This is a real road sign in New Zealand. Two towns 44km apart.

Just learned that when my State Rep wrote back. Evidently happened in 2016. I haven't been to Newport in years...maybe we should head to the coast sometime.

Stayed on I-5 to Albany/20, the plan being to branch off at the Albany-Lyons Highway then take Fish Hatchery Road to Richardson Gap. Wasn't paying attention and didn't realize I'd missed the cutoff until I saw the "Honey" sign which, thanks to those long-ago references, I knew was only a few miles outside of Lebanon. Hung a u-ey and got back on track.

Although interesting only to me, this story of getting lost would itself have been lost in my mind's history if not for this thread. So, thanks!

I'm a big fan of the old Huell Howser shows, just goofy enough to be entertaining.
What you see in those shows is really him, no act.
But we did get into a little bit of a disagreement once, over ... wait for it ... politics.
Go figure.

he did a show on some really old giant diesel engines I help rebuild in my yoot,
