A place to catalog my travels to nowhere in particular, what I’m reading, and enjoyable podcasts. Love history, America and of course my family—Beat Navy!

Reinventing myself on X with some of my passions outside of my kids and grandkids. Love Presidential history and history in general. Always looking for something cool and new to see and learn about!

@CorpBarnaby The unit was required to change their moniker too, they could no longer be called the Stonewall Brigade

@PrezWisdom It has to be an incredible weight to carry know you are the mastermind behind such a destructive force regardless of the necessity, but ultimately it was on the President to make the decision and carry whatever burden to his grave.

Few other pix from the National road

[TravelswMax @inmaxcar]

Normally I try to find some historical site on my way to a job site; however, this week the Mrs. And I are on the US 40 National Road yard sale. Heading west from Wheeling on the old National Road is a very beautiful display on Americana. Historically is the S bridge and Zanesville's Y bridge as well as many of the original slightly restored mile markers.

It was many years ago that I was fortunate to spend 4 days in Paris. The history and architecture lover in me really enjoyed it. So much to see and do, just sitting at a cafe for an hour absorbing the scene and scenery is really cool. The service workers I delt with didn't make me feel welcome, but like someone else mentioned if you had to deal with tourists all day it would likely make anyone a little cranky

Spending the day at the 110th running of the greatest spectacle in racing with a dear old friend.

@elonmusk @IntoGeo A great American!!!!

[TravelswMax @inmaxcar]

@IntoGeo W/O cheating I came up with Brazil, Portugal and of all things Senegal. Of the two remaining, I can't believe I couldn't think of it and the other I doubt would have ever come to mind

@IntoGeo "Nothing like it in the world" by Ambrose is a great read on the topic

[TravelswMax @inmaxcar]

I also discovered these today!

[TravelswMax @inmaxcar]

Today I traveled through northern Indiana and began to stumble on these gems. Apparently I was traveling thru Fulton County which is known as "the round barn capital of the world". I also found out that Indiana has over 220 but the largest is in Wisconsin. They were only constructed between 1890 and 1920 for the use of dairy farms.
