Cars & Jack

Saturday, Nov. 11, 2006 - 12:52 a.m.

Friday night, John and I watched the Pixar movie, Cars.

I don't care what anybody else has told you about this movie -- more than anything else, it's a love story.

The Friday Five A Day Late:

If you had to move 100 miles or more to the north, east, west, or south, which would you choose, where would you end up, and what's so great about there?

Probably east because I'm familiar with what's there. I'd end up just east of Sacramento in the Sierra foothills.

Do you have a favorite stretch of highway or byway for driving, touring, or wandering?

I like Highway 20, all the way from Ukiah to Reno, and some parts of 101 are really wonderful, too.

Are you happier to start a trip or return home?

Happy with both, for different reasons.

Plane, train, automobile, bicycle, or foot?

Once in awhile an extended car trip is spectacular, but I've come to appreciate air travel.

Do you overplan or underplan your travels? (Assume that "no" is not a valid answer.)

Well, I tend to overPACK, but once I get to where I'm going, things kind of go however. I have 'travel traditions', but those get fulfilled as time permits and if they don't happen, that's fine.

Former 49ers head coach Bill Walsh just announced he has leukemia.

This is sad and ironic, because if memory serves me correct, his son Steve Walsh died of the same thing.

I am also reading that Tammy Faye Bakker Messner is now in hospice care, after battling lung cancer for several years.

Finally, rest in peace, Vladimir Palahnuik.

You sure were a sexy old fart.

Okay. Have a Saturday.
