Classic Car Talk |
Driving north on I-5 near Yreka, California, I stopped at a gas station to fill up before heading home from Mt. Lassen. This car pulled up to the pump next to me, and I couldn't help but admire its sleek lines and distinctive front grille or perhaps "shark nose". I asked the gentlemen who were in the car if I could take a photo, and they were most pleased to have me do so. The car is a Graham Supercharger. I wasn't familiar with the Graham name, but evidently the company was founded by two American brothers and a Canadian. Hence, the link to our map of North America.

Travels with Charley |
|
John Steinbeck
When I first read this book back in high school, I was confused by it. I had really liked The Grapes of Wrath, Cannery Row, and Tortilla Flat. I even named my cat Torelli after one of the characters in Tortilla Flat.
Travels with Charley was about Steinbeck's 3 month journey "in Search of America." He found places that delighted him, but more often he was saddened by the changes that had occurred in the country (for example - losing regional dialect), and by many of the people he encountered. The first time I read the book, I was too young to be disappointed by much of anything. That's why I love a good re-read: Something can strike you one way when you're 16 and another when you're...well...older!
