Let’s not go there

It didn’t occur to me to include the following places in my route plan until well after I’d started. Now I’m not going back to the ones I’ve already passed, and I don’t want to include the others without including them, so I don’t plan on visiting any of them.

But I probably should have included:

• Sun, West Virginia
• Mercury, Texas
• Venus, Nebraska
• Earth City, Missouri
• Mars, Pennsylvania
• Ceres, Georgia
• Jupiter, Florida
• Saturn, Indiana
• Uranus, Missouri
• Neptune, West Virginia
• Pluto, Mississippi
• Eris, Ohio

(Or somewhere like them; many of these are only one of several places with the same or similar name. Which is probably another reason not to include them, and be accused of favoritism. A third reason is some of these places’ names have nothing to do with the same-named celestial bodies; Pluto, MS, for instance, got its name by 1886, long before the dwarf planet was disovered and named.)
