Another long drive.

I see I've set myself up for another long drive today, going all the way from Moab -- I'll have more photos later -- to San Jose, via "The Loneliest Road," a drive I've done before and loved.

So be patient about seeing your comments approved again today, and feel free to talk about any news stories that come up today right here.

So what precipitated this long long drive? Are you alone? I've often thought it would be cool to start out on Rte. 80 in NY and take it all the way to San Francisco where it ends at the Embarcadero!

How much drinking water do you carry in your car when travelling through arid areas in summer?

Evidently, you do know the way.

(la la, la, la, la la, la, la, la laaaaaah)

(how many different versions of this quip are waiting to be approved?)

And did you stop at the Little A'Le'Inn?

(most likely not, a little too far south, probably)

Another song plays in my head when comparing you to your co-panelist at the BlogHer conference.

Ought to be interesting, anyway.

And Sunday you could check out the San Jose Grand Prix (been to the Long Beach one, loud, crowded, fun)

Wow! You sure know how to schedule your trips out of town. You’ve probably heard about our flash floods on a day when it wasn’t even supposed to rain.

I include this link to my post about today’s NYT story re: art in the classroom (and Arshile Gorky) making students smarter because it’s the sort of thing you would have picked up on if you had the time and weren’t on the road.

Enjoying your journey vicariously. Keep the photos coming.

Quite the rainfall in Madison today as well as Waukesha where I live.

Ann,

Goodness gracious. I can see one 1000 mile leg on a trip (barely), but two? In the space of a few days? And your route from Moab to San Jose, beautiful but certainly not 75 mph.

I'd quit in Carson, City.

Welcome to CA

I guess I'm the only freak who likes Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick, oh well.

Hope you slept well (after 16 hours on the road, how could you not?), enjoy the conference.

(I'm assuming you'll be reading and approving this comment sometime Friday morning or afternoon)

If you aren't going into the conference today, are you at all tempted by the latest Woody picture?

(Somehow seeing pictures solo in a strange city, is more fun than seeing a picture solo at home, can't explain, but I know it's true for me)

And some other Californian beat me to it, but I'll also say it also,

Welcome to the Golden State!

I also heard that Kendall Avenue was closed off for a while yesterday because so much debris washed down from higher up. 4" in one hour will do that.

Here are some pictures. Most of the damage was along Randall between Dayton and Regent.
