| A trampoline with a safety cage in Pennsylvania. Good idea. I used to wonder about yard trampolines. Your kids will have fun and lots of friends, but they'll all break their necks. Now the little ones who can't make it over the net will survive. Padding on the springs keeps their little necks from getting twisted in the holes too. It took 150 years for someone to invent these improvements |

| "Basin and Range" by John McPhee is all about the geology of I-80. Here's some now! | the mining trucks are gigantic. We're near Chicago. Flying into Midway, this hole is so huge it looks like the planet just drops away. |
They left a narrow wall in the middle for I-80. See the tiny trucks and cars on top? |
Someone's going to invent a sport that can only be played here. They'll build a huge stadium all around the edge. |

| Nevada. I can't feel my legs. | We stopped to see giant folk-art near Imlay. No sign or ads, no staff. We wandered around. It's Thunder Mountain Park. | All houses should look like this. | Powerful art speaks for itself. |

 We helped "Pete" make art. Not his real name of course but "playa name". |
 It takes a masters degree at least to do this stuff. |

1. How's the weather up there? |
By cleverly incorporating a ladder and side wheels into the design, the bicycle answers questions two and three, freeing the rider to expound on the fine weather. |  |
