America sucks so hard that Ive actually had to start planning "two trips ahead." Ensuring I have something to look forward to is the only way to counter the post-travel depression of returning to the US. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Goddamn wikipedia nerds keep deleting my photo lol
The McBarge was a floating McDonaldโs built for Expo 86 in Vancouver. Designed as a futuristic, floating attraction, it served visitors during the fair but was abandoned afterward. It became a curiosity known for its decaying, retro appearance. Eventually it sank into the Fraser River in 2025.
Japan's transit will radicalize you in ways you didn't think possible. Ride one N700 and afterward your blood will boil anytime you have to set foot on a 737
TODAY IS THE DAY!
The cross-lake Link connection is finally open!
Only one more day until the 2 Line opens in its entirety, linking Seattle and Bellevue.
World's first train over a floating bridge!
Not sure if I ever shared these with you directly, but I've traveled all over trying to a mental grasp on the scale on nuclear weapons - honestly an impossible task. But, inspired by your maps, I've made a few image like these from my travels. I'd love to have your input!
This 747 is being reassembled between twin apartment towers in Seattle. When it's completed, I am going to have to make walking underneath it a weekly activity!
Exactly how far do things have to escalate in the region for Israel to confirm they have the bomb, either by threat or demonstrative action?
It really is wild that this, and even Trinity, were so poorly documented. Like Manhattan Project could only afford 3 cameras. I hope you follow up with Nagasaki.
This door inside Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant still gives me the creeps.
Post-snow clarity and the most beautiful city in the United States
It never ceases to amaze me how quick a vessel the size of a skyscraper can be.
It's an ugly planet. A ๐๐ช๐ planet. A planet hostile to life as we...

USS Nimitz steaming out of Puget Sound for the last time and into history as she departed for decommissioning today
USS Nimitz aircraft carrier set to depart Puget Sound for the last time ever tomorrow.
For those interested, the ship is headed out to the east coast for deactivation and eventual scrapping. Carriers usually come and go at high tide so it'll likely be around 7am.
This was a few years ago, they were shut down so I just sent the drone to have a look
US Department of Transportation GP-9 005, put out to pasture at the Pueblo test track while Pikes Peak rises in the distance
Many of you know exactly this feeling.
Filled with regret for not staying longer or returning sooner. Forever grateful for the time spent and the incredible friends made through the connection to this place. Heartache most for those who lost their livelihoods and passions here.
Me trying to decide whether to go out and make a non-binary fuss or just stay in again to reflect on my woke sky
Hospital ship USNS Mercy is currently headed to Portland, Oregon for another 6 month overhaul at Vigor Shipyards, which has an $89 million contract for work from March 20 to late September. Hope I can catch her passing through Astoria!
My heart sank when I saw the C-32 today and then learned there were already 737s and USCG Gulfstreams with the shit livery. Now all our executive aircraft are just gonna look like they have truck stop flag stickers on them. They look like how a televangelist would paint their private jets.
