"I love the Interstate Rest Areas on road trips. I’m a Canadian from the west coast, and was always VERY impressed with the 24/7 rest areas. Clean washrooms, nice grassy areas for dogs, picnic tables, and a lot of times people selling crafts, or offering free coffee!"

"Make sure there’s ice in your beverage"

"Odd as it sounds, our civil engineering. Have been abroad to England/South Africa/Philippines and was struck by how different aka organized many things we take for granted are in the US from municipal utilities to driving code/structure to building arrangements to household fixtures and the list goes on.
It’s remarkable how polished they are here. Our worst is still far better than many most likely. Hats off to the men and women involved in that work."
