If you followed my blogs in the past, you would know that I have covered many topics—topics of interest to me and about which I can write with some degree of first-hand knowledge, or at least based on traditional and generally accepted sources. Also, many of my photographs have appeared here.
This particular post represents a “restart” of Renaissance Musings.
There are several “blog-worthy” events scheduled for the coming year, and I anticipate many more topics will pop up.
Where have I been the past few years—a fair question to which there is no satisfying answer. Basically, distractions include medical issues—nothing serious, but annoying and, as I said, distracting.
Upcoming Topics
There are several trips coming up to less traveled destinations that should prove interesting (to write about and to read–I hope). For example, were you aware that there is a national SPAM Museum.
My friend, John (of Michigan-Ford Museum, and New Orleans-World War II Museum trips “fame”) has been bugging me to visit the SPAM “canned ham” museum in Austin, Minnesota. Acknowledging that he has patiently put up with trips to various aircraft museums, etc., I should probably relent since this is of particular interest to him.
Besides, there is a hidden goal for me—just a little farther up the road is Copper Harbor, Michigan. It is of interest to me, because it is located at the northern end (terminus) of US Rt 41. This route runs by my place in Tennessee and continues all the way south to Miami, Florida. Apparently, this was the route notorious gangster Al Capone used when traveling between Chicago and Miami. In any case, once we complete this trip, I will have traveled US Rt 41 from end-to-end.
Also, there is a lighthouse at Copper Harbor—another for my collection of lighthouse photographs. I anticipate this trip will provide content for at least two blogs, maybe more.
The trip is planned for mid-to-late May. In preparation for this trip, I am going to fix up our 1965 Shasta camper—the “Mudflap Motel”—with a new propane gas system for the gas stove, new plumbing, better mattresses, etc. I intend to describe that project in one or more upcoming posts.
So, before we (you) get to see the museum, there will be other preparatory blogs, plus blogs on other topics.
