The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Is it Possible for Something to Be Negative but Have Some Positives? We Now Have Dermophis donaldtrumpi!!!!


Ahh, yes. I was speaking of our president, Donald Trump. We all will admit he's made the lives of our late night talk show hosts much easier. There's always fodder for the shows readily plucked from the news of Trump's latest lies or fuck-ups. But, here's a good one. We shouldn't name a library after him or, heck, even a street-but a worm-looking thing I think would be perfect. The worm thing is blind and buries its head in the sand. Take a look.

Hmm. Just learned there's also a moth named after him. And, a poisonous caterpillar and a pheasant. So when Trump is no longer president, he may not be able to claim he was rated the best but he can surely claim no other president can top him in the number of insects and worms named after him.
