🤓 Because we are in Oregon and looked it up recently when Just Rambling Around did a vlog from Springfield, OR:
Interview with Matt Groening in 2012:
“Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon. The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show “Father Knows Best” took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown. When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name. I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, “This will be cool; everyone will think it’s their Springfield.” And they do.”
😅 And now we know!
Right turn on red from both right turn lanes is allowed in California :)
Thanks! Figured there had to be some state crazy enough to allow it. Lol. -A
NC too
WA as well
Allowed in Arizona too
Michigan as well
Yes it is VERY near the Villages!!!🤣
I knew it!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 -A
I looked up the pudding saying years ago. The information I found was that the statement originally was "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." It got truncated into meaninglessness on the trip across the Atlantic.
Interesting. Thanks so much for sharing. The original makes way more sense.
Oh my goodness I was laughing so hard with the Florida man Najee with just a t-shirt on but with his parts in the whole of his neck on the shirt. That’s funny! I can’t stop laughing! lol! 😂😂🤣🤣 Gets arrested and he gets $2,000.00 bond. So hilarious! I can just picture this happening! Life couldn’t get any better than this. lol! 😂😂
I appreciate you mentioning my power draw test of the Maxxair Fan. Big "fan" of RV Miles! 😉 Keep up the great work.
I hear you Jason on the Grand Teton road being either on after it collapsed. Good for the House to go to senate about hidden fees for Airbnbs and hotels. Abby I have seen that out here in Vegas a lot. With the two red lanes. Accident waiting to happen. Nobody likes to stop at stop signs out here. That how I got hit. Love that with your Homecoming and everyone coming together and helping out. Love that.
I have to go back and watch your live videos. I forgot about that.
I’m back Jason and Abby! Sorry I got thrown off line again. It’s been touch and go! I then was feeling good with my migraines and being sick with my diabetes was not fun. I eat differently now! Lost 5 lbs. I hope you don’t hate me for leaving and all and mind I come back. I have my good and bad days. Now I’m better for now. Going to watch more video! See you soon!
You’re always welcome here. Health always comes first and we are glad to hear you are improving and we hope that continues for you! -A

Oh thank you so much for those words. I needed that. I’m trying to do better by eating right. I’m eating like gluten free and keto foods that have less carbs. It seems to be doing the trick. Until I get put on drug for diabetes which will be in a few weeks. When I find out what type of diabetes I am. Can’t wait til I know. They just told me I have it. Not the type. I forgot yo ask. I was in shock. But than you so much for understanding and all that. I love you both! ❤️🤗🥰💜 See you soon!
I really hope that Apple, Verizon, etc offer satellite messaging on a per-use basis. Even if it's expensive. Much more life-saving potential than if it's a feature you need to add in advance.
Regarding fridge use on a travel day... why not pack the fridge with ice and turn it off until you reach your FHU destination?
That’s a great tip. Thanks for sharing.
Right turn on red from double turn lanes is legal in more states than not. Turn on red laws can range from not allowed at all unless there are signs allowing (New York City & Washington DC) to allowed after a stop from both turn lanes to corresponding lanes (most states). States like Minnesota allow turn on red unless it is a red turn arrow when it is not allowed. So it’s knowing the laws on the state you are driving in.
I would caravan or go with friends like you did. It sounds better to with other people. Nice way to make friends.
When we RV to Alaska again we’ll def go with other RVers.

I can tell you had fun when you were with another family.. Clay and Jamie! They were a nice family. Glad you went with them.
I've also been told AT a national park that they couldn't sell me an annual pass because they were out of cards. Couldn't credit my admission towards it. Couldn't mail it to me. Only could rip me off for a day pass and tell me to try again.
I have to think it is an intentional ripoff, since it is so east to call headquarters and say "Can you mail us another box of passes?"
in Wisconsin, "When the roadway has two right-turn lanes, you may turn right on red from either of them." Just fyi. Still does not make it safe all the time, in my opinion😊
Thanks for sharing. I’m not a fan either but clearly it’s more common than I thought. -A
You are assuming that a map database, even from Apple, has the ability to add new fields (height, width, weight) to each record in ther database. That's not always possible. Software sometimes has limits on the number of fields in each record.
Oh my goodness, that made me laugh so hard.
lol.
Whats new on National Parks and RUclipsrs? Anyone being charged?
Jason so what dues that mean about iPhone will satellite to your phone so you text your family for anything if your in trouble let say? I don’t get that! Is something you have pay for or does it come with the phone? I was understanding that
Guess we need a lithium battery. We are in a Renegade Verona.
I see people camping at Walmart all the time near I live but it bother me. Either that they are shopping for groceries. Not sure which but it wouldn’t bother me at all. I would hate to come in late at campground and wake people up. We never did it in hotels. My family and I jest’s stopped driving at 5:00 check a room and then go eat. But never at night didn’t want to wake people up.
The Simpson's Springfield must be Illinois because there is a nuclear plant in relatively close proximity. About an hour drive away and an easy commute for Homer.
Good point!
For something like 20 years, there have been ADA compliant standards for web sites. There are also programs that will check your web site and give you a list of deficiencies. So there's pretty much only three reasons not to comply
Dumb
Cheap
Doesn't give a damn
I got thrown off on RUclips this time. Internet worked but not RUclips.
I’ll never look at my t-shirt collection quite the same way again🫣
You’ll always think of Florida man now when you put your t-shirt on…
