On the Road and In Your Backyard

Good Morning All,

On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!

Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com

 

And, for those who use Healthcare.gov or your local state-based Exchange, please ensure that you’re covered for 2019. The Trump fuckheads reduced the sign-up period, so come the 15th, it’s all over, man!

Please, protect yourself and your family by signing up before the 15th. It won’t take much time, and the sooner it’s done, the better.

 

Ok – back on message – Have a wonderful day and weekend, and enjoy the little glimpse of heaven.

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter JoeyJoeJoe.

I went last week in Hawaii, visiting for the first time. My friend went with me, and has now been to every state.

Thank you so much JoeyJoeJoe, 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.
