Farewell to Stephen


We've said goodbye to one of our small party. Stephen the blue Chrysler Sebring complained all the way from Big Sur to SF that he wanted an oil change. He also developed a bad case of the shakes (hence the name) when braking. An as yet unnamed silver replacement was acquired at SF airport this morning.

Our other travelling companion, Martha the Satnav, was a bit miffed and wouldn't speak to us on the return journey. Martha seems to have a very direct and straight to the point personality. She'll tell us the quickest route even if it means we spend an hour in traffic, while slight detour would mean we get there sooner. While driving from LA to Santa Barbara, Martha wanted us to use the quickest route, Highway 101, which is inland. We wanted the coastal Highway 1 and every time we diverged from her chosen path back to Hwy 101 Martha would say "Recalculating". I swear that after 2 hours her tone had changed to "RECALCULATING!!!"

Anyway, on the way back from the airport we stopped at Candlestick Park - home of the 49'ers
