What happens when you try to take a picture while driving, at night, showing the flip of of miles from my 2009 car. But it turned out to be a cool picture. Just took me 16 years to do it.

Banned Book Love #2
One of my favorite banned books from my childhood is - A Wrinkle in Time. Written in 1962.
A Wrinkle in Time was the 23rd most frequently challenged book in the United States from 1990–1999 and again for 2000-09, where it came in at No. 90.

Banned Books Love - book #1 - 1984 by George Orwell written in 1949.
Fitting to talk about one of the most banned books of all time.
1984 was first banned in 1981 in Jackson County, Florida, when parents claimed it was "procommunist" and contained "explicit sexual matter".
Still banned in 2024.
