On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.
So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…
Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!
Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice
Have a great weekend everyone, there will be some changes to this feature next week!
Sorry for no pics, staying at moms and weird internet issues abound. Netflix and iPad work ok, so it’s not all bad. Lots more pictures and now form coming early next week.
Open thread, early morning crew.

Well, to keep things going, here’s a pic from the Anime Convention in downtown LA.

Thursday night thread was so weird that I don’t think I want to come back to this site. Pelosi v Clinton fight ? Weird.

@Sab: Delta is ready when you are.
Sab
@raven: Huh?
raven
@Sab: It’s a snarky way of saying you are free to leave. There are plenty of silly ass arguments here.
Sab
@raven: I’m gone
raven
@Sab:b- bye

@raven: Anime people are just a little bit weird. I like that about them.
raven
@OzarkHillbilly: It was wild. We actually were down there to go to the Grammy museum but my brother’s daughter was inside!

@raven: he’ll be back.
It makes me sad that I don’t recognize any of the characters in the anime picture, although I guess most of the anime I watch has characters in plainclothes.
a thousand flouncing lurkers (was fidelio)
@Sab: Was it the argument itself, or the prevalence of pie?

Nice picture. I don’t recognize anyone, but they have all put a lot of effort into being dressed for their occasion.
Good looking bunch of nerds…
ETA: If last night’s thread was too odd / argumentative or even too Pelosie / Clinton fictitious for some one, they are not cut out for this space. If I see Bufulos or however that is spelled, I will pie him… I like pie a lot. If it was a little cooler pecan pie would be on the agenda.

I ordered some just released books last week. Yesterday I watched them come from Missouri via Lexington Ky, to South Charleston WV where the nearest UPS distribution center is. On to Roanoke VA WAIT A MINUTE YOU GUYS!!!
Then back to Huntington WV, which is where things go when they aren’t going to be delivered to us soon – ’cause they have been lost…
The county seat gets deliveries from Huntington, and mail comes via the P O in the county seat, but UPS only comes as far as the county seat and goes back to Huntington. We live way east of the county seat, very close to S Charleston and Charleston.
Maybe it will get to the local P O by tomorrow? That will be good.
