This is exactl...ZOMG WE ARE LIKE SECRET LIFE TWINS! This is exactly like my family trips to L.A., also a city that many people see as a place of shallowness, traffic and sin, but that I see as someplace infinitely richer, where my whole family lives. Not to mention to landmarks along highway 5. Next time we're at GSA we have to geek out about 5, because I, too, know it like the back of my hand. Lololol don't you love that Petro rest stop with the random movie theater in the back? And doesn't Coalinga smell awful?<br /><br />Also, I'll comment here on your other Las Vegas post. I think every major city has a good side and a bad side. It always makes me think a little bit about how the priorities of humankind are in all the wrong places. But on the other hand, we have the freedom to put them in the wrong places, which is kind of a beautiful thing. Otherwise we'd be communist, and history has shown us that trying to regulate society's priorities - Stalin says open soup kitchens first, build Vegas later - just doesn't work as it's supposed to. I suppose the idea is that when people are left to their own devices the money supply will eventually shift naturally to where it should be, because people are in general altruistic. But it's a grander, slower, more natural change than it would be if we were Communist, and as soon as it begins to address one problem another has sprung up and the lumbering conscience of society has to catch up. But eventually it all works out. Hopefully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
