Sharon Wood writes:  "After a visit to Yellowstone's Old Faithful, our family stopped at a gas station outside of the park.  Our daughter leaned over a water fountain, and just as she was about to take a sip, the water shot up and sprayed her face.

The  gas station attendant smiled and said, 'That's why we call it Old Faceful!

Better get to visit Mexico City soon, because it is fast disappearing. This enormous city of over 22 million people was built on top of a lake and the city is sinking back into that lake as time goes by.

Can you imagine a city of 22 million people?  How do all those people survive?

If you want to have fun, and have the time and money, try a trip on Route 66.  This was once a major interstate thoroughfare that came upon bad times when President Eisenhauer pushed for Atomic Bomb Escape Routes.

I read where 80% of the road is still fun to drive on... if you can find it.

Back in the 1950's we followed the Route to California.  I'm told that a ride today will emulate the fun of that era,

"If you ever plan to motor west,

Travel my way, take the highway that is best.

Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

... Now you go through saint looey

Joplin, missouri,

And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.

You see amarillo,

Gallup, new mexico,

Flagstaff, arizona,

Don't forget winona,

Kingman, barstow, san bernadino.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip

When you make that california trip

Get your kicks on route sixty-six."
