Did they know we were coming?I saw other sights.

Have you ever pondered how much gumption is required for business travel? I flew across the continent and then drove a rental car, alone, in unknown territory in the dark to find my hotel. Mark warned me to be careful to avoid going over any bridges or into a tunnel. Fortunately, I found the hotel relatively easily.
On the way back to the airport, I offered a ride to a fellow meeting attendee from JPL. He had been a program manager of an instrument built out at nearby NASA Langley so he was quite familiar with the way back to the airport. Had it not been for him, I could easily have been trapped in a lane heading through a bridge or tunnel and then missed my flight. From my experience, California road signage is clearer than east coast signage.

My favorite east coast vernacular road sign is "Exit Only". On the west coast this means that the freeway you are on has an upcoming lane from which you must exit. If you want to, fine. If not, merge left.
ReplyDeleteOn the east coast when this sign means that after you exit the freeway there is no way to get back on without traveling to the hinterlands of New Jersey for a U-turn.
wow, I had no idea that I could view the colortables; that's rad!
