On May 9, 2010, the day after the wedding near Valdosta, I moved on west on U.S. 84, passing through Thomasville in Thomas County and on through Cairo in Grady County. Somewhere in Grady County I came across this strange-looking structure beside the road near someone's driveway. I saw another structure of some kind behind it, but couldn't see clearly what it was. I did not feel motivated to check it out. Whoever put up an oddity like this might not welcome visitors.
The crudely-painted sign said “God Will Deliver on Time.” What did it mean? I have no idea. Perhaps it was a proclamation of religious faith, or perhaps he was just frustrated with the U.S. Postal Service, or maybe Fed-Ex.
The Praying Tree
May 9 was a good day for strange and unusual finds. Beside "God Will Deliver on Time" and Dewey White's "Flower Bed," I found, in a field beside GA 262 in Decatur County, a praying tree. Maybe there's something in that south Georgia air.
