Police Chases," and they play a video shot from chasing a miscreant through a county nearby.
"Laurens county. This officer has pulled over a driver with a broken taillight. What he doesn't know is that the driver has a meth lab in the trunk of his car. When the officer notices the driver acting nervous, he asks the driver to step out of the car."
(The car takes off. The officer runs to the cruiser.)
"This driver has no problem breaking speed limits ..."
Officer: "This guy's a maniac!"
(The car almost spins off the road in a sharp turn.)
"... to get his point across."
Officer: "This guy just doesn't care about anything."
(The car zips down a road, where a sign reads "Greenwood 8 miles.")

One of life's little pleasures

I watched a lot of "World's Wildest Police Chases" back in my stoner days. It's like real-life Grand Theft Auto.
Greenwood, huh...I do believe that's my brother-in-law's hometown.
It's a great town.
On the way in, there are those "Greenwood 8 miles" signs. Then a mile or so down the road, there's another, still saying 8 miles. Then a little later, ANOTHER one saying 8 miles.
No matter where you go, you're perpetually 8 miles from Greenwood.
The town itself reminds me of my beloved Newport.
