This was my USPS package of the week. From CA directly to my local town of Richmond, Va. Then they decided to ship it 2 hours east to Tappahannock, VA. Before returning it back to its destination of Richmond. Just a simple day delay. Which, TBH, is great for them! They usually take 3-4 days to recover from their simple mistakes! :roll:

I stopped on the side of Va Rt 301 on the way to a job in Maryland last week to take a pic of this marker. The actual location of JWB's death used to be marked in a part of the median in the middle of the road, but these days there is nothing to mark it, as the state does not want you to stop for it. For safety sake, I can completely understand as you used to have to park on the side of the road and hike across a 55-60mph highway to get there, and of course since most people are idiots these days, more deaths would occur at this location. As I remember it, there was just a stone in the ground to mark the spot, so nothing to really see anyway. Just kinda fascinating that the location of where one of the US' most infamous assassins died is in the median of a modern local highway.

Could be possible, but it's almost hard to believe a millennial wrote this, because;
1) Attempt to use punctuation was used (which seems to take a very large amount of self-discipline & effort nowadays).
2) They know the difference between there, their & they're, and actually have a care to use the word correctly.

They used separators, which for most of that generation is a rarity, but they used a lot of the wrong one. :lol:

Sorry, but I can't identify with "they built different".... that makes it sounds like us old goats have three legs, or extra arms coming out of our belly buttons, or something similar :shock: .

You're right. Had to edit my above post. But I still give millennials a browny point for a good attempt of using it. :lol:

Had a no prep race in Salt Lake City this weekend so we stopped by Antelope island on the way home today. Beautiful place even though the Great Salt Lake isn’t looking so hot these days

Running the 1:1 bike today...

A day with high (34°C) and low (10°C), and some rain. My bike did not run since almost 2020... 400 kms, partly under (heavy) rain, but smile under the helmet the whole day :-)
I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them :-)
