The mascots for the 2024 Olympics in Paris is called The Phryges. 

It's a style of cap (or hat).  The mascot is a hat. I find that strange. 

The  sand volleyball court is right near the Eiffel Tower. A beautiful backdrop.

A cap mascot. Knowing it's the French kinda explains some of that but still.........

I saw the lighting of the Olympic tourch with all the pageantry and solmnness involved. I got all choked up thinking of the rich traditions dating back to the first Olympics.

At one point when I was a girl my family took a trip to Indiana, and I recall seeing signs on U.S. 30 for the Lincoln Highway. I wonder if they're still there?

OMG. We had a post like that in my hometown. Never gave it much thought, it was just there by the side of the street.

We knew it was either the Lincoln Highway or Highway 30. In our town the city street name was Lincoln Way.

Wonder what fine upstanding citizen has that one  >:(

Highway 30 for years has bypassed the town but it's not forgotten. Every summer they have Lincoln Highway Days. It's a small town kinda celebration. I've never been but my sister writes about it from time to time.

I grew up in a small town on the Bankhead Highway, a United States cross-country automobile highway connecting Washington, D.C., and San Diego. The Bankhead Highway's beginnings can be traced back to 1916 when the Bankhead Highway Association was organized to promote the highway's development. It was part of the National Auto Trail system. The road was named for Alabama politician John H. Bankhead, a leader in the early national road-building movement.

The road is still called Bankhead Highway in my town, and is a two lane blacktop, as it was 100 years ago. Interstate 20 passes to the north.

Wow. Has no idea a New Yorker would be a fan. Guess I was raised a bit east of Omaha in central Iowa. Little town called Nevada. Born in Las Vegas actually. Dad was in the Army Air Corps out there. He'd been discharged but  my mother was still covered for her medical bills until after my birth as I was conceived while Dad was in the service.

In my baby book is the bill they had to pay for me. $15.00. Yeah I was cheap. Now I'm cheap and easy.


I was born and raised in the Chicago area, and I didn't move to NYC until I was in my late 20s. Though I've now lived in NYC for 16 years, I'm still a Midwestern girl at heart.

I'm also a geography nerd, and I'm aware that Chicago isn't the halfway point across the country, it's less than the 1/3 of the way point. At one point when I was a girl my family took a trip to Indiana, and I recall seeing signs on U.S. 30 for the Lincoln Highway. I wonder if they're still there?

One of the main tunnels into Mobile Alabama is called Bankhead. Never understood why a tunnel was needed, until I realized that mobile sits on the only dry patch of land surrounded by a tributary so they had to build bridges and tunnels to get into the city, lol.

Can't remember if it was around the Mobile area that I toured the USS Alabama and a submarine that was nearby. Also visited Hank Aaron's boyhood home in Mobile, that was full of his baseball memorabilia.

Yeah, the USS Alabama sits outside of Mobile. Hank Aaron's home is almost a shrine to what baseball truly was.

If my memory serves me right, and that is a big "if" lately, we took a small car ferry across Mobile Bay to reach Mobile as we were travelling the back roads of Alabama and ended up on one side of the bay. Also can remember a plaque on the ferry stating that President Obama took the ferry the year before.

In the summer of 1947, a woman walked into a drug store in Memphis, Tennessee, to drop off film to be developed when she realized she had one exposure left.

She noticed a young boy outside the drugstore and asked him to pose with his bicycle so she could finish the roll and turn it in.

Only years later did she realise that it was a 12 year old Elvis Presley.
