Par for this Presidency. He's probably in favor of feeding the loser to the alligators

I’ve found the National Park Service sites helpful for initial planning. https://www.nps.gov/subjects/travelroute66/visit.htm For the Lewis and Clark trail individual state searches was also a helpful, especially for maps

July 3 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/july-3/washington-takes-command-of-continental-army On July 3, 1775, George Washington rides out in front of the American troops gathered at Cambridge common in Massachusetts and draws his sword, formally taking command of the Continental Army. Washington, a prominent Virginia planter and veteran of the French and Indian War, had been appointed commander in chief by the Continental Congress two weeks before. In agreeing to serve the American colonies in their war for independence, he declined to accept payment for his services beyond reimbursement of future expenses. July 3, 1863: On the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s last attempt at breaking the Union line ends in disastrous failure, bringing the most decisive battle of the American Civil War to an end. Idaho is admitted to the union on July 3, 1890. Exploration of the North American continent mostly proceeded inward from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and northward from Spanish Mexico. Therefore, the rugged territory that would become Idaho long remained untouched by Spanish, French, British and American trappers and explorers. Even as late as 1805, Idaho Native Americans like the Shoshone had never encountered Europeans.

He’s Trump’s bitch alright

Not to mention that those who aren’t are leaving town for the weekend.

I'm 73 with a lung condition. They'll figure I'm not worth the effort. Especially once they kill medicare

Do I get to choose between Germany and Ireland. Are they willing to give me a cottage and a small stipend. Come on TACO make me an offer.

I say we start with the guy wearing the TACAO hat and his sidekick who looks like a character from Pinky and the Brain

It's more than that. When their constituents lose their jobs or have to finance their parents housing and healthcare, the cult members will end up blaming Congress and "Spendthrift" Democrats. Trump will get off free because he keeps handing out the Kool-Aid

More from today's JVL piece. He nails it.

If the MAGA' s had any gonads they would explain this to us. But like TACO they are in reality Girly Men From today's JVL

BTW There is also a Harriett Tubman Underground Railroad site in Maryland. https://www.nps.gov/hatu/planyourvisit/basicinfo.htm We did a quick walk around during a quick trip to the Eastern Shore. Just outside Church Creek near the bridge on RT 50. Was an informative spot and a nice area to walk the dog

Incidentlly, we're leaving tomorrow for our first "Great Adventure" in years. Basically following the Lewis and Clark Trail. After spending the Weekend visiting my son and grandson in Detroit, we'll head for Ashland, Ky to start the trek. We're hoping to end up in Bozeman,MT in about three weeks before heading back. decided trying to hit the Pacific and back was a bit too much travel at one time

Love Thomas the Tank. Spent many hours several years ago watching it with my grandson.

One of my memories of visiting Erie way back in my youth was visiting a fish hatchery along the highway nearby. Thousands of perch flopping around in holding ponds just off the Lake. That should be the new logo. Lake Erie Yellow Perch
