The four corners of Utah, Colorado, Nex Mexico, and Arizona

by Jack Brummet, Travel Ed. 

I love to stop at every corny tourist attraction (baby kangaroo petting zoo, Paul Bunyan and Babe on Hwy 101, rock shops, the Montana testicle festival, roadside monuments and overlooks, chainsaw carving joints, Area 51, and many more). 

Today I was tragically thwarted in a lifelong quest—to go to Four Corners & take a picture straddling four great states. I'll settle for this.

One of these contestants became Miss America in 1922. I love the women, but am particularly digging the millinery.

The modern world reimagined as Pangea, the one continent

by Jack Brummet

Reddit user LikeWolvesDo, recently took a map of the ancient supercontinent Pangea, surrounded by the one ocean, Panthalassa and drew current political borders on it.

According to Live Science, "Even our current map, with separate continents, is changing."

“Right now, for instance, Australia is inching toward Asia, and the eastern portion of Africa is slowly peeling off from the rest of the continent.”
