Okay, road spellers. It is official. ENGLEBREKT is the way to spell the road. Can't argue with the Registry of Probate. And speaking of roads, Route 27, along the dangerous Mason Road stretch, now has reflector chevrons to mark the curve, compliments of MDOT.

Saturday, around noon, we learned of an accident up the hill from 234 River Road. A big CMP cherry-picker truck was stationed in our driveway while the site was investigated Drivers never take that hill seriously, and lately along its curve, the surface has heaved and shaken so it is practically ruffled! Yesterday, while we were stuffing ourselves at the Great Pizza Challenge at Cook's Corner, another accident occurred just across from us. In this "Little Winter," please, everyone, drive very carefully!

The morning after Christmas 2002, Bob and Cyndy Brown drove out of their driveway and took 14,580 miles to get back to it! They went through every one of the 47 southern states except Rhode Island (now, why did they skip Little Rhody?), visiting stately homes and plantations, national parks and preserves, battleships and casinos (did not come back millionaires). Bob reports that the fastest way to go around Houston is the Sam Houston Tollway, but it is also the most expensive. (Gee, I coulda told him that!) But going around the Loop, aka I-610, took them an hour to go 7 miles. (I coulda told him that, too!) I wonder if they might have passed the Angus Kings along the way?
