2:29. On the road.

The moon is low in the sky and yellow-orange. It looks like a Cocoino County moon. Like a potato chip hanging heavy in the sky.

Herriman is smiling upon our absurd, mythic quest.

Oh yeah.

Also, we did eighty down the 405.

At Ken's place earlier than we thought. Being back in LA is... weird. There was a catch in my breath when we crested the hills and I saw a grid of lights out to the horizon. What if I never leave again?

*gasp* Oh, you mad rebel, you!

(I shouldn't tease, even if I have been known to clock 130 (uncaught) down the freeway. There's probably a big difference between 80 on the way to Los Angeles and 80 on a stretch of I-77 in East Clamshit, Ohio.)

Hee. This is really an LA joke. The 405 is, during most of the day, legendarily jammed for most of its length. Doing 80 on it is wrong.

Being on it at 4:50 AM is the trick...

But it was just fine when I drove on it!

In Seattle! ^_^

Hahaha, I can't get away with doing 130 in my car, it'll shake itself apart. :D

My speedometer doesn't even go that high. :)

(I think it tops out at 125, and I doubt my car can even reach that.)

I used to have an old Firebird, that got up there. >_> it is long since deceased, though.

I have a 1997 Honda Civic LX, so I'm pretty sure mine doesn't. :)

Priority code Slepnir. Orders: you WILL show this reply to Rik and ask him to act in my stead.

End priority code, normal operation resuming now.

This is where I snarl and bite you until you squeal in pain, then probably get distracted by fondling or tickling you.

Once when I was a kid, in the car with Mom at night heading to Wichita Falls or someplace, I saw the moon near the horizon, big and orange, and with a narrow dense stratus cloud cutting right across the center.

At first glance, I thought it was a Burger King sign.

You went 80? On the 405? I had no idea that was even possible!
