βœˆοΈπŸ—ΊοΈ Not that you might be in the neighborhood, but if you do get there, stop in to Muddy Miser’s for lunch on the Muskingum River in Zanesville. Great β€œstuff” on the walls.

Travel is not always smooth. Customer service is not always there and ready to help. And countless hours of re-scheduling and cancelations are becoming the norm for long distance traveling. But I still love it and am always amazed at some travelers inability to cope. It’s a comedy special

If you like festivals, ya need to check this one out. In it’s 19th year, Nelsonville Music Festival. Here was Taj Mahal performing yesterday. Please don’t tell too many people about it, it’s small, friendly and unspoiled for 19 years. And the venue itself is stunning

A perfect day to visit the Hirshhorn museum in Washington DC and see the artwork and graffiti of the Brazilian twins Gustavo and Otavio Pandolfo known as OSGEMEOS. It’s a shame the rest of DC doesn’t give off such beautiful vibes

I know I’m getting older but honestly on a nine hour flight there has to be better options than Key Largo and To Catch a Thief. A day full of Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly and Cary Grant…..might need to start downloading my own βœˆοΈπŸ—ΊοΈ

I’ve known you’re in the UK and of course if I’m ever in the β€œneighborhood”, I’ll stop by. The closest we’ve come to you has been a barge trip through Scotland a few years ago. Not nimble enough for hiking type vacations but can still find the odd trip. Take care…..great to see ya on Blue Sky

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Ubahn and buses on strike today. Been able to maneuver on Sbahn. Is that a requirement for German residency?

I don’t think so,but honestly don’t feel like I know the answer….so unaware of the food while absorbing other sites. Traveled with family/grandkids and Romanian friend. Lots of distractions

As I sit in my flat in Berlin watching coverage of the Munich Security Conference I realized the US position is being articulated by a drunk newsreader and a faux hillbilly. Can’t really make this shit up!!!!

When I left home on our current trip my backyard looked like this and my president was not orange.
It’s gonna be a strange return trip next week.

Yeah they will get away with it if they really want to. They are bullies, thugs, and convicted felons.
