    What are your top 10 travel destinations?

    Adventure happens when least expected. Making the most of a boring place.

    • Meeting the Smothers Brothers in a bar Minnesota
    • 88 laps around a 1 mile track in Longview, Washington., part of it in wind driven snow.
    • Breaking into a Rental car facility in Boulder Colorado because I turned in my cell phone with my rental car.
    • Sleeping in the Philadelphia airport for the entire snowy weekend
    •  The customs agents in Columbia that only spoke German for some reason
    • 20 straight Flights to Dallas being served Orzo and vegetables.
    • The perfect vegan hoagie in Hershey Pennsylvania while going to visit my dad

    If everything went according to plan while traveling, what stories will we have to tell?

    What is your favorite quote?

    One of my all-time favorite books is it’s a Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan.

    In this book he explores much of the thinking behind a cult, and various conspiracy theories. The following quote has great relevancy today. This book came out in the 1990s and his quote still rings true today.

    One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” [1]

    It sent the calculation into wild fluctuations. the change sold have been.

    Your change is

    Hands over a nickel Nine twenty five ..

    There’re quarters …and ten

    Ten dollar bill and ten makes twenty.
