September. The tail end of summer and the start of fall. Leaves should be falling, but here in Southern California we’re facing the possibility of the tail end of a hurricane that is blowing up from Baja. Of course, that will be followed by more Santa Ana winds and fires. Will Big Sur stay open for the October roadmeet? I don’t know, and I don’t follow the prediction markets. But I do follow the headlines.<\/p>\n

The following episodes have been posted this month:<\/p>\n As a reminder: One of the sources for the highway page updates (and the raison d’etre<\/em> for for this post) are headlines about California Highways that I’ve seen over the last month. I collect them in this post, which serves as fodder for the updates to my California Highways site<\/a>, and 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 Well, you should now be up to date. Here are the headlines that I found about California’s highways for August 2026:<\/p>\n [\u0126<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Historical information |\u00a0\uff04<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Paywalls,\u00a0\uff04\uff04<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>really obnoxious paywalls, and\u00a0\u2205<\/strong><\/span> other annoying restrictions, such as demanding your email in order to display the article. I\u2019m no longer going to list the paper names, as I\u2019m including them in the headlines now. Note: For \uff04<\/strong><\/span> paywalls, sometimes the only way is incognito mode, grabbing the text before the paywall shows, and pasting into an editor. Using archive.ph<\/a> usually works for these sites. See this article<\/a> for more tips on bypassing paywalls. \uff04\uff04<\/span><\/strong> paywalls are even more annoying. Archive.ph<\/a> doesn’t work, and you may not be able to get the full details. 🎥 indicates a primarily video article. 🎩 indicates hat\/tip to someone for finding this article. ✔ indicates that the article was processed as part of the recent “Updates to California Highways” cycle. ]<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"California](\"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/logo.jpg\"){kind=logo}
As always, we start with the California Highways: Route by Route<\/a> podcast: I’m still working on Season 5: I just finished writing the second Route 18 episode (5.07). I’ll be taking a break to do the next round of updates for the website, and then get back to writing. We’ll be starting to record Season 5 next week, so look for the first Season 5 episode in mid to late September. Zencaster<\/a> is working well for recording the podcast, and I think we’ve solved the microphone problems. I also got some more editing tips visiting a high school friend who has worked in terrestrial and internet radio, which I’ll try when I edit Season 5. Please let us know if it sounds better.<\/p>\n\n
