This Just In: New on the Net

Editor

Yesterday, I drove back from Deadwood, Oregon, and made a little detour so I could take 101 along the Pacific. Even thought I get nervous when I’m too far from tall buildings or Thai food, it was still awesome. Anyway, here’s the news:

Transformers star Shia LaBeouf, was arrested for DUI early yesterday morning after an "unsuccessful" turn left his truck upside down in a LA intersection. Seriously, why don’t drunken celebrities just take a cab when they get wasted? Are they really worried about a $20 fare? Perez Hilton
If you kill someone while sending a text message in England, you’ll get a stiffer sentence than you would if you were talking on the phone. Is it fair? Who knows. The one clear thing here is just how awful it would be to be responsible for a traffic death. Auto Express
The first Ferrari California has been spotted in the wild, and even thought I don’t like the idea of a Prancing Horse with a convertible hard-top, I still think it looks pretty good. What do you think of the blue? World Car Fans
Well, if there’s one thing that all model of cars have in common, it’s that sometime, somewhere, somebody is going to wreck one. For the Tesla Roadster, Friday was that day. Jalopnik

John,

How interesting to me that you took that particular highway to the coast. Years ago before Interstate 5 was built the shortest route from the coast to the Willamette Valley was that very beautiful highway. I recall many family trips on that windy highway and there was a very popular rest stop at Triangle Lake where we always stopped for lunch. I remember one of the weirdest things I ever saw at that lake. I was 8 years old and my mother and father walked me across the road to watch a boy my age water-ski. The boat towed him too close to the dock and his skis went under the dock and he went over. It scared me to death. While people were screaming as all hell broke loose someone jumped out of his car to help and forgot top set the brake. That car rolled into the lake almost running over a bunch of people. It was a crazy day. I have often wondered if it is an popular as it once was.
