Thinking back to my childhood, I’m not so sure there are any songs about the historical oddity that is Point Roberts, Washington!

Your best geographic or other tips are much appreciated!

This evening we’re delighted to present Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant 1958 film, Vertigo, starring Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart.  Besides enjoying some delightful filmmaking, it’s also wonderful to see San Francisco and vicinity during more brilliant times.  Finally, listen carefully to the way Novak speaks.  Though she’s American, she talks in a Mid-Atlantic accent that was common amongst movie stars of the era.

Your most interesting recent tips are definitely appreciated.

Your road-trip focused or other tips are mightily appreciated!

Bonus: Kim Iversen has kept her reputation. Fauci is a coward.
