Except it was highway 33 not route 66. So I said there must have been hundreds of places like that.\nThen she asked where did route 66 start and finish? After I told her (Chicago to Los Angeles) I said I was partial to Interstate 5. I had to explain it goes from Mexico to Canada, then on into Alaska.\nShe she said in the most dead-pan voice, you can drive to Alaska? Sure I said, just go thru Canada and you’ll end up in Alaska.\nShe insisted, you can’t drive to Alaska because it is down by Hawaii. I thought that was a strange thing to say.
