Tai Rawhiti locals isolated again by January's slips on the Waioeka Gorge and East Coast highway want the government to find a more reliable route out of Gisborne. Mary Argue reports.
Long before it was fully paved, the road that became Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif., was designated as one of the nation's original numbered highways 100 years ago. Crossing vast stretches of Native American land in places like Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona, it eventually delivered a steady stream of mobile customers to enterprising Native merchants selling everything from trinkets to fine jewelry and textiles to frybread. The signature eye-popping billboards and kitschy neon signs that defined the route are mostly gone, but a few hold-out examples of 50s road-trip culture remain. And a number of new businesses are expecting to cash in with renewed interest in an old highway.

Protecting tribal sovereignty is a top discussion at the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) 2026 Executive Council Winter Session, which is taking place this week in Washington, DC. NCAI President Mark Macarro (Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians) highlighted the importance of tribal sovereignty in his State of Indian Nations address. Macarro says before there was a U.S., there were sovereign tribal nations. “Our sovereignty was not created by treaties, nor granted by Congress. It is inherent and existed before colonization. Treaties did not give us sovereignty. They recognized it. The Constitution did not define us it acknowledged us. Federal laws did not create our rights, it memorialized them. And yet for centuries, our sovereignty has been attacked and attempts continue to constrain and diminish it. Yet our nations continue to govern, continue to lead, to teach, to resist, and to rise.” Macarro says recent attacks include calls by Gov. Kevin Stitt (Cherokee/R-OK) to limit tribal sovereignty, which Macarro says is appalling. Tribal leaders in Oklahoma agree with Macarro’s sentiment. Reggie Wassana is governor of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma. “This day and age, we shouldn’t have to ask why tribes have a sovereignty. We shouldn’t have to ask what the tribe’s capabilities are, how they can function, how they can prosper, and who are tribes.” Wassana and Macarro say tribal leaders are often educating elected officials about American Indian history, tribal sovereignty and the U.S. government's trust and treaty responsibilities. Before every census, the federal government picks several test sites, focusing on hard-to-reach areas, but the bureau has cancelled that testing at four of the six regions, including two that cover Arizona tribal lands. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, this is not the first time the Census has changed course with Indian Country. In fact, this also happened in 2016 when two reservations in Washington and South Dakota were nixed, citing budget uncertainty and funding shortages. Census consultant Saundra Mitrovich (Berry Creek Rancheria of Maidu Indians of California), co-leads the Natives Count Coalition. “In the last two decennials, not only have we had the undercount, but we've had this cancellation of test sites for tribal areas twice.” Mitrovich says one concern is that the Trump administration is considering to use postal service staff to replace temporary census workers to conduct the count and cut down on costs. “A lot of the households are left invisible to the census, and they also have non-traditional addresses.” In 2020, the nonprofit Native American Rights Fund reported that more than 80% of all registered Indigenous voters in Arizona – outside of metro Phoenix and Tucson – rely solely on P.O. boxes. This time around, San Carlos and White Mountain Apache homes in Arizona as well as Cherokee households in North Carolina are being left out. The Census Bureau would not say why. “How are we gonna say that we're going to carry out this fair and full representation that the survey is supposed to provide of the country?” And on this day in 1978, the “Longest Walk” by Native activists began. A start-up ceremony took place on Alcatraz Island, where the group then proceeded to travel by foot from Sacramento to Washington D.C. to build awareness of treaty rights and injustice.

HANK VOGLER ON LAND, LABOR, AND THE FIGHT FOR THE WEST On this powerful episode of Rural Route, Trent Loos is joined by Nevada rancher and straight-talking advocate Hank Vogler for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of ranching, land, and food in America. They start by breaking down the global labor crisis, how wage gaps have changed work ethic, and what history—from early American colonies to Spanish Florida—can teach us about today's problems. The talk also dives into the deep roots of American livestock, including Florida cracker horses and Mustangs, and how horses once shaped warfare and the West. The conversation turns to Nevada's federal land battles, where grazing has been pushed aside in the name of preservation, leading to more wildfires and less local control. Trent and Hank explain how politics, especially the influence of Las Vegas, makes it hard for rural counties to get real change. They also raise serious concerns about AI data centers, rare earth mining, water use, and massive energy projects that threaten to push ranchers off the land and reshape wide-open spaces without proper review. Finally, they tackle beef prices and food policy. While beef costs more at the store, Trent and Hank point out it has not risen as fast as many other goods. They question beef imports, outdated dietary rules, and the long-term damage of anti-beef messaging in schools—while also highlighting a positive shift with whole milk returning to lunch menus. This is a bold, no-nonsense episode about land, freedom, food, and the fight to protect rural America.
The attempt at tarnishing the reputation and consumption of beef continues to skyrocket. There is no lie, no rumor they will not attempt in turning folks away from the consumption of the most nutrient dense food product on the planet, BEEF.
When host Janet Michael talks with Rosemary Wallinger and Laura Fogle for this episode of The Valley Today, she expected a straightforward conversation about local history. What unfolded instead was a remarkable story of discovery, perseverance, and the fight to preserve a crucial piece of American—and African American—heritage that has been hiding in plain sight for nearly 90 years. A Tale of Two Camps Rosemary, president of the CCC Legacy organization, and Laura, the vice president, share how Shenandoah County is home to two historically significant Civilian Conservation Corps camps. While Camp Roosevelt is well-known as the nation's first CCC camp, Wolf Gap - located just 22 miles away - has remained virtually unknown. "Nobody here that we've talked to, other than maybe three people, had ever heard of it," Rosemary reveals. "So we are giving concentrated effort to get it into public awareness." Both camps were among the first ten CCC camps established in the nation. But there's a crucial difference: Wolf Gap became one of the very first African American CCC camps in the country, opening just one month after Camp Roosevelt in 1933. Roosevelt's New Deal in Action As the women explain, the CCC was born from desperation. When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, 15 million Americans were unemployed. People were starving. The CCC became one of his fastest-activated New Deal programs, up and running within weeks of his inauguration. The scale was staggering: over 3 million men employed across 4,500 camps nationwide, including 250,000 African Americans and 80,000 Native Americans. Young men—officially aged 17 to 25, though many lied about their age to enroll as young as 15—earned $30 a month. Twenty-five dollars went directly home to their families; they kept just $5 for themselves. "It was another great stimulus program for the whole country," Laura explains. "The guys that were working got to keep $5 a month and their families got the other 25 back home to spend on groceries and needs. The communities around the CCC camps profited because they supplied the food. The farmers had work, the mercantiles had work, the lumber yards had work." The average enrollee gained 35 pounds during their service—a stark testament to the poverty they'd escaped. They learned carpentry, metalworking, and conservation skills. Those who couldn't read or write were taught in camp classes. The Accomplishments History Forgot During the conversation, Rosemary rattles off Wolf Gap's impressive achievements: 16,000 acres of trees planted, 45 miles of road built, 60 miles of horse trails, 100 miles of telephone line, 50 miles of roadside naturalization, and three miles of stream improvement. The camp protected 100,000 acres of local forest, fought a three-day fire at Cedar Creek in 1935, and rescued more than 1,200 residents from floodwaters in March 1936. "Their accomplishments were just astonishing," Rosemary says. "It's shocking that it's unknown to have a list of accomplishments that long, and yet nobody even knows they were here," says Janet. The infrastructure these young men built—in national parks, state parks, and forests across America—still stands today, a testament to the quality of their work. A Serendipitous Discovery Rosemary's discovery of Wolf Gap came while researching her family's involvement in the 1880 race riot at Columbia Furnace. On the Edinburg Memories website, she found a post from Helen Larkin Burton describing how, as a young girl in her father's store, she watched "the boys from the Wolf Gap CCC" come to shop. It was, Burton wrote, the first time she'd ever seen a Black person. "I thought, what CCC are we talking about at Wolf Gap?" Rosemary recalls. She contacted a local historian who confirmed it: "Best kept secret in Shenandoah County." That discovery sparked a grassroots movement. Rosemary assembled a team of dedicated women to pursue state byway designation for Route 675, the road connecting both camps. They succeeded in getting the byway designation and are now working to have it officially named the Shenandoah County CCC Memorial Byway. The Segregation Story The conversation delves into the painful reality of segregation within the CCC. Though African American legislator Oscar De Priest had declared there would be "no discrimination according to race, creed, or color," Robert Fechner, a southerner who helped administer the program, declared that "separate was not unequal." Wolf Gap started as a white camp in its first year but became an African American camp in 1934 when administrators realized they hadn't factored in "how deeply segregated the south still was in the thirties," as Laura explains. African American camps were intentionally placed in remote areas, presumably to avoid racist confrontation. The irony, Rosemary notes, was that when African American enrollees worked battlefields to the point where tourists wanted to visit, they were often transferred to another remote location. Local populations frequently protested the placement of these camps. Finding the Descendants One of the team's greatest accomplishments, shared emotionally during the conversation, was connecting with Roy Allen Cooper, whose father, Oswald Bentley Cooper, was an enrollee at Wolf Gap. While serving, Oswald met Evelyn McAfee from Woodstock. They married and raised nine children—eight boys and one girl named Georgia—on Water Street and Spring Street in Woodstock. Roy's brother Bobby became a well-known local restaurateur, first as the opening cook at the Spring House restaurant in 1973, then running his own establishment. Roy now serves on the CCC Legacy board, providing a vital personal connection to Wolf Gap's history. The Research Challenge "The white CCC was well recorded, records up your wazoo," Rosemary says candidly during the conversation. "But the history of the Black camps is just sparse and what's there is difficult to find." The team has uncovered treasures, including a regional annual with the only known photographs of Wolf Gap enrollees—two large portraits showing the men's names and hometowns. Many came from a community in Southwest Virginia called Agricola, offering potential leads for finding more descendants. Rosemary's research has also uncovered broader stories, including the Preston Lake Rebellion in upstate New York, where African American enrollees trained as leaders were told to step down when white enrollees joined the camp. The men rebelled for three days before being sent back to Harlem—a story that even New York State's historical resources department didn't know about. The Interpretive Center and What's Next The women discuss the James R. Wilkins Sr. Interpretive Center at the US Forest Service Office in Edinburg—a partially completed museum dedicated to CCC history. Wilkins supervised projects at both camps. His son, Jimmy, has been a primary funder along with his sister Donna. The center is open to the public but unfinished. The organization is working to finalize a new agreement with the US Forest Service. As Laura emphasizes in the conversation, 2033 will mark the hundredth anniversary of the CCC's birth, and Camp Roosevelt was the first CCC camp in the nation. "Virginia was truly the epicenter of the CCC," she says. "The state of Virginia needs to embrace that history." Why This Matters When board member Colette Sylvestri presented to 300 students at George Mason University, the most frequent question was: "Why weren't we taught this?" "So much of the history of the CCC in general has just fallen by the wayside," Laura laments. Many people in their forties have never even heard of the Civilian Conservation Corps, let alone understand its contribution to the nation. The CCC didn't just build infrastructure—it restored America. As Laura puts it: "These men who built this country, really the CCC restored the United States of America to what it became after World War II." How to Get Involved The CCC Legacy welcomes new members at $35 annually. Members receive quarterly publications including bulletins and a journal with stories from CCC camps across the country. The organization also offers presentations to civic groups and is actively seeking volunteers, particularly web developers to help update their website at ccclegacy.org. For those with family connections to the CCC, the National Archives has digitized enrollee names, making it possible to search for relatives online. As the conversation wraps up, Rosemary makes a simple request: "Spread the word that this is a thing. We want people to know that this is our history." Both Camp Roosevelt and Wolf Gap are accessible to visitors today. Camp Roosevelt operates as a Forest Service campground with interpretive signage throughout. Wolf Gap, currently undergoing Forest Service renovations, will soon have its own signage installed. Standing at these remote, quiet sites at dusk, Rosemary shares, "I can hear the voices" - a poignant reminder that history isn't just about dates and statistics. It's about the young men who slept in West Virginia, walked to Virginia for breakfast, and built the America we know today.

Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 4 is here! The California Desert - San Bernardino To Needles Super Bowl and Weather Insights Randy and Bubba discussed the weather in different regions, with Randy noting mild temperatures during his trip despite concerns about winter weather. They shared thoughts on the recent Super Bowl, with Bubba and Randy agreeing that the game was defensively focused and not particularly exciting, while Randy expressed pride as a Rams fan despite the team's loss. They also commented on Super Bowl commercials, with Bubba praising an ad by Anthropic that humorously depicted potential future AI ads, while both agreed that many commercials seemed less impactful than in years past due to high expectations and expensive production costs. Political Sensitivities in Classic Comedies Bubba and Randy discussed the challenges of making classic comedies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Tropic Thunder" today due to political sensitivities. They reflected on how everything seems to have become political, including events like the Super Bowl halftime show, which they miss from the "good old days." Randy shared his perspective on nostalgia, attributing it to aging and a tendency to look back fondly on childhood. They also discussed Randy's extensive documentation of his Route 66 journey, with over 10,000 pictures taken, though only about 40 are shared per post. Route 66's California Transformation The discussion focused on Route 66 in California, whereRandyshared insights about the route's history and current state. He explained that California decommissioned Route 66 in 1965, converting it to County 66, and noted the varying conditions of the road through different regions. Randy highlighted Rancho Cucamonga's efforts to preserve and commemorate Route 66, contrasting it with areas like Fontana and San Bernardino, which have seen decline and transformation into areas with pawn shops, dispensaries, and vacant lots. He also mentioned visiting a Route 66-themed store called Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana. Route 66 Business Threatened Ruby interviewed Grumpy, the owner of Man Cave Collectibles in Fontana, a Route 66 landmark built in 1940. Grumpy expressed concern about the city's plan to widen the street and create a truck lane, which could threaten his business's survival. Ruby shared Grumpy's story and discussed the broader impact of progress on historical Route 66 businesses, noting the decline of smaller towns along the route. Bubba suggested adding a link to Man Cave Collectibles when posting the podcast. Route 66: California's Historical Challenges The discussion focused on Route 66, particularly in California, where they discussed the challenges faced by San Bernardino County due to its large size and limited tax base. They explored the historical significance of Route 66, including the first McDonald's location in San Bernardino, which has been turned into a museum. The conversation also covered the route's alignment with the Cajon Pass and its transition to Interstate 15, with a focus on driving the original road using frontage roads to avoid modern highways. Route 66: Desert Scenery and Ghost Towns The discussion focused on a road trip along Route 66, from Victorville to Barstow. The speaker described the desolate but scenic route, passing through several small towns including ghost towns and a unique attraction called Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch. They noted that while the area was once bustling during Route 66's heyday in the 1950s, it is now largely deserted, with only a few businesses remaining open. The speaker emphasized the peaceful driving conditions, with minimal traffic and the ability to stop freely along the road. Route 66's Decline and Revival Randy and Bubba discussed the historical Route 66, focusing on the section between Barstow and Needles, California. They talked about the decline of towns along this route due to the shift from steam to diesel trains and the construction of Interstate 40. Randy shared stories about ghost towns and abandoned gas stations, mentioning the Baghdad Cafe and its connection to a German movie. They also discussed the challenges of revitalizing old gas stations and the presence of a well-maintained house in the midst of a ghost town. Route 66 Ghost Encounter Bubba and Randy discussed a mysterious encounter on Route 66 where Randy saw a woman dressed in period clothing pushing a stroller in the middle of the desert. They debated whether the woman was a ghost, noting that she moved out of the road when she heard Randy's van. Randy planned to ask Beth about any known ghost sightings on Route 66, and they also discussed how to identify the correct route by looking for train tracks and power poles. Amboy Motel's Revival and History Randy and Bubba discussed the desolation of Ludlow, a town near Interstate 40, despite its proximity to the highway. They noted the lack of major chain businesses and the decline of Roy's Motel in Amboy, which was revitalized after changing ownership. Randy shared details about the motel's neon sign and its appearance in a Rose Parade segment. They also mentioned an unexpected encounter with a plane landing on a road near the motel, which turned out to be at a historic airstrip in Amboy. Route 66's Forgotten Towns The discussion focused on the history and significance of Amboy, a town in the Mojave Desert that gained fame as a stop on Route 66 before being bypassed in 1931 when the highway was realigned. The conversation revealed that Goff's, a town that was briefly on the original Route 66 from 1926 to 1931, became a ghost town after being bypassed and is now inaccessible due to road conditions. The speakers noted that while Amboy has maintained its celebrity status as a filming location for music videos and movies, the original Route 66 alignment through Goff's is now a forgotten road that cannot be driven. Route 66 Mojave Desert Adventures Bubba and Randy discussed their Route 66 road trip experiences, focusing on the Mojave Desert and Needles, California. Randy shared details about a non-profit ghost town in the Mojave Desert and highlighted the abandoned sections of Route 66 in Needles, suggesting potential business opportunities for ATV rentals. They also discussed the historical significance of the area and recommended a three-day itinerary for travelers, emphasizing the importance of planning stops in places like Kingman, Arizona. Route 66 Exploration Plans Randy and Bubba discussed their upcoming exploration of Route 66, focusing on the longest contiguous stretch in California, which spans 348 miles and takes about 7 hours to drive. Randy shared his experiences visiting historical sites along the route, including Calico Ghost Town and a desert art museum near Amboy, emphasizing the importance of taking time to appreciate the history and stories behind the abandoned places. They also talked about the growing popularity of their Facebook page, which now has 21,000 followers, and Bubba mentioned their plans to start exploring Arizona next week, which covers a vast 400 miles.

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 The Jo(h)n Squad is back to give their CARS Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! John Humphrey and Jon Maturan rev up their reaction and review of Pixar's 2006 animated classic Cars, a high-energy, heartwarming story about speed, humility, and finding purpose off the beaten path. The film follows hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, Midnight in Paris), whose obsession with winning lands him stranded in the forgotten desert town of Radiator Springs on the way to the Piston Cup Championship. What begins as an inconvenience slowly becomes a life-changing detour as Lightning learns the value of friendship, community, and slowing down to appreciate the journey. Along the way, Lightning forms an unlikely bond with wise tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy, Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector, Cars 2), sparks a romance with determined attorney Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt, Jumanji, Toy Story 4), and gains mentorship from legendary racer Doc Hudson (Paul Newman, Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler). Packed with iconic moments like Lightning's crash on Route 66, Mater's hilarious tractor-tipping escapades, Doc's reveal as the Hudson Hornet, and the emotional Piston Cup finale, Cars blends laugh-out-loud humor with Pixar's signature emotional storytelling. We break down the film's themes of legacy, ego, and redemption, why Radiator Springs remains one of Pixar's most memorable worlds, and how Cars became a beloved franchise for generations of fans.

In den letzten beiden Folgen von Inside Austria haben wir den Fall eines Paars rekonstruiert, das am Großglockner in Bergnot geraten ist. Die 33-jährige Kerstin G. kam dabei am höchsten Berg Österreichs ums Leben. Laut Staatsanwaltschaft erfror sie rund 50 Meter unter dem Gipfel. Der Fall hat in Österreich und Deutschland große Aufmerksamkeit erregt – besonders unter Alpinistinnen und Bergfans. In der aktuellen Folge sprechen wir mit dem erfahrenen Hobby-Bergsteiger und Content Creator Adrian Fusco. Er hat die Route, auf der sich der tödliche Vorfall ereignet hat, selbst vor wenigen Monaten begangen. Wir wollen wissen: Worin liegen die Herausforderungen der Tour? Wann lässt man jemanden am Berg zurück? Und wer trägt in einer Notsituation eigentlich die Verantwortung? Im Podcast »Inside Austria« rekonstruieren der SPIEGEL und der österreichische STANDARD gemeinsam Fälle, Skandale und politische Abgründe in Österreich.

In den letzten beiden Folgen des Inside Austria-Podcasts haben wir den Fall eines Paars rekonstruiert, das am Großglockner in Bergnot geraten ist. Die 33-jährige Kerstin G. kam dabei am höchsten Berg Österreichs ums Leben. Laut Staatsanwaltschaft erfror sie rund 50 Meter unter dem Gipfel. Ihr Partner, Thomas P., kehrte später allein ins Tal zurück – nach eigener Aussage, um Hilfe zu holen. Er muss sich am 19. Februar am Landesgericht Innsbruck wegen grob fahrlässiger Tötung verantworten. Der Fall hat in Österreich und Deutschland große Aufmerksamkeit erregt – besonders unter Alpinistinnen und Bergfans. In der aktuellen Folge sprechen wir mit dem erfahrenen Hobby-Bergsteiger und Content Creator Adrian Fusco. Er hat die Route, auf der sich der tödliche Vorfall ereignet hat, selbst vor wenigen Monaten begangen. Wir wollen wissen, worin die Herausforderungen der Tour liegen, wann man am Berg jemanden zurücklässt – und wer in so einer Situation eigentlich die Verantwortung trägt.
Tout plaquer à 50 ans et se lancer dans le Vendée Globe : voilà, en peu de mots, le parcours de Manu Cousin, loin, très loin des trajectoires classiques de la course au large professionnelle.Né à Rouen en 1967, il découvre la mer très jeune par le biais familial et construit, au fil des années, une relation intense avec la voile. Longtemps, elle demeure une passion parallèle à une carrière professionnelle "normale" menée en entreprise, un équilibre assumé qui façonne sa manière d'aborder la performance et l'engagement sportif.Tout bascule après un congé sabbatique passé en famille sur l'eau en 2003, puis une Transquadra courue en 2010. Il s'oriente alors vers la Class40 et y forge une approche méthodique du projet sportif : compréhension fine du bateau, gestion des moyens limités, attention portée à la fiabilité et à la technique. Mais ce n'est qu'à l'issue de la Transat Jacques Vabre 2017, qu'il pense, aidé par son partenaire, au Vendée Globe, jusqu'ici très éloigné de ses ambitions.Avec sa femme Sandrine, ils démissionnent alors de leurs CDI respectifs de cadres commerciaux, vendent leur maison de Normandie et déménagent aux Sables d'Olonne pour une nouvelle vie, à 50 ans.Courses après courses, il apprend l'Imoca sur le bateau qu'il a racheté à Arnaud Boissières, et un nouveau métier, celui d'entrepreneur, traversant le Covid et se qualifiant pour le Vendée Globe 2020. La casse de son vérin de quille vient profondément marquer son épreuve, qu'il parvient néanmoins à terminer et se classer 23e. L'expérience renforce sa conviction que boucler un tour du monde en solitaire constitue déjà, en soi, une forme d'accomplissement. Mais il sait déjà qu'il veut repartir.La préparation de son second Vendée Globe est fauchée en plein vol par le départ de son partenaire, juste après la Route du Rhum 2022. Mais il parvient en quelques mois à reconstituer un collectif de sponsors et s'aligne en 2024 pour un nouveau Vendée Globe. Juste avant d'entrer dans le Grand Sud, il heurte violemment un objet ou un animal non identifié (Oani) et n'arrivera jamais à retrouver la sérénité nécessaire pour tirer sur sa machine. Pour autant, il parvient à terminer, à nouveau, mais à une 31e place décevante pour lui.Et là encore, tandis qu'il remonte le chenal des Sables d'Olonne, il sait déjà qu'il veut repartir pour le Vendée Globe 2028, achète un nouveau bateau à foils et sécurise le financement de la prochaine édition.Histoire de continuer à vivre un rêve éveillé, celui de vivre sa passion au quotidien.Diffusé le 6 février 2026Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

From now through 2027, various lanes over the Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle will close, making an already-challenging traffic situation worse. WSDOT has encouraged travelers to Seattle, especially commuters, to consider using the bus instead of clogging the freeway with more cars. But that might be a hard sell. Perennial concerns about safety, reliability, and access have plagued King County Metro, and other transit options. And elsewhere in the city, Mayor Katie Wilson has called for a dedicated lane for the crosstown Route 8 bus.

Route optimization looks perfect on paper, but real drivers live in a very different world.In this episode of Your AI Injection, host Deep Dhillon sits down with Richard Savoie, founder and CEO of Adiona, to unpack the hidden human and economic costs behind fast shipping. Richard shares what he saw firsthand on ride-alongs with drivers, including brutally long days, routes so complex no one else can cover them, and an industry still reliant on tribal knowledge that disappears as experienced workers retire. They explore how traditional route optimization often fails in the real world, producing mathematically “perfect” plans that drivers reject. Richard explains how Adiona's AI blends advanced optimization with real-world experience to create routes drivers actually follow, improving performance while reducing burnout and delivering solutions that work on the ground.Deep and Richard also dive into the counterintuitive economics of sustainability. Most companies don't have spare margin for “green,” so emissions reduction has to pay for itself. They break down how right-sizing fleets and cutting unnecessary miles can slash costs and carbon at the same time, often delivering bigger sustainability gains than buying electric vehicles alone. The conversation also examines why last-mile delivery is so expensive and raises an uncomfortable question about whether more efficient logistics are improving lives and sustainability or quietly accelerating the overconsumption behind modern e-commerce.Learn more about Richard here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richsavoie/and Adiona here: https://www.adionatech.com/ Check out our related episodes:Is Your Truck Driver Awake?

TWR Route 66 Ep 3 of the Travels With Randy podcast is here! And We Begin At The End! Santa Monica Pier, Pasadena, and Barstow Charlotte Snowstorm Impact Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the recent snowstorm in Charlotte, which resulted in 8 inches of snow and caused widespread disruptions. Bubba shared his experience of being stuck at home and the challenges faced by the city due to the lack of snow plows. They briefly touched on the weather conditions in other parts of the country, including Florida's iguana problem during cold weather. The conversation then shifted to the third episode of their Route 66 coverage. Route 66: History and Beginnings Bubba and Randy discussed the start of their Route 66 coverage, with Randy confirming he had begun the route from Santa Monica, its designated end point. They explored the history of Route 66, which was established in 1926 as part of a numbered highway system, though the roads already existed as trails. Randy shared that Chester Avery, known as the "father of Route 66," was instrumental in mapping and naming the route after discovering that "Route 60" was already in use. Route 66's Evolution and Impact Route 66 was originally designed as a commerce route connecting small towns from Chicago to Los Angeles, with Avery, who owned a motel in Tulsa, playing a key role in its promotion. The highway passed through downtown Los Angeles at 7th and Broadway, which was once a vibrant theater district but is now run-down. The discussion highlighted how the road evolved from dirt paths used by horse and buggy to a major transportation artery for farmers in the mid-20th century, eventually being replaced by the interstate system. Route 66's Historical Evolution Randy shared his experience exploring the original and historical routes of Route 66, highlighting its evolution from 1926 to 1938, when it became the first paved numbered highway. He explained how the route was realigned and extended to Santa Monica in the 1930s, despite its official endpoint being at Olympic and Lincoln Boulevards. Randy discussed the significance of Pasadena, noting its historical attractions like the Tournament of Roses and its role in the route, and mentioned the Figueroa tunnels, built in 1940, which rerouted Route 66 onto the Arroyo Seco Parkway. Route 66 Centennial Preservation Discussion The discussion focused on Route 66's centennial anniversary in 2026 and its current state. Randy shared insights about the varying signage and preservation efforts along the historic route across different states, noting that California does a good job by allowing cities to manage their own Route 66 markings. They discussed the end point of Route 66 in Santa Monica, where a significant sign marks its conclusion, and mentioned that Mel's Diner, originally from American Graffiti, is a popular breakfast spot near the endpoint. Route 66: American Cultural Highway The discussion focused on Route 66, its history, and its significance. Randy shared insights about the route's journey from a decommissioned highway to a symbol of American history and culture. They discussed the route's connection to the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl era, highlighted by John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath." Randy encouraged watching the film adaptation to better understand the experiences of those who traveled Route 66 during this period. Bubba expressed interest in rewatching the film and learning more about this historical route. Route 66: Legacy and Relevance The discussion focused on the historical significance of Route 66, its decline with the advent of the interstate system, and its cultural impact. Randy shared insights from the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" and the animated film "Cars," emphasizing key scenes that reflect the challenges faced by those who traveled the route during the 1930s. They highlighted the transition from the original Route 66 to the historic Route 66, noting the efforts to preserve its legacy. Randy assigned homework to watch these films and encouraged a reevaluation of Route 66's current state, emphasizing its relevance to small businesses and the spirit of the road. Route 66 Driving Adventure Randy shared his experience driving from Santa Monica to Chicago, offering advice for others to rent a car at LAX and start early on weekends to avoid traffic. He described driving through familiar routes, including a Tesla diner that replaced his old workplace, and emphasized taking the original Route 66 instead of freeways for a more authentic experience. Beth provided historical details about the pre-1935 route, which ran through downtown LA and Echo Park before connecting with Santa Monica Boulevard. Randy mentioned seeing a friend, Cindy, who expressed jealousy about his interaction with a computer, hinting at his close relationships with a few lifelong friends. Route 66 Journey and Challenges Randy discussed his ongoing journey along Route 66, highlighting the challenges of navigating the historic route due to poor signage and the need for guides like Austin Whittle's maps. He shared his experience at Fort Nebo, a Marine Corps base where he was briefly detained for attempting to take a picture of a Route 66 sign near the base's entrance. Randy also outlined his plan to cover different states along Route 66 over the next few months, with two weeks allocated for each state except Kansas and Texas, which he plans to cover in one episode. He emphasized the importance of preserving Route 66's history, especially during its 100th anniversary, and suggested that listeners join his Facebook page and group for more photos, stories, and detailed information The podcast is for your ears and can be found everywhere - but you should REALLY see this trip with your eyes and so come find Randy's excellent and extensive photography in our little 20,000 person page on Facebook.

Your route doesn't have to be a grind. We unpack the simple habits that separate smooth, profitable days from chaotic ones, drawing on three decades of pool service experience to show how routine, timing, and smart planning eliminate headaches before they start. The heartbeat of the conversation is a reliable workflow: show up the same day and roughly the same time each week, then run the same sequence at every stop so nothing gets missed. We explain why dosing chemicals last prevents second-guessing, and how a quick look back for a chlorine floater catches mistakes. For safety, we share a small skimmer trick—run your hose over the deck into the skimmer so you won't step into an open lid—and the mindset that keeps you from getting distracted in the first place.We also talk timing strategy. Arriving while the pump is already running turns hidden problems into visible ones: slow leaks reveal themselves, cleaners that should be moving stand still, and cloudy water is obvious on sight. Starting early adds buffer and beats heat and wind, but it works best with respect for neighbors and homeowners. We cover quiet gear choices, like carbon fiber poles that won't start a chorus of barking dogs, and route planning that avoids bedrooms and noisy yards at dawn.Then we zoom out to route design and resilience. Build crossover so Tuesday and Thursday zones overlap, making last-minute checks or holiday stacking easy.

Pool Pros text questions hereIn this episode of the Talking Pools podcast, host Kelly welcomes Matt Reither, the chairman of the PHTA Service Council, to discuss the vital role of the council in educating pool service professionals. They delve into common pool problems, emphasizing that many issues stem from design flaws rather than chemistry or service errors. Matt highlights the importance of understanding how components such as pumps, filters, and sanitizers interact to effectively diagnose and resolve these issues. As the discussion progresses, they explore the evolving landscape of pool technology, including variable speed pumps and the need for updated training materials. Matt shares insights on route management strategies to enhance operational efficiency and employee morale, emphasizing the importance of structured routes to reduce burnout among service technicians.

We attempt to weave together the history of Route 66 (The Mother Road) and Tao Te Ching chapter 66 in order to answer a listener question. Whether we pull it off or not, we at least address a few key ways in which the Tao Te Ching can shed light on global issues of our day, especially the ways in which economic injustice globally can bring insecurity and chaos to our local communities. There's a discussion also of whether a libertarian socialist society is even possible in our age.
Send us a textTwo beers, two moods, and one very honest split. We crack a Masthead Midwest Red IPA expecting a hint of caramel, only to be met with a grapefruit surge and a stubborn bitter finish that divides our panel. One of us gets a sharp, almost chemical edge and heavy carbonation; the other appreciates the hop punch and rides with it. If you've ever argued over an IPA at the table, you'll feel seen here, especially when we unpack how “red” sets malt expectations that “IPA” promptly bulldozes.Then we reset with a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Toasted Stout that eases in hot and settles into something rich and balanced. Oak, vanilla, a touch of marshmallow, and that warm bourbon finish deliver the kind of slow-sipper that makes sense on a cold night. We both land at 8 and talk through why “toasted” reads smoother than some barrel-aged bruisers. It's bold at 10% ABV without turning into syrup, and it pairs perfectly with stories about winter commutes, snow berms at the end of the driveway, and the simple victory of getting home for a well-earned pour.Between tastes, we veer into real life: salt shortages near a giant lake salt mine, whiteout clippers that follow you on Route 6, and a Queen tribute in a velvet-seat theater where you can actually sit, snack, and sing. That's the bigger theme—context flavors everything. Stress can make a bitter IPA feel harsher; a warm stout can feel like a blanket. Come for the tasting notes, stay for the banter, and leave with a short list of what to buy for your next storm night.If you enjoy candid beer reviews, subscribe on YouTube, follow along on your favorite podcast app, and drop your own scores.

My guest today is someone who is no stranger to the front of the field. A perennial podium finisher as a professional mountain biker, and over the past decade-plus one of the most accomplished ultra-endurance cyclists on the planet, he has first-place finishes at the Tour Divide, AZT, CTR, and many many more. The truth is, I'd need to create an entirely new podcast series to fully unpack the range, depth, and longevity of his career as a lifelong cyclist. For that reason, he's a man who truly needs no introduction: Kurt Refsnider. Most recently, Kurt became the first person to ride the 5,000-plus-mile Orogenesis Route -- a project more than a decade in the making, shaped by many contributors over the years. Like the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, the Orogenesis Route traverses North America from the Canadian border to the Mexican border, but it instead features as much singletrack as they can pack in - 50% of the route is singletrack. And when it reaches the border, the route doesn't stop. It intercepts and continues down the Baja Divide, one of the most iconic bikepacking routes in the world. This was no small undertaking. Not only was this Kurt's biggest bikepacking trip to date, but he was also the first person to put bike tires on large portions of the route—sections that had only been scouted digitally and pieced together through community knowledge. Inevitably, that meant running into real roadblocks. This wasn't just a bikepacking trip; it was a true bike adventure. I can think of no one more qualified to take on a project of this scale, both physically and mentally, than Kurt. It was an absolute pleasure to have him back on the podcast. He's a true OG and a legend in the sport for very good reason. And beyond all the accolades, he's simply a genuinely kind and thoughtful human being.

Brianna Maitland was 17-years-old when she disappeared from Montgomery, Vermont on the night of March 19, 2004. After spending part of the day shopping with her mother, during which Brianna briefly became visibly shaken for unexplained reasons, she went to work her evening shift as a dishwasher at the Black Lantern Inn. She finished work around 11:20 p.m. and left alone in her car, telling coworkers she planned to go home and rest before working the next day. The following afternoon, Brianna's green 1985 Oldsmobile was found abandoned along Route 118 near Richford, Vermont, backed into an old, vacant building. Brianna was not at the scene, and her personal belongings—including money, her ATM card, glasses, and medication—were left inside the vehicle, indicating she likely did not leave voluntarily. Brianna's disappearance remains unsolved. Her family, particularly her father, Bruce Maitland, has continued to advocate for answers through private investigators, public awareness efforts, and the nonprofit Private Investigations for the Missing. Despite renewed attention, FBI involvement, and a standing reward for information, no definitive explanation for what happened to Brianna Maitland has ever been confirmed. If you have any information concerning Brianna's case, please contact the FBI's Toll-Free Tipline at 1-800-225-5324 or the Vermont State Police Tipline at 1-844-848-8477. You may also contact your local FBI office, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $40,000 for information leading to the recovery of Brianna.

College today can easily cost six figures — even at public universities — and yet so many families still feel completely in the dark about how to prepare for it without sacrificing their own financial future.My guest today knows this stress intimately.Patricia Roberts grew up in a low-income household and nearly didn't attend college at all. A guidance counselor once suggested she stick with her waitressing job instead. But she pushed forward, working multiple jobs, sending money home, earning not just one degree, but eventually a law degree. That education changed her family's life… but it also came with over $100,000 in student loan debt that took two decades to repay.That lived experience is what fuels Patricia's passion today. She's spent more than 25 years working with 529 college savings plans — from helping launch some of the earliest plans at Citigroup to advising families and employers on how to use them smarter, earlier, and with far less fear.In this episode, we break down what 529 plans really are — and what they're not. We tackle the biggest myths, from “What if my kid doesn't go to college?” to “Will this hurt financial aid?” to “Is college even worth it anymore?” We also dig into major new changes that make 529s far more flexible than most people realize — including using them for trade schools, certifications, student loan repayment, K-12 expenses, and even rolling unused funds into a Roth IRA.More about Patricia: She is Chief Operating Officer of Gift of College, Inc., where she helps employers improve employees' financial well-being by offering student loan repayment assistance and matching contributions to 529 college savings and ABLE (disability savings) accounts.Patricia is also the author of Route 529: A Parent's Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans, a book she wrote with some extra time on her hands during the pandemic to help educate and inspire even more parents.
