[Spridgets] No LBC - Road conditions

[Michael Rowe]

I had a really good visit with Rich and his wife, and was amazed that the 
"Hawaiian-style Food" in Everett WA was actually authentic and excellent 
plate-lunch fare.  His yard looks authentic, too, with one Spridget at the 
curb and a tub on the lawn.

I made it back in 14 days - first San Juan Island, WA south to Los Angeles, 
then ocean to ocean - visiting family and friends in San Francisco, LA, Palm 
Springs, and Taos, and making  miles thereafter.  I don't know how many 
miles as my speed sensor went partially bonkers (0 to 120 mph in half a 
second!) and the odometer only worked when the speedometer worked - half the 
time or less, depending.  I managed to replace the sensor without a lift in 
some tiny town in TN, only possible for someone as small as I.  But it only 
lasted a day.  It may be the wires, which hang down asking to be jerked by a 
stick on the road.

I have only one really significant observation from this  trip:
In Washington State the speed limit is 60 mph.
People drive 60 mph.
It must be a West Coast thing.
