Tinkertown's Carnival World:
By Brian D'Ambrosio Tucked into the ponderosa pines of the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Tinkertown Museum is a hand-built labyrinth of imagination, humor, and eccentricity. More than a roadside attraction, it is a folk-art environment—part carnival, part curiosity cabinet, and part autobiography—created by one man with an inexhaustible drive to turn ordinary junk into wonder. That man was Ross J. Ward, a carnival painter, sculptor, and tinkerer whose restless creativity produced one of the most enchantingly eccentric places in America.

English Breakfast Tea
I love a good cup of English Breakfast tea. Who doesn't? Do you know what is a perfect compliment to English Breakfast tea? The perfect compliment at least in my opinion is that of a nice piece of delectable Carrot Cake. Tea is always a wonderful beverage and another celebrated English custom that is partaken with tea is tea and crumpets and tea and biscuits and i would one day love to participate in the tradition. Like i take my coffee I take my tea with nothing but that of straight and black with no sugar or cream and that's it.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite. The difference between a motel and a hotel isn’t just about price or star ratings. It’s about how America moved, how it paused, and how it learned to travel.

10 Times Tourists Completely Ruined Priceless History
There’s something magnetic about ancient architecture and historic artifacts. Whether it’s a crumbling amphitheater, a sacred temple high in the mountains, or a centuries-old painting in a quiet chapel, we’re drawn to these places. Maybe it’s the mystery. Maybe it’s the legends. Maybe it’s the simple realization that these structures have survived hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.

Diana The Musical
Diana, the musical is really princess. Diana‘s life story told in musical form. I had the honor and privilege of seeing the musical production when it came to Netflix and it was worth the wait. One time I was in New York City and I happen to find a brochure advertising the musical play And that’s how I found out that they were doing Diana the musical and that’s how I found out even existed at all. I would imagine it was on West End too, which is the London equivalent to Broadway whereas Broadway is the American equivalent to the west end and vice versa. Diana, the musical is really really good. The songs are great and this is the new age of Broadway because they they’ve actually found new ways to do the set designs and what not it’s very futuristic. It’s very cool as it should be. The singers are spot onand it all works very well.

Introduction While I was walking in Pannett Park, I noticed the lamp post above and found it was presented to Whitby from its sister city, Anchorage, in Alaska. Below is the plaque, and then I remember the statue of Captain Cook on West Cliff that has a similar inscription, but I don't have a personal picture of this. I found this:
