Biking on Venice boardwalk, 9/07

Today I was biking home on the Venice boardwalk, after having a delicious meal with a delicious friend who grew up in Portland and went to school on the east coast. I couldn’t help but grin.

FasTrak vs. E-ZPass

bicoastal November 13th, 2006

The names of the west and east coast electronic toll collection system are really torquing my mind. In California they call it “FasTrak.” But that’s an east coast name. On the east coast (Virginia-Maine) they call it “E-ZPass.” But that’s a west coast name. Why are these traffic agencies fronting? (And why purple?)
