I have so, many, thoughts about these three becoming a power trio. In my head, they'd be the trio of ever.

One of the few remaining Wendy’s in Vegas to still have a sunroom, black roof panels, brick walls and the traditional logo. The new cubes suck!

FBF News from Yesteryear
April 12, 1974 - 50 YEARS AGO
excerpt from The Journal News
 
CLARKSTOWN MAY BUILD SITE - BURGER STAND ROLLS OUT MOTORCYCLES
Riding instructor-mechanic Miles Devlin of Spring Valley at trail area
📷 Journal News Staff photo - Ted Neuhoff
One of the few places in eastern Rockland where motorcycle riders can ride on a challenging course off the road is being leveled, and a hamburger stand will soon rise on the site.
An undeveloped, hilly area on the corner of Central Avenue and Route 59 in Central Nyack has been used for years by novice riders and dirt track enthusiasts to test their noisy machines.
A McDonald's restaurant is presently being built on the property. As a result, young riders will probably have to use their trail bikes along area railroad rights of way unless a new dirt site is developed, according to spokesmen at a Central Nyack motorcycle shop, The House of Power.
“Now, a lot of these kids will go riding along the railroad tracks in the county," said Miles Devlin, a mechanic at the shop."They can't be supervised as they should."
But, the future may hold relief for neighbors, customers, and shop officials, owner Sal Mangiameli explained, in the form of a riding area at the Clarkstown town dump.
The shop owner has been negotiating with the town for the right to build up the area for supervised trail riding and training.
The "mini-bike park" would be operated as a profit to the town recreation department and there would be a nominal feefor a day's worth of riding, he explained.
Leveling the hills has forced Mangiameli, 34, of Orange County, to invest $10,000 in a dynomometer, a device which simulates road conditions and allows both the shop's personnel and customers to test the motorcycles indoors.
Other bikes licensed and registered road cycles will still be tested on the streets at the rear of the shop unwelcome news to at least one couple which has been "miserable for six years" in the face of daily noise from the large street bikes.
"Seven other families were driven out of the neighborhood because of the noise," said George Wamsley, 69, of 4 Central Ave. "The neighborhood has gone to hell and we're strapped in."
He and his wife say the value of their home has plummeted and that they would be unable to purchase another home for the amount of money they've been offered for their present one, located next door The House of Power.
The owner of the motorcycle shop said, "We try to get our business done without offending other people but some people just don't like motorcycles."

Highway 50 (No. 5)
White Pine County is a largely rural, mountain county along the central eastern boundary of the U.S. state of Nevada. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,030. Its county seat is Ely. The name "(Rocky Mountain) white pine" is an old name for the limber pine (Pinus flexilis), a common tree in the county's mountains.
The county boasts dark skies, clean air and millions of acres of unspoiled public land. It is the home of Great Basin National Park, one of America's most remote and least visited national parks. It is also home to no less than 14 federally designated wilderness areas, offering an abundance of terrain available to explore for hikers, backpackers, skiers, hunters and anglers.
The Ely Shoshone Indian Reservation is located in the county, on the south side of the City of Ely. The reservation has a land area of 104.99 acres (0.4249 km2) and a 2000 census official resident population of 133 people.

Let's take a trip back to the distant past, the olden days of 2004. George W. Bush was president, The Lord of the Rings had recently won best picture and in D.C. a descendant of Theodore Roosevelt was born.
At just 18 years old, Quentin Colón Roosevelt is the youngest ANC Commissioner in all of D.C.
After being sworn in this week, Roosevelt now represents the Spring Valley neighborhood of Ward 3.
Roosevelt ran unopposed in his election. Now, he balances his responsibilities while also currently in his senior year of high school.
“I’m definitely still having fun. I go to parties. I have friends. I do stuff like that. But I also have a real commitment to where I live," Roosevelt said. "I love DC. I’ve lived here my entire life. And I thought if I want to get involved and make a difference, this is the easiest way to do it.”
Quentin says Theodore Roosevelt is his great, great, great grandfather. He hopes to get into Georgetown University so he can continue serving in D.C.

Mod Mittens: I had a blast visiting the Mystery Caves of Minnesota over the weekend! Took lots of driving to get there, but it was so worth it :D
The background here was a photo I took during the scenic tour! The sign above is actually in the gift shop/museum area but I wanted to include it because it looked so cool.
Go check out the Mystery Caves for yourself, and book a tour if you’re in the area! 10/10 highly recommend if you like cool caves. This particular cave is also wheelchair and stroller accessible on the scenic tour! :D

I had a dream...
Tumblr media
...Last night about the Minister of Spring and Pixie Hollow 🧚🏻✨🪻🌱🌼🌷🌿
I was a part of a research group full of people who were doing something in vast terrain. Maybe we went to the nature only for a walk, who knows. What's important was the fact that we went to a forest. And after a while we reached crossroads in that forest. One road was quite normal, leading to a regular human world, but in the second part of the forest, fairies were flying, laughter was heard, gentle bells were echoing underneath the trees...
"Look!" I shouted at the group. "There are fairies!" But they ignored me, they didn't even turned their heads, they just followed blindfoldedly the normal path.
I left them be. And went straight to the pixie world. The more to the depth I walked, the more I understood - I was at the Spring Valley! The same place where Tinkerbell messed up the preparations for spring!
The first fairy I met and whom I saw in bright colours was Rosetta. She was collecting some berries and when she noticed me, she immediately smiled at me. Then I blurry saw Iridessa. I got a positive response from all of them, they immediately got some work for me and told me that I should found some elder fairy who fed plants with biscuits. Literally.
But I had other plans. I quickly got to the elder fairy (she looked like Fairy Mary but with ginger hair, little curvier and taller, dressed in vanilla-beige colour), she wasn't very nice, she was vulgar towards me, actually. 😂
But I didn't care. My aim was to find the Minister of Spring. I flew (yes, I somehow gained wings) to the Springtime Square in order to find him but there were soooo many fairies I could barely see.
I was lucky. He was there. I found him. He didn't wear his pompous ministerial robe but he was dressed up very modestly. Simple T-shirt made of dry brownish leafs, leather belt and simple beige bermudas. He had a sack - it almost looked like if he were collecting rubbish - but I somehow knew that there are some seeds in it which had to be delivered somewhere.
He took off. I didn't have the chance to say anything to him, but I had wings so I jumped in the air and followed him. He was as fast as Bugatti Chiron. 🤣 We were zigzagging around the trees. It was a race!
Finally - I left him behind and was ahead of him. I turned over and he smiled at me! It was a tiny and mild smile but of such a kindness. I noticed closely how skinny he actually was. His cheekbones were visible on his pale face.
I stopped him. And for some reason we went to the closest tree on the road and hid into its shadows. And then we hugged each other.
We were just standing there - the same heights - in a close hug, absorbing each others physical bodies. It was such a realistic situation, such a vivid dream, it felt as if I were really there. I didn't remember how long this scene actually took, but to me it felt like eternity. He fitted perfectly into my arms. We didn't share a word. Silence embroidering the feeling. I remember how I was leaning on the tree with my back, holding him in my arms. My head rested on his left shoulder (from his perspective) and I could literally smell his scent in the dream! He smelled sweetly, like flowers, but not necessarily like hyacinths, it was a sweeter scent, more like a rose or a cherry blossom. I felt his skin, he had very soft skin on his shoulders and neck. And I also felt his hair. They were sooo realistic, breeze was playing with some of his loosened strands. I didn't really touch his hair so I cannot say how it felt like.
Some fairies interrupted us. And then the scene was cut. And after a while I was flying and found myself on the Springtime Square. Again, there were so many fairies. Too many fairies. And not only fairies but also Barbie princesses! I saw Alexa from the Diamond Castle and Aramina from Three Musketeers, then some Genevieve's sisters from the 12 Dancing Princesses... And of course, Tink's pixie squad and the other seasonal ministers and Queen Clarion. Everyone was dressed up so formally, they wore beautiful gowns as if there were some special event going on. Where is Hyacinth, where is Hyacinth, was my only thought. I was flying towards them and I spotted Hyacinth in the first row, standing next to Queen Clarion.
I broke through the crowd whilst everyone was whispering about me and casting not so friendly gazes at me. What bad could I do that they behaved like this? I understood they were gossiping about me. But why?
I finally approached Hyacinth. He wore his lavish ministerial robe, sleeveless, in deep royal blue, dark purple and bright spring green colours shining on his leaf crown. And all of his gown was sparkling.
For some reason, I asked him for a dance and offered him my hand. He wasn't smiling. Actually, his mimics seemed emotionless, but he gave me his hand and our palms alligned.
I led him to the ballroom when Johann Strauss started playing. I couldn't remember which of his wondrous kaiserwaltzes it was, but I just knew it was his music! It felt like something between An der schönen blauen Donau and Frühlingsstimmen.
The most important thing was that I was swaying in the rhythm of Viennese waltz with Hyacinth. We danced perfectly to the rhythm and everyone was watching us. We were the only couple dancing so it was a solo. The other guests were blurred, the only thing I remembered was how I led Hyacinth on the dance floor and how I felt the soft skin of his shoulders again...
Then I woke up. 😂 But so happy. I felt like I really met him. I dare to say that it was one of the best dreams I have ever had. ✨🩷🩵🪻
