At the Renegade Craft Fair in SF this weekend, we found a vendor selling necklaces where you can select your favorite assortment of (SoCal-only) freeways.



On her site, you can select the usual suspects (10, 101, 405) along with the increasingly obscure (126, 38, and even unsigned 187). She's reportedly expanding into SF-area freeways (like "the 80", "the 580"... she's going to need to code-switch for regions outside LA) and NYC, where she currently offers subway line tags.

I have no relation to this seller, but like the idea.
My first SF/horror short story collection is available: "Young Man, Open Your Winter Eye"

I can't even explain the under-appreciation my wife would have for this.

I picked up a pair of Route 66 Earrings as a doorprize at the 66 Festival in Joplin.

Heh. If I bought my wife something like that, she wouldn't speak to me for quite some time. She'd tell all her friends, too.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

Many hours after my previous comment, I showed my wife the photo above. I got yelled at.

Aww, that makes me sad. I tried to think of this scenario with a different hobby that Mike likes exclusively, and a good example is ham radio. Mike really enjoys it, and it's something that he's exposed me to a little bit. I'd like to get my amateur radio license, but I don't think it is something I'd do without him. So if Mike got me a necklace with the ham/CB club logo on it, or a necklace with a radio, I'd wear it. It wouldn't be a piece of jewelry in heavy rotation, but I'd wear it from time to time.

I accept and respect your identity as long as it's not dumb shit like "identifying as a vaccinated attack helicopter".

I think her reaction seemed to be premised on the idea that I might actually get her something like that (no way, I know better!).
