Continuing on Route 66 out of California and into Arizona, the first stop is Topock / Golden Shores. Let's see what I found there: https://edwardiseverywhere.blogspot.com/2026/04/topock-and-golden-shores-arizona-on.html

My second stop on Route 66. This time it's Needles, California which was the first city you'd see in California if you were traveling west on 66.

Recently I decided to take a drive on Route 66. This is the 100 year anniversary of the road, and, even though it is mostly obsolete, it is well worth spending time on. The first stretch I did was between Amboy and Needles in California. https://edwardiseverywhere.blogspot.com/

I went to see the #CherryBlossoms in the Kenwood neighborhood of #BethesdaMD yesterday afternoon. Lots of people walking around and lots of beautiful trees. #UrbanCherryBlossom https://blog.pagebypagebooks.com/2026/03/kenwood-cherry-blossoms.html
I was just listening to this on NPR, apparently one of the reason airfares are going up is because of "crack spread" https://www.npr.org/2026/03/25/nx-s1-5759714/your-next-flight-doesnt-have-to-be-so-expensive-heres-why

Yesterday I went to Glenstone, which is a free art museum in Potomac with an interesting mix of art, nature, and some architecture. https://blog.pagebypagebooks.com/2026/03/visiting-glenstone-museum.html

Curiously, the Charlie Kirk banner is gone from the Department of Education building in DC. The Kirk banner was the third from the right, you can see the empty space in photos. Also the name on the building is damaged and the banner that was above it is no longer there either. Pictures because it happened:
