Word of the Day

Blubber (n./v., BLUHB-urr)

The layer of fat right under a whale's skin, a bunch of excess fat, or to cry overwhelmingly, like a college senior during "One Shining Moment."

America's quietest (and most scenic) routes

A fun little site from Geotab, this one tracks the quietest highways in each state of the country. Landscape photographer James O Martin also chooses the ones he thinks are the most scenic. If you're in the northeast, you're in luck; a number of states make the top 10. The photos are excellent, and you can open street views of many roads.

Once you've checked it out for yourself, let us know if you're coming with us.
