That’s right. Hearst cattle, not Castle, although I’ll begin with the latter. During Carol’s and my current expedition to California on behalf of the Library of Congress, she has…
Daily Photo - Hearst Castle in San Simeon Did you know that Hearst Castle is only a few hours north of LA? If you ever end up in LA for a trip, be sure to set aside a few hours for a trip up to see this place. After you get out of the LA city-scape-area, the terrain totally changes - so does the "feeling". Towards the end of the day, all the tourists had left. I had an escort with me for most of the day. This gentleman was a retired LAPD officer who spends a few days per week working up at Hearst Castle. There are several of these guys and gals that help keep the place secure. They take the job pretty seriously, as you would expect from any LAPD-type. After a few hours, I was able to wear them down with humor. I found they responded very well to anti-lawyer humor, btw. So keep that one in mind in case you ever get in a pinch. Everyone there was extremely nice, and I loved the opportunity to capture Hearst as it is meant to be captured. I kept returning to this fountain time and time again -- until the skies and light was just right... Any Problems with New Server? We've recently moved over the entire website to the Rackspace Cloud. This was done because our traffic is growing like crazy, and we wanted things to be nice and speedy for everyone. Also, from time to time, Twitter can cause big surges in traffic that brought the whole thing to a grinding halt. Let me know if you see anything is awry. It's hard for me to test anything, and there are always niggling little problems... Like, for example, I found out that Firefox didn't work because of some silly Facebook code that still broke it even though it was commented out! I'll put together a full review on Rackspace soon enough... along with a whole list of all the backend stuff that keeps the site humming along. I know we have lots of technical people that come to the site, and we all like geeking out about the specs and "how things work"! from the blog www.stuckincustoms.com
