8. So many parts of Spokane look so promising.
I'm sort of ashamed that I never stop there on my way through.

11. Beautiful. I saw that place maybe 17 years ago on a business trip.
Probably time to revisit that part of NM.

How are you, man? Good to see you.

26. Highland Lighthouse, Truro, Mass
Also known as Cape Cod light. Back in 1996 it was moved back about 200 feet because it was in danger of falling into the ocean.

27. Why do they put lighthouses near the ocean?
If they'd move them inland a few miles they'd never have to move them.
