Your Father's Oldsmobile
I made the decision the other day to expand that state thing I've been doing to include supplementals touching on certain historic points I suspect may be essential to understanding why certain state-related things happened. I originally meant for there to be one, then expended it to two, and now am thinking there might need to be four or five. It's a self-indulgent expansion, but then the whole project is fairly self-indulgent, so I'm going with it. The upshot, though, is that I won't post the thing today I thought I was going to post, so instead I'll post this picture of an old car driving into Michigan from Indiana along a route we've started taking to avoid highway construction. To reference an old car commercial, this is your father's Oldsmobile. I'm not sure of the model year. I'm thinking '59.
This post represents another one of those accounting dilemmas I get hung up on every once in a while, as this drive was the start of a weekend trip up to Ludington, Michigan. The question is, do I consider this a "trip" and give it its own trip album? On the one hand, we did spend two nights in a tent in the national forest just north of Ludington. On the other hand, Ludington's close enough to almost be considered home territory. I've gone both ways on Ludington trips in the past. This time, I think I'll give it an album, but I might change my mind later on.
This is a more important question than you might guess. I recently had somebody defriend me early in the process of posting trip pictures after complaining that I'd used the trip's destination for the name of the album despite having not yet posted any pictures from that destination. People take these things seriously.
