We couldn't open the house last night, had to wait until this morning, and that didn't last long.

I’ve had days like that in the gold country. Hot days are one thing but hot nights in this low humidity?

Riding (my former motorcycle) in 114 degrees in California was easier duty than 98 degrees in southeast Texas. I began to hallucinate and took that as a warning to aggressively hydrate in a mercifully a/c’d diner.

Scoff not. That Saharan dust explodes algae that feed the East Atlantic fishies that occupy lotsa cans in my pantry. My favorite sardines come from Portugal and Morocco.
The ones from Thailand or Vietnam suck. Even when a brilliant marketer branded them something like “untamed planet”.

Yeah I know, it also helps with the Amazon rainforest too. Sucks here for anyone with breathing problems and such. Does make for some great sunsets too.

Back roads trip on a beautiful day.
Stopped at an old train depot converted to a museum. Still part of the C&O Railway.
Population 4,000. Stoplights 5.
Current home to the 614. One of the last commercially built steam locomotives in the United States
Chesapeake & Ohio 614 is a 4-8-4 "Greenbrier" (Northern) type steam locomotive built by the Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio, in June 1948 for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) as a member of the J3a class. As one of the last commercially built steam locomotives in the United States, the locomotive was built with the primary purpose of hauling long, heavy, high speed express passenger trains for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway such as the George Washington and the Fast Flying Virginian. Retired from active service in the late 1950s, the 614 was preserved and placed on display at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Between 1979 and 1980, restoration work on the locomotive to operating condition took place, and it was used for extensive mainline excursion service from the early 1980s until the late 1990s. Today the locomotive is on temporary display at the C&O Railway Heritage Center in Clifton Forge, Virginia awaiting a potential return to steam.
