Don’t be “e-litist”, Pamela. Someone has to sling “double-doubles” (just fuckin call it coffee, you pretentious sow..) .. I hope someone farts in the next one you order.

Let me add a second plug for the Point Reyes Station House, particularly the garden seating if the weather is nice.

We were just in Scotia a couple of days ago, and the Scotia Inn looked open. Maybe someone reopened it?

Those aren’t the whales singing, those are the abalone barking, Jaym…

Northern California! Home turf. There are too many lovely places there.

If any of you ARE in the Marin area, Point Reyes is wonderful. And you might try to find a little lighthouse that’s at the end of a dripping, tree-lined road and at the base of too many steps looking out over steep cliffs. After puffing down those, on a foggy morning, you just might hear the whales singing.

And if you hear that, you will never forget it. I promise!

Enjoy the peaceful, solitary, memory-soaked place Mr. Scalzi!

I don’t think Scalzi is into drinking adult beverages, TF…

I hope that you’re enjoying your time in Caleeforniya! Did you remember to bring that $24 billion to help our useless state government balance the budget? I know that’s a lot of double-doubles, but help a brother (or two or 33 million) out!

Don’t forget to visit the North Coast Brewing Company in Fort Bragg or the Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka! That is, if you enjoy a tasty pint of awesome…

Another Lize @18 – the lane on the far left (which adjoins oncoming traffic) is known as the “suicide lane”. The lanes get moved during the day to accomodate rush hours, so in the morning there are 3-4 lanes southbound and in the evening 3-4 lanes northbound.

Don’t let anyone tell you the commute to SF is dull!

Another Liz @18: The lane markings are much more visible than they appear in the photo. Otherwise, you could just follow the biggest truck to ensure a clear path…
