While we were in Europe, we hit several major museums, including the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh museum and the Musee D’Orsay. It’s a humbling experience to stand in the presence of masterworks. But what was even more strange was observing the ebb and flow of people as they moved through the museums.

The Getty

Here’s a photo of The Getty, which I visited during a recent trip to L.A. That’s the 405 snaking up the canyon to the right, heading toward Ventura. I still find it interesting the way Californians insert a definite article in front of highways. It’s The 405, not 405. It really struck me when a Californian was talking about a recent trip to Knoxville, when he was on “The I-40.”
