I love Transportation, in all its forms. It started with my summer job when I was in college, working in the Traffic Department (in charge of shipping and receiving) at the Ford Motor Company Seattle Parts Depot in south Seattle.

The State of Washington has a state-wide "mask mandate", requiring all open businesses to require all their customers …

In the summer of 2010, Hubby and I took a three-week vacation, and drove from our home in Washington State to Michigan and back, for a Hillsdale Hostel. We took the Southern Route to get there, through …
Back in 2010, Hubby and I drove to Hillsdale College in Michigan for Hillsdale Hostel. We spent a week on the road getting there, the week there, and a week getting back.
