OK, so I haven’t really been on the ROAD, so much as up in the air, or in a hotel, or working at my new gig. Apologies dear readers, for the dearth of updates, and the complete lack of “car photo of the day” posts. I am at home now after spending two weeks in northern California being immersed in my new job. Facebook is a very cool company to work for, and my new colleagues are awesome.
My time home here is really just a “touch & go” visit, as I arrived back very late on Friday (actually Saturday morning!) and will be flying out to the east coast on Tuesday afternoon. While I’m here I’m taking care of household issues. While I was gone the skylight over our “sun room” sprung a leak during the first rain in ages, and caused the back room of our basement to collect some water. It is as if the house knows we’re leaving and is throwing a fit. Yesterday I bought sheets of polycarbonate twin-wall to replace the 30+ year old poly sheets, and this morning Nick & I were on the roof replacing it. I did a better job of installation, using silicone sealant and bonded washers on the stainless screws. It should last another 30+ years.
I’ve also finished the complete dismantling of the BioDiesel refinery out in the barn (Sorry Bruce!) so now we’re ready to move when I come back from the east coast.
Hopefully the east coast datacenters will be less distracting than my visit to Silicon Valley, where meetings at HQ interrupted my time in the facilities learning the Facebook way of doing things. If so, I should be able to have some time in the evenings to post to the blog here. (sound familiar?)
OK car geeks… where was the above photo shot?
75mph speed limit!!! nice….
glad to hear FaceBook is going well… hope the house shift goes smoothly…

Where else?
MONTANA!
“I should like to move to Montana:” quote from what movie?
Actually, this was not shot in Montana. You can always tell MT speed limit signs as they have different ones for night time driving. Guess again.
Google tells me North Dakota from the signpost info… highway 94 traveling west I believe…

Indeed. Leave it to the guy from the antipodes to answer the question!
Ok, so I’m bored. Near as I can tell this should be on I-94 north of Glen Ulin, North Dakota. Google street view fails to turn up this location though. There is a sign here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Richardton,+North+Dakota&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=56.637293,84.199219&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Richardton,+Stark,+North+Dakota&ll=46.840937,-101.848068&spn=0.087596,0.328903&t=p&z=12&layer=c&cbll=46.861986,-101.841924&panoid=JKiHHc_yvVNAMmfrbt4Jgg&cbp=11,308.75,,0,14.86
That looks promising but there is no speed limit sign in front of it…
Ah, indeed! I’d forgotten the speed limit signs! I don’t drive through Montana, much!
