Ahh, NOW I see why those Old Fashioneds were appearing on our table like multiplying rabbits. Those canny mixmasters at the MGM Springfield’s Commonwealth bar were thinking if I had a snootful, I’d likely order their $25,000 “Indian Sidecar” drink, which is made with a 1901 Croizet cognac.

Road Trip Part 4: The Salton Sea and Grand Canyon
In my early days of back-to-back cross-country road trips, my knowledge of photography was lacking, and my equipment was limited to a subpar cell phone camera.

Fortunately, there is relief that comes from finding great places to stop, stretch your legs, take some pictures, get … [Read more...]
