Exclusive images from behind the Orange Curtain!

Sorry for the anemic posting this week. I seem to have mostly recovered from the horrible disease I had a couple days ago, although I've been warned by lots of people (including Curious Capitalist Jr.) that it will probably recur. And now I'm in Southern California for a family thing (the funeral of a beloved grandmother-in-law, to be specific). So there won't be a whole lotta blog output today either. But I have taken these lovely photos with my Blackberry from the "sun deck" of the Holiday Inn Express in Costa Mesa. Which I can recommend for the surprisingly high quality of its linens. But not for the view.

Update: My Costa Mesan cousin thinks its terribly unfair of me to run two such ugly photos from one of the most beautiful places on the planet. So here's a shot of Blackie's Beach I took last summer:

odograph:

My condolences.

But as a small-world thing, you might be able to see the Arco station where I bought gas this morning, and I headed inland on that FWY this morning.

If you get a chance, a walk down by the old cottages is nice to unwind. (The boondoggle factor in converting improvised cottages to state park accommodations might provide an painful/amusing subtext.)

Justin Fox:

Awww, I could have waved to you!

Felix Salmon:

Can you wave to my in-laws on Missouri Street?

Justin Fox:

I dunno, Felix. I'm told that's on the other side of the freeway.
