We start in Pueblo, Colorado where employees of a local Red Lobster found a naturally orange lobster.
Nicknamed "Crush" for the Denver Broncos defense, orange lobsters are very rare, as in one in every thirty million!
My first thought is how closely an orange lobster resembles a cooked lobster and how fortunate it was to be picked out of the crowd for survival.
Crush was donated to the Denver Aquarium where he will be seen by the public after a quarantine period.
We moved to New England for more orange lobsters as "Peaches" gave birth to what is hoped to be many orange lobsters.
Although the odds are that only a few will turn out to be orange, finding Peaches with eggs gives some hope with orange lobsters being so scarce, egg-bearing orange lobsters are rare on the rare scale!
We stay in New England and Concord, Massachusetts where archaeologists have found musket balls that date back 250 years to the famous "Shot heard around the world" that escalated the beginning of the American Revolution.
Early reports state that they are likely to have been shot by British troops during the battle in April 1775.
Atlas Obscura writes of the renovation of the first airplane to be used as "Air Force One" as the official plane of the President is referred to.
The 1948 Lockheed C-Constellation was upgraded by Dwight Eisenhower and became the first plane to use the name Air Force One in 1953.
The plane moved to Vice President Richard Nixon in 1954 and was retired in 1968 to an Arizona storage facility, where no one realized its status until 1978.
The plane is currently being restored in Virginia, where it has been since 2016.
