Well, I'm on my way to see my brother, Larry, in Santa Barbara, CA. I drove all day yesterday, and will again today. I'm traveling Route 66 wherever it really gets away from the interstate. Much of it is just a two lane road with a 55 mile per hour speed limit running right alongside the interstate. The towns are still in the 1950's physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They don't really get why the tourists are gauking. |

This is near where John lost the race with the railroad tie laying machine and died trying (at least, that's the legend). |

John Henry's. Good food, electric trains, really sweet people. Real "RR" country. |

Route 66 towns all look like it's still 1952 |

The New Mexico desert goes on forever. It's barren beauty grows on you. Having come from the mountains, it felt like the moon to me for a while. |

I kept thinking that I was on the "Back to the Future" set. |

The middle number at the top is the outside temperature. . . I finally put my shorts on (no, I wasn't nude until then). |
