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.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.
So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.
You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.
For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!
A simple joy, bona fides, even, for this Tuesday!
Today, pictures from valued commenter Doug R.
Found this while going through my late Dad’s papers. I guess politics runs in my family.
Sam Ervin Jr letter
(Form) Letter from Senator Sam Ervin Jr to my father during Watergate.
Thank you so much Doug R, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

Jeeebs, Ervin had the signature of a 3rd Grader. Cool find.

Kerning looks awfully suspicious…
(I kid, I kid.)

Wow, can you imagine a Devin Nunes or Trey Gowdy writing that? Cool, thanks Doug R.
Schlemazel
Spiffy note!
rikyrah
That was so cool ?

From an era where there were still moderate, sane Republicans who took the Constitution and laws seriously. What a sad situation we all are in now because Republicans like that don’t exist anymore.

@satby: actually, Sam was a Democrat and my senator growing up in NC. Had the pleasure of meeting him when I was around 10.
Thanks for posting this. Made me smile first thing this AM.
(Sam also helped bring down McCarthy)

Someone should tweet that in 240-character pieces to Trump.

@OzarkHillbilly: In that case, I know a lot of other adults with “3rd grade sigs”, about which I respectfully disagree with you.

@satby: I agree with you about the utter degeneration of the GOP but the fact is that Sam Ervin was a Democrat not a Republican.
ETA: Oops Quinerly made my point (or one of them).

I tried to submit a pic but am not sure it worked. I got a prompt about checking the capcha box even though I’d done so.
The form might need some work. If the submission was successful, all fields should be cleared and there should be a confirmation.
