Update about blogCa

I-40 picked up the old Rte. 66 somewhere along the way, maybe Little Rock, maybe Oklahoma City. But it is the 100th anniversary of Rte 66 so I enjoyed thinking about my parents driving on part Of it in. St. Louis at least. Here we continued from Santa Rosita to Gallup NM, then left both highways to go north to CO.

City life

 I enjoy Open Culture, which sends all kinds of interesting links on every topic imaginable. It's a free subscription. Every day I just see what's been added, and choose whether or not to look into it.

This came up last week...an animated  video of the largest cities on earth since 3000 bc. Check it out if you're interested!

      I stopped it a few times, so many cities I'd never heard of!

    Interesting. Wonder how they got the numbers from the lesser known sites.

      I guess there are histories out there with the guesses on the numbers.

    Barbara, Very interesting! Bagdad was the first city to reach 1 million...and then it faded and it was several centuries later before any other city reached and passed that level. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
