I left a comment on this CityNerd video
Dec. 21st, 2023 01:48 pmThe preview image looked eerily familiar, so I zoomed in the sign listing the exits and read "Yorba Linda Blvd. Weir Canyon Road" then CA 241. That's heading east on CA 91 just past the intersection with CA 90 in Anaheim Hills. Hey, I used to live within a mile of where that picture was taken! Appropriately for the video, I commuted to downtown LA from there.
BTW, ever had The Cheesecake Factory sponsor a video? That would be a hoot!
That was about the background, which probably came from a drone carrying a telephoto lens, because the mountains would otherwise be much smaller. The foreground has been added from a traffic jam in Arizona.
Happy Name Your Car Day

Happy National Sunglasses Day!
Jun. 27th, 2023 02:21 pmI had my sunglasses on today for driving. My department chair wore regular glasses, but had a print of sunglasses on his t-shirt, so he celebrated, too.
A video about diatomaceous earth
Apr. 18th, 2023 11:59 pmI grew up on a hill of this stuff and I tell my students about it. Maybe I'll add this to my lecture.
The first drum corps I marched in
