Traveling a centennial road, hoping others join me



In the past few months, I've been working on a new adventure -- traveling Old Route 66 to unravel the persons, places, things and more that still exist on the historic route for the benefit of Route 66 fans and seekers.

U.S. Route 66, known as "The Main Street of America," connected Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California, from 1926 to 1985, when it was officially decommissioned. It's become a symbol of American freedom and adventure.

That adventure turns 100 in 2026.

And my weekly newsletter on the platform Substack will help document the persons, places, things and more that make life interesting.

The latest newsletter profiles the American Giants Museum in Atlanta, Illinois.

You're welcome to check it out:

A landscape photo featuring the sun and a barn signal “hope, heaven and happiness.” “Hope, heaven and happiness”—the promise of these three are worth waking up to.

Luna moth, what is it good for? Something

  The luna moth my husband and I saw on our side porch screen caused us to conduct research. The research was short, much like the luna moth’s life span. It lives for about a week after it leaves its cocoon as a moth, National Geographic said. The luna moth doesn’t eat. It plays a role in pollination, though. Luna moth – important for something.
