Her name was actually Renee but I called her Pandora because of her Porche Boxster, we met, duelling on the freeway…just like a worm, parts in the middle are perfectly motionless while other bits accelerate …but the system is fantastic, freeways get you a long way, very quickly…just don’t miss your turn off…aarrgghhh…hours later… the striated concrete often runs askew to the lane markings, (the striations made by a roadworker with St Vitus’ Dance dragging a huge rake down the line of the freeway, roughly) and at high speed, and with constant buffeting, gusseting turbulence, hazardous!…but the signage is great, but sometimes disconcerting, a huge electronic sign on the freeway advises a child abduction and gives details of the car involved!…..but once off the main routes, the signage is often missing…..I did an 80 mile loop trying to follow a back road this morning!…

Ahh…the good ol’ US of A …consistently the continuum continues to confound, there, I got that off my chest…from the very, very best, the cutting edge, the high end, the biggest, brightest, bestest of science, arts, design, friendliness, generosity, hospitality..to the nadir of depression, depravity, sicko, weirdo, poverty, meanness, injustice…hey, you all know the bad side…but I
have always maintained it is impossible, not to say foolish, to generalise about the US…I have met some of the finest people I know from the states and I am constantly blown out by the depth and sincerity of so many of the people I meet…sure, there is a broad ignorance of so many things outside their world but that is not their fault, and now, in 2 days in San Clemente I meet regular people who drag me off the street, insist on buying beers all afternoon, offer me room and board, Brad and Mike, showing me different routes, talking bikes and travels, catching up with Scott who I met in Bariloche, great to see him again, took me around to meet a guy who works on,
