    When I was about ten years old, we went to South Perth Zoo. There were Chipmunks running free around the zoo and I fell in love. They're way too cute!

      It's given me a great appreciation of 'outback' US. Given me an inspiration to do this trip in 2026.

    In a moment of profound unintentional meta, Mad Skelli describes the physical attributes of the chipmunk without realising that she is, in fact, also describing herself !
    This was a great little mini-documentary, well filmed/edited and narrated; fun to see Mr.Firebird harmoniously and philosophically interacting within the settings of his natural habitat.
    Looking forward to the rest of the Route 66 series 👍

    2:24 You've picked the Italian one LOL If I am to translate back to English it says "Travel notes" hope that is the one lol... I do seem to hear of a few Italians famous people who have done route 66...
    It then says something about "now you can go on a trip/excursion" (Adesso fai un'escursione)... on the "middle right corner"

    I wonder if it makes sense to do Route 66 or if it would feel counter intuitive...?
    The main reason being that WHEN I drive on it I'd like to buy a car and California being a good state to buy a car (Preferably a land yacht), would be better to buy there rather than Chicago or even New York (NY being a must visit for me)

    • @WastelandFirebird

      Fly to NYC, rent a car one-way to LA with unlimited miles, go to Chicago, then Route 66 to LA!

    18:35 I think though people are slightly angrier now than in the 20th century because corporations ahve more power and way more influence on government that people feel they can't fulfuil their dreams as much as they used to...
    I'll just conclude this comment by saying that I'd love to see USA one day and "when I see it" lol
