Route 66 still has Kicks!. Top Story - May 2022.
Featured in the John Steinbeck classic "The Grapes of Wrath", the Dust Bowl era was a time of major migration to the west. Steinbeck dubbed Route 66 "The Mother Road" and the nickname stuck. It is a wonderful escape that takes the traveler to many times and places. For automobile buffs and history buffs, Route 66 is a must-travel, bucket list item. I bought the shirt pictured below during one of my relaxing drives across the country. The section of Route 66 between Kingman and Oatman, Arizona, known as the Arizona Sidewinder is exhilarating. Before I get farther ahead of myself along the route here, I'll backtrack to the beginning in my home state of Illinois.

The largest castles in the world, which ones can you visit?
The Old Continent is home to the majority of the world's greatest castles, yet contrary to popular belief, Europe has never had a monopoly on grand strongholds and rich mansions. Some were constructed to highlight the status of kings, while others were constructed to defend the kingdom within whose borders they were constructed. Many have survived to the present day, and some are still open to the public.

A Change In Perspectives
Nearly every summer when I was a kid, we'd load the family station wagon up with food supplies and suitcases and make the long drive to a cabin in Lords Valley in the Poconos. I remembered it being this huge rustic place, sitting on five acres of land, all mostly wooded. You came in through the enclosed entryway and into the sitting room with its knotty pine paneling. It had a massive kitchen and two bedrooms, one with three huge beds and the other with two sets of bunk beds. Oh, and the couch was a sleeper sofa, too. That was where my brother and I usually slept, once we got used to the bar that ran right under the mattress beneath our backs.

Unsolved mystery of the Mary Celeste
A ship called the Mary Celeste departed the New York harbor on November 7,1872.Along sailed was a crew of eight men including the ships captain Benjamin S Briggs, his wife, Sarah, and their 2-year-old daughter, Sophia. Nothing was found of the crew members instead of the ship found on December 4th 1872 adrift about 400 miles east of the Azores with no signs of life. There are a lot of speculations as what happened to them from flying saucers to the Bermuda triangle even as far as a sea creatures. Which I might consider the fact of, to keep the fact from fiction, the ship was carrying a large amounts of alcohol that is very probable to the demise of the ship sense later evidence can prove the theory. What happened to the crew? I would like to express my thoughts of the sea creature theory. Now less than 80%of the oceans have been explored and with that back in the 1800s people thought the world was flat. This planet has seemed it all through the dinosaurs and more so is it possible that not all sea creatures from the dinosaur age completely disappeared. For example, whales and sharks have survived for over a million of years through a changing and chaotic earth why not a creature like Tusoteuthis was a giant squid nearly equal in size to those that ply the oceans today—with their tentacles stretched out, the ancient cephalopods may have measured 25 to 35 feet (8 to 11 meters) long or just a giant squid that we see today deep in the Atlantic oceans. Which may or may not have attacked the ship at that time but the kraken is one of those creatures where may or may not have been the culprit. All I know is something happened to these people and with all mysteries they can be solved with time. The Mary Celeste was heading to Genoa, Italy on that route the ship had to have crossed across the Atlantic ocean. In the late 1800s the stories of the kraken was mostly found around Norway ,but also around the coast the North Atlantic. Giant squids or “the Kraken ”can be found in oceans around the world at depths of at least 2,950 feet, but their exact geographic range is unknown. There might be a more scientific explanation, the Gulf Stream is part of a clockwise-rotating system of currents in the North Atlantic known as the North Atlantic Gyre. The waters that feed the Gulf Stream begin flowing off the west coast of Northern Africa. Under the influence of the Trade Winds, the North Equatorial Current drifts towards the Caribbean Sea. During the travels of the Mary Celeste with three different cycles across the sea there is one major site that happens every year from that side of the ocean and that's hurricane season. Back of October 28 1872 the oceans were probably sucked in the storm and the waves were unmistakably massive. For the ship to found intact is completely possible if the ship was kept at a high speed to go through the harsh waves. A few months later a passing British ship called Dei Gratia spotted the Mary Celeste at full sail and adrift about 400 miles east of the Azores. Which is on route to Italy just the crew didn’t make it to there destination. In closing, I will leave you to do your own research as to what happened to the crew of the Mary Celeste and I will leave it up to you for your ideas and more.

Taj Mahal
Etymology Abdul Hamid Lahauri, in his book from 1636 Padshahnama, refers to the Taj Mahal as rauza-i munawwara (Perso-Arabic: روضه منواره, rawdah-i munawwarah), meaning the illumined or illustrious tomb.[6] The current name for the Taj Mahal is believed to be derived from the Persian تاج محل tāj mahall, meaning "crown" (tāj) "palace" (mahall).[7][8] The name may have been chosen in honor of Mumtaz Mahal, for whom Shah Jahan built the mausoleum, with "Mahal" being her last name and "Taj" possibly being a contemporary abbreviation of the name Mumtaz.[9]
