I 70 was down to zero lanes
Aug. 20th, 2025 09:14 pmMade it to OH and seriously they were working on the white divider line of the two lanes of I-70 W (because it looked like it had been bombed out when I drove back in June) so two lanes of traffic had to become 1 lane on the shoulder because they had both lanes closed. This really slowed me down. I didn't get back here until after 7 pm, a 4 hour trip was about 1 1/2 hours longer.
My neighbors STUFFED Rocket. He's fat as a house. Also he's been obviously playing with her 3 dogs (a teacup chihuahua, a yorkie mix and a shiz tsu mix) to the point where they were playing the my pee is better than your pee game, he went over and peed higher than the rest. Eye roll. BOYS.
What I Just Finished Reading:
The Wood - It was good but the ending felt rushed
What I am Currently Reading:
What Can't be Said - a Sebastian St. Cyr book I love this series
Atlas of Unknowable Things - this is strange, good but weird
What I Plan to Read Next:
The Secret of the Orange Blossom Cake - I bumped this to here
And finally pictures from my trip BUT not the auto museum (mostly because I had put this originally on my dying flash drive and only a few of them are there)
I didn't do a lot of steampunk ones. here's a few of me (i'm missing one I wanted...)
Me Day One
Rat Catcher Couple
You can't see it but it had a dragon tail too
Me day 2
And day 3
Beyond the Battlefield Museum
Apparently there were actual markers for the Mason Dixon Line with family crests on them including Penn (for PA)
The Shriver House Museum
The attic where the rebels had busted out bits of the wall to fire on the people. At least two are known to have been shot in here and when it was luminaled it glowed like Vegas
The family owned a saloon, in the basement
Bullet strikes in the side of the Shriver house
Jennie Wade's grave. She's the only civilian casualty (that's a sun flare not a ghost)
Just a random shot in the Hershey Story Museum
I have a few photos from the Hershey Botanical Gardens
Two blue morphos (brown butterflies on the right) and a swallowtail. Three seconds later one of those morphos was sitting on the swallowtail burying it in the food
Didn't get the name of this one
Nor this one
Dead Leaf Butterfly
In the 1930s this rose was dedicated to Mr. Hershey
Much later they dedicated this cultivar to Kitty Hershey
A tiny bit of Hershey park and the Kiss Streetlights are everywhere
The botanical garden
the candy haul (don't judge!)
