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!
Today World Cup 2018 begins. This is the biggest sporting event on our humble planet. The first game is at 11 am Eastern and I hope some other FPer will be hosting World Cup duties. I will be watching many games over the next month and have my favorites to root for/against, but it’s always exciting to see a story appear before your eyes, and to root for a team you’d never cared for before. I’m not much of a sports fan, but it really doesn’t get better than the World Cup!
I’m already budgeting for the 2026 WC in North America as there’s no way I’m going to either Russia this year, nor Qatar in 2022. It’s not the expense so much as the host countries. I am much more favorable on Qatar compared to some of its Gulf neighbors, but I still have serious labor and human rights concerns for the labor force constructing the necessary infrastructure for the matches, so I won’t attend.
Before affairs of men, let’s take another look at the glorious natural world.
