This past weekend, holiday shoppers and travelers packed Ohio roadways and interstates.
Numerous accidents and near accidents created stressful weekends for the unfortunate many.
Often, during heavily traveled weekends, you grit your teeth and play the cards you've been dealt.
If you think our roads are tough, be thankful you don't have to travel on one of the Most Dangerous Roads In The World.

Sunday Morning Museum Party
Say you're looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon? You'd love to visit a museum, but that requires getting off the couch, bathing, a long drive, and an admission fee.
Fear not, my intrepid museum wanna be visitors. From the comfort of your home, you can visit multiple museums by heading into the Museum of Online Museums. No tickets, no travel, and you can become enlightened while wearing nothing.
The museum features a compilation of online museums, many quite fascinating.
For instance, when your parents call and beg you to come visit, let them know you're going to the Museum of Early LCD Watches and later, you'll be stopping by the Cereal Character Premium Museum.
If you wish to take a serious turn and impress friends and co-workers, let them know you visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Modern Design in Zurich in the same afternoon. I'll bet you can hear the oooh's and aaah's as you spin tales of exhibitions you viewed.
With so many choices, how many museums can you cram into your Sunday?

Twentieth Century Travel In Coshocton
September 1911--In early September, Coshoctonians awoke to a buzzing motorcycle like sound above them. Sailing 500 ft. above Coshocton, two men in a Wright bi-plane moved through the early morning sky at about 50-60 miles per hour.
The Coshocton Daily Age waxed poetic about the sight claiming "twentieth century travel is here" and "the days of miracles are not past". The paper described the aeroplane as a "great and stately bird".
The plane, purchased by wealthy Ohioan Albert Elton, was purchased in Dayton and flown to Columbus. The following morning, Elton set out for Youngstown, but due to heavy winds, ended up in Newark. Once again, Elton took the plane up and headed toward Coshocton, but landed in Trinway. Darkness and wind kept the plane grounded until the next morning when Elton passed over Coshocton on his way to Youngstown.
