This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

this summer has been unlike others. you might have done the exact same thing in half the country.
when i was a kid (seems like eons ago) we vacationed there a lot, in north and south dakota (and a little mt and wy). mom and me loved the badlands. the terrain and features, wildlife, the night sky... i don't remember it ever being "too hot" to be outside. we camped, in a tent or popup; so outside is where we were basically all the time.
this summer is gonna be like all the others from now on, however.
i wish.
they're gonna get worse.
