It's a fairly short street, but it has a lot of trees and nice landscaping around the houses. I'll have to take a picture of it (the streetsign) sometime...

I saw Vacaville on the map when I was trying to pinpoint the epicenter of that 'quake. That's Spanish for cowtown, I guess. Somebody pointed out recently that there was a town called Howard in Pennslyvania. I checked my map and found out that there are really two Howards in Pa. I ran across a street called Cushman Street in Tacoma, Wash., and I got my picture taken standing by the sign. I wish I'd had my scooter there. It would have been a better picture.
