Since everyone was feeling chatty, I thought I’d jump in. “So, where are we going, exactly?”
Dope pretended to be a post. Pally looked at me suspiciously like I was trying to trick him into telling me where we were going. Then he pretended to be a post, too.
I pretended to be a post. No sense making the natives restless.
The sunlight flickered on and off between the high clouds. We passed the Van Nuys airport and wound through the valley on the San Diego Freeway. Why is the 405 in LA the San Diego Freeway? When I lived in San Diego, only freeway was 5, north to LA.
When did I live in San Diego? Wasn’t only childhood; I remembered the freeway as a driver, not a kid.
Aaah; gone again.
We took Howard Hughes off the freeway and headed south on Sepulveda. That’ll take us right through the airport. Which means I’ve been there, maybe, or how else would I know South Sepulveda runs through the center of the airport?
I started racking my brain for what was south of the airport. Didn’t really matter; this car was made for traveling, and if we were going to Mexico it wouldn’t have mattered to Dope and Pally.
It also didn’t really matter, because we weren’t going through the airport, we were going to it. And I knew who Shannon was. Shannon was an international airport.
We were going to Ireland.
Intriguing, Joel! Even to my good-overwhelmed-at-the-moment brain…
Happy Sunday to you!
