Yesterday, we saw "Ride the Cyclone" at The MAIN. Excellent show. What I didn't realize until writing this up was that the plot is very similar to Cats, although the execution is much better and much darker.

I'm not fooling you. These really are headlines about California Highways for March 2026. I promise I didn't create or fabricate a single one of them.

Because I didn't want you to think I was fooling you by dropping an episode of the podcast on April 1, I dropped the next episode of the CARxR podcast today. This one covers the middle of Route 12: the segment from Fairfield/Suisan City through Rio Vista to Lodi.

Yesterday afternoon, we saw "Here Lies Love" at Center Theatre Group/Mark Taper Forum). Excellent production, with many story parallels (alas) to our current political situation. I still love the song "God Draws Straight". Well worth seeing.

A new episode of the podcast is up. This episode focuses on Route 12, which runs from Route 1 near Valley Ford to Route 49 near San Andreas. This episode focuses on the portion between Route 1 and I-80, from the coast through Sebastapol, Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Napa, and into Cordelia.
This ep covers Route 11. Specifically, (1) LRN 11, which is today's US 50 between Sacramento and Nevada; (2) Sign Route 11, which is today's Route 110/I-110; and (3) today's Route 11, which is a small connector between Route 905/Route 125 and the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry.
Well, perhaps half a day early. Here are your headlines about California's Highways (and a few related topics) for the month of January 2026. As I always say, "Ready, set, discuss".
Ep 4.06 of the podcast is live and covers the San Bernardino Freeway portion of I-10, and along the road looks at the history of US 60, US 70, and US 99. We also discuss the non-interstate portion of Route 10, Route 10S, and historical routings that evolved into the freeway.

Last night, we saw "All The Villains Are Here", written and performed by Patrick Page, at the BroadStage in Santa Monica. An excellent show, with a deep dive exploration of all the villains in Shakespeare, explored chronologically. We really enjoyed it. @allthedevilsrhere.bsky.social #LAThtr
Oh, great Internet brain: I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade my existing Windows 10 system to Windows 11, or purchase a new Windows 11 system. Details are in the attached post. I'm on extended support until October, so I've got a little time, but I do need to decide. Opinions?
Last night, we saw "The Notebook" @ Broadway In Hollywood / Hollywood Pantages Theatre . For a show about memory and forgetting, it was pleasant and weepy and lovely and ... forgettable. Wonderful performance that are, luckily, quite memorable. @notebookmusical.bsky.social #LAThtr #Theatre
I'd like to keep the price under $200, and am not interested in Apple products. I thought about Fitbit again, but their build quality has gone downhill. Thoughts on the Garmin VA5 vs the Amazfit A2? Links in next pieces 2/4
My Fitbit Inspire HR is dying. I'm looking to replace it. The top two candidates are the Garmin Vivoactive5, ~195 at Amazon, and the Amazfit Active 2 Square, ~119 at Amazon. Both have pros and cons. 1/4 #Fitness #FitnessTrackers #SmartWatches
A new episode of the podcast is up: This one explores all things 10: The 10th route defined, LRN 10, Sign Route 10, and of course, the first segment of I-10: The Santa Monica Freeway. Enjoy the episode, and please share it in all the appropriate places. Find it here, or in your favorite podcatcher.
