Then y'oughta go through Yuma.


Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

People in TX, NM, and AZ do not refer to it as the 10. And if you wanna be prickly about it, it's also acceptable to Californians to call hgwy's by their god-given names. The 10 is also the Santa Monica Freeway; the 5, the San Diego Freeway, but only south of LA; the 110, the Hollywood Freeway, until you get to...

I know how to get to every IN 'n' Out Burger in the state! (Well, south of Humboldt County, anyway. I've never found a need to travel much further north, or I've never remembered to once I got there.)

Interestingly, I call it the 405 and the other it 580. (The 405 is in SoCal, 580 is in NorCal). I've lived in both. Still haven't gotten used to calling it Route 7 though.


Agreed, there’s no one in Phoenix I know who calls it anything but “THE 10.” Only usually in the news (traffic reports) in the West valley do you hear it referred to as the “Papago Freeway, “ but AFAIK that’s a legacy from when it was first extended into central phoenix since before that it ended out near where I live and you usually had to get off on Lower Buckeye AFAIR. Sometimes in the central valley it’s called the “Maricopa Freeway,” again mostly in traffic reports.

Even what used to (at least when I was growing up) always be called the “Black Canyon Freeway” is now almost universally called “The 17.”

Has anyone else wondered at how many “Anonymous” guests are always viewing the “So what are you listening to tonight?” thread? I just counted 33 out of the 93 listed as “Who’s Online.”

Funny, I usually find this thread to be pretty boring.

That's because you're doing it wrong, Ken.

I do, Dean. I wonder if this thread pops up in search engines when people are looking for a review of such-and-such?

I've decided I give my stamp of approval for that whole Grouplove album. I'm finding it one I keep going back to. Good stuff.
