I associate road trips with my childhood. I'm sure in my memory they are exaggerated, mere hours turned into long days in the car by the recollection of my impatient youth. We'd drive for extended trips to see family over summer or to explore on vacation. I was, and still am short. I'd grab a pillow and blanket and lie all the way flat stretched out across the backseat, sleeping easily while my dad drove through the night as he preferred. Otherwise, I'd be reading, able to somehow ignore the motion of the car and tune out the world in favor of an imaginary world in a book.
Peanuts, History, and Legacy
Updated: Jun 11, 2022
Lolol finally getting around to reading through my backlog of stuff. I think it's great that there's such a large park dedicated to George Washington Carver, and it makes sense too to have so much nature in a memorial and monument to him. Didn't know he was an artist in addition to scientist! But also my eyes bugged a bit at seeing he was good friends with Henry Ford (woof). The idea of his complicated legacy that's not widely known makes me think on Frederick Douglass's complicated but also flattened legacy. History can be kind to some and ruinous to others, but history ultimately is the stories told and we never are getting the entire story.
Also lol boiled peanuts…
