\"\"We’re halfway through 2024. Whew. I’m tired, aren’t you. And we aren’t into the real craziness of the election yet. But there is good news. We’re past the Westhost<\/a> site transition from cpanel to stackCP.\u00a0 You’re reading this blog, so the main site and the main blog are working. The podcast blog, CARoutebyRoute<\/a>, is also working. The only thing still broken is the RSS feed on the podcast site. It feeds the blog posts, but doesn’t seem to highlight the media files for podcatchers. I think this is a problem with WordPress, not the site transition, and I have a reddit post<\/a> asking about it. The one comment received so far indicating it is possible the RSS feed is being cached, but I’m not sure how to fix that (other than time).<\/p>\n

However, the poor technical support from the time of the transition still sticks in my craw, and I will be exploring transitioning the site to a new provider. It isn’t a rush, as things are already paid for a while, and things are working. Still, suggestions are welcome.<\/p>\n

In any case, it is<\/span> the start of a new month, and that means headlines. For those unfamiliar, this post generally contains headlines about California Highways that I’ve seen over the last month. It also serves as fodder for the updates to my California Highways site<\/a>, so there are also other pages and things I’ve seen that I wanted to remember for the site updates. Lastly, the post also includes some things that I think would be of peripheral interest to my highway-obsessed<\/del> highway-interested<\/span> readers. Speaking of updates to the California Highways site: updates to the California Highways site were posted a few weeks ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what has happened in June? In terms of shows, we had three: Jelly’s Last Jam at the Pasadena Playhouse<\/a> (just closed);\u00a0 A Strange Loop<\/em> at the Ahmanson<\/a> (just closed), Mrs. Doubtfire<\/em> at the Pantages<\/a> (just closed), Come Blow Your Horn <\/em>at Canyon Theatre Guild<\/a> (just closed), and Radium Girls<\/em> at Stage Left Arizona<\/a> (you guessed it… just closed).<\/p>\n

I’m also still looking for opinions on Medicare Advantage plus Medicare Supplement Plans<\/a>: specifically, the Anthem Medicare Plus PPO with Senior Rx Plus Medicare Advantage Plan (as Implemented for Aerospace Retireees: See (1)\u00a0Get to Know Your Group Plan<\/a>; (2)\u00a0Plan Summary<\/a>; (3) last year\u2019s\u00a0Open Enrollment Guide<\/a>) vs. a Medicare Supplement Plan.<\/p>\n

\"California<\/a><\/em>The podcast continues apace. I’m still writing the Season 3 episodes, but we’ve also got some bonus episodes. The first is a two-part interview with Joe Rouse of Caltrans on ExpressLanes, Tolling, and Fastrak. Part 1 is up; Part 2 goes up later in the week. Later in July, we’ll be recording the second bonus episode on auto trails. \u00a0Please tell your friends about the podcast<\/a>, “like”, “\u2665”, or “favorite” it, and give it a rating in your favorite podcatcher. Yes, the sound quality of the episodes does get better — we were learning. As always, you can keep up with the show at the podcast’s forever home at https:\/\/www.caroutebyroute.org<\/a> (once it comes back) , the show’s page on Spotify for Podcasters<\/a>, or you can subscribe through your favorite podcatching app or via the RSS feeds (CARxR<\/a>, Spotify for Podcasters<\/a>) . The following episodes have been posted this month:<\/p>\n
