Personally I hope never to be on the 405 again during rush hour...did it many years ago...and to think of it being shut down at any time is a nightmare...but right at rush hour...totally crazy. Of course, the problem is eased if there is no motorcade. OK, Lala, what are your favorite nurseries in Orange County? I love Rogers Gardens in Corona Del Mar. Chiquita |

Oh My Gosh, they said she was on an easy slope with an instructor, how could this happen to such a young woman. I'm so sorry for her family. How tough on them, one minute having a blast and next, you're gone.

I absolutly love Birds and Blooms! A friend sent me a subscription for Christmas and I devour it cover to cover. Lala - you really should send some photos in - yours are better than most in the magazine (although that bluebird is spectacular!). |

Ah sounds just like the fun of I 76 here in philly, which is two lanes from valley forge to the delaware river bridge in south philly. This is the imfamous Schuylkill Expressway derisively often referred to as the surekill crawlway. Under the original interstate highway act of Eisenhower's administration interstates were supposed to have wide medians between the lanes, no left hand exit ramps and wide shoulders for breakdowns. The purpose of the medians wasnt only for traffic safety but to allow military aircraft to land in time of national emergency. Well there are no wide medians between the lanes, several left side exits, and minimal if any shoulders on either side of the highway. The road was built along the side of the schuylkill river and blasted out from rock formations along the river edges which were close to the main railway lines out of philly to points west. There are times when the road is closed for hours because of an accident. In fact a father of 3 was killed late last fall when a truck slammed into him and several other cars. The truck was comming from california to new jersey with a load of brocoli. The truck had serious mechanical issues and the truck driver was usign his emergency brake to stop en route. Turns out the owner of the truck knew the bad condition of the rig and pressured the gypsy truck driver to falsify his logs to allow for a speedy delivery of the cargo on time. To cap that off, the owner paid a sleazeball repair facility for valid state inspection stickers without ever having seen the truck let alone inspect it as per state law. That accident closed the highway for over 8 hours while the pa state police investigated. yesterday the trucker, the owner of the truck and the owner of the repair garage were charged with vehicular homicide and other charges, Just goes to show that one never knows whether a car or truck with a state inspection sticker has a valid one or not until something happens to a poor motorist who did everything properly |

Deb, didn't you mention once that they also had a landing strip on their property? Can't really make out what's what in pix. What are all those little groups of 3 white dots. And where are houses, barns, etc. I'm great at reading maps, . . . . . on the ground! |
