Mildly Interesting

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.

Google translate says the sign says "Karamay Tower", which places it in far west China. https://maps.app.goo.gl/2XHmdmRK21LY2Krw6

But did you have those little overhead arrows telling you where the road is?

Nope, made it scarier.

Also bad is when the big flakes are coming down heavy, flying over your windshield, lit up by your headlights. It's like your flying at light speed, hard to see the road

I rode back from a Phish show in Albany, NY when there were big fat flakes coming down at night on I-90. It was my first show and also first mushroom chocolate. It was like going warp speed the entire way home, long white snowflake tracers across a black background. Very fun to watch, although the trip home took a lot longer because we could only do 45 rather than 65.

Haha I call that warp snow. It's fun game of hope you know the road as well as you think you do and that nothing or no one is in front of you.
