On the airplane (new page for Airplanes, by the way) . . . some strange things. Here, for example, is the way the Royal Jordanian in-flight magazine described Eat, Pray, Love:

And here is the way the Delta in-flight magazine described it:

We also marveled at the come-hither look the lady on the Delta fasten seat belt announcement had. Hubba hubba:

In Phoenix, we went back to Hance Park and saw the I-10 plaque installed there. Under Hance Park (aka Deck Park) is the final link in the transcontinental interstate, completed in 1992:

A new page for the Palm Tree Stealth Monopole at 15th Avenue and Camelback Road. I love these things:

In April, we had to fly through O’Hare and saw one of these old school Airfones. I almost forgot about these things:

We ate at Culver’s (nearest location to NYC is about 473 miles west in Reynoldsburg, Ohio).
We saw the D-Backs vs. Giants at Chase Field early in the season when no one — no one! — knew that the D-Backs would be that good:
