@mapquest.com would you consider changing the word choice in your directions from, "at the next traffic lights go straight through the intersection" to "at the next traffic lights go forward through the intersection" everywhere... never go straight always go forward 🏳️‍🌈🦄

the venus fly trap does have beautiful blooms tho
venus fly trap flowers blooming. white petals with a subtle lime greenish color in the center. the filament of the stamens is also white but the anther is yellow. The stigma in the center is a delicate white, like tiny little daisies almost. 
in the background and out of focus is the green pat with the fly traps.
This plant died shortly after blooming. I did not know it would die. I also did not know how beautiful it was.

what's in my #coffee? russell stover chocolate truffle egg this taste like the intentions of a fancy corporate mocha but made poorly. imagine hard water flat with all the oxygen boiled out and the end of the syrup bottle where one ingredient settled to the bottom. bitter failure. #WhatsInMyCoffee
a russell stover chocolate truffle egg in the bottom of the beginning of a cup of coffee. just enough coffee pouref to get it melty. the fancy colorful easter candy wrapper is tien open and at the side of the mug a 16 oz  mug of coffee that looks mildy brown, stirred with bubbles in tge center. an entire russell stover chocolate truffle egg has been melted in the coffee. discarded candy wrapper on the side begs for attention—look at me im so easter tasty.
