Our Diablo Range

I don't think of the mountains to the east of us as being part of the Diablo Range. But, they are. When I was a kid, I thought they were hills. I know better now. They're such pretty mountains, and they are "ours".

No U Turn

I  noticed this "No U Turn" sign the other day. The husband says it has been up for a while. I wonder how many U turns were made to cause the sign to go up. It's such an odd place to even think about doing a U turn.

Where the 25 and 156 Meet

One of the benefits of roadways going through once-upon-a-time orchards, grazing lands, and vegetable fields is this: We finally get to see what we couldn't before.

Truckin'

That's right. Any chance I get, I'll get my little camera out and snap a photo—even out car windows and, as you know, through dirty windshields. Not when I'm driving, of course. This glimpse was taken as the husband and I were heading north on the Bolsa, aka 25.

Maggiora Brothers Drilling, Inc. is a local business that drills water wells and installs water pumps. I didn't know it existed until yesterday. The company has been around for over 40 years. Check out its Web site. The business is very interesting, even if wells are things you don't need.

An Appealing Glance

Metropolis—the city where Clark Kent, aka Superman, lives.

That's what comes to my mind when I see the Vault sign. I don't know why. Maybe it's the sophisticated look of the V.

For that manner, discounting the sign, downtown looks rather glamorous from this angle. Don't you think?
