With the high cost of diesel fuel, I upgraded the Newmar RV and Ford truck to cold gas thrusters.

Might still need rocket boosters 🚀 and a heat shield before the next hop.

Starlink Mini 💫 on my dash during Alaska visit remarkable safer and more productive. Highly recommended! https://t.co/VC12fhXaGK

Jefferson Memorial fun fact: It sits on the edge of the Tidal Basin and one of the most photographed views in Washington, especially during the annual cherry blossom season… When it was built, locals protested the destruction of the Japanese Cherry blossom trees by chaining themselves to the trees.

WW II Memorial. Found it curious that there was no big WW I memorial. Washington had national memorials for Vietnam, Korea, and World War II before it had one for World War I (which ended in 1919). Not a fan of war but trying to catch up on history that I missed in school.
