Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

How stupid are these people?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Let there be snark.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

T R E 4 5 O N

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

We will not go back.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Folks,

We’re trying a new feature here, so let’s see how it goes for the next week or so before it’s fully automated.

This post is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are.

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

    Buy a man an airline ticket and he will fly for a day.

    Push a man out of an airplane and he will fly for the rest of his life.

    Good Morning from the funky Cameron Trading Post,Motel, and Restaurant. Had an awesome morning yesterday at Mary Colter’s ? Watch Tower at the less used Desert View entrance to the Grand Canyon (basically should have stayed at that end of the South Rim or at the Hermit’s Rest end all day because in that hell hole of Grand Canyon Village I was dodging Asian tourists with selfie sticks and young American women with dogs in purses…a Maltese is going to get decapitated, I tell you). 23 degrees and very windy. The Grand Canyon is spectacular as we all know…here once with my parents in the early 1970’s. I remember nothing about the Watch Tower and Hermit’s Rest from that trip. Have a bit of a Mary Colter and Fred Harvey theme to this trip…read three books on them, her designs, history, and the history of travel to the SW and the Grand Canyon. Tell Ozark, I think I’m heading to Sedona today for a day trip. Poco had difficulty with the concepts of dogs in purses and what guard rails are for. He spent most of the day in his bedroom in the 2 bedroom (Ford) Escape. Have a great day, guys. Thanks for all the interest and comments.

    I am so, so sorry. I lost my mother a little over a year ago and my dad in 2008. It’s tough. All three of us were only children. Our own little tribe. Hang in there. It does get better but it’s never the same. Peace be with you.

    Heading out shortly for two days (the correct days this time) of knitting and fun at the New England Textile Arts Spa weekend. This time my mom is staying with a friend and kid came home to watch the dog.

    @Schlemazel:
    Love this at #7. Missed it when I was first “blowing” through the comments. Going to have to remember it. Is it a Schlemazel original?

    @Elizabelle:
    So glad you piped in! La Posada has been one of the highlights of the trip. Needed more time there. If you haven’t done it, check out all things Tina Mion on line. As for Mary Colter, much of this trip was inspired by reading about her. The book that started it all a few years back was “Appetite for America (mostly about the Fred Harvey empire). Suggested Mary books: “Mary Colter: Architect of the SW,” “Watch Tower at Desert View,” “Mary Coulter: Builder Upon the Red Earth.” Finally, a great little book called “Over the Edge.” It’s about the Santa Fe RR coming to the Grand Canyon and covers 5 (maybe 6) of her buildings here. Yes, I’m a traveling nerd. I research these long trips and stops 6 months in advance.?

    I’m sorry for your loss. And you are right, it never gets easy/easier, we just become a little better at dealing with.

    Take care of yourself, after the flurry of immediacy is over. Take your time with everything, no need to hurry now…
