Abstract

We were driving along America’s femoral artery, the Interstate 10. Our excited car bounded ahead at just above the escape velocity required to break away from the massive cluster of Los Angeles and its satellite cities. Tendrils of strip malls and suburbs emanating from these cities branch out toward the empty desert for miles and miles, and we were nearly out of their grasp.
