It’s Monday. The weather was iffy all weekend with numerous thunderstorms and a fair amount of rain. That certainly didn’t help the Chicago Air & Water Show, but they still managed to get it in on both days. The girlfriend and I would’ve liked to have gone but she ended up being on-call all weekend. However, the photo featured on the right came from a buddy of mine who lives in the city and took the shot from his balcony. Pretty cool, eh! 

I caught the Nascar race in Bristol, Tennessee, on Saturday night. Not a bad race. I’m starting to feel bad for Jimmy Johnson, though. No, just kidding, not sorry!

It’s Sunday! How did Route 66 become the most famous highway in America? I came across this video which answers that question and offers an interesting look at the culture surrounding the great Mother Road. Check it out if you have a few minutes.

It’s Saturday! I have another beaver sighting to report! This one comes from Mike, a reader who found this particular beaver in the good ‘ole USA. It’s called Beaver Brother’s Lakeside Cafe and he found it in Darien Lake, New York. It’s Rustic lodge-style eatery in the Darien Lake theme park, offering what they call American grub & breakfast buffet. Sounds pretty tasty to me!

Howdy Keep! Love the site. It’s the first I head when I fire up the PC every morning. Was just out at Darien Lake, NY a couple of weeks ago and had a beaver sighting to share with you. Nothing against our friends up north but I thought it’s about time we have a good old US of A beaver. Please don’t get me wrong, those Canadian beavers are mighty nice as well. ? Keep up the great work! Cheers! -Mike
