They changed the text on the web in a way that suggests that they are referring to Route 74, which is still confusing, since it looks to be nowhere near where the couple lives, and also seems to be a pretty minor road rather than a high-speed highway. Oh, well. The dogs are super cute.

"Fresh Air" and its archives don't get called "a national treasure" often enough. Here, Terry Gross plays for Rob Reiner a 35-year-old clip of Carl — which Rob apparently hasn't heard before — talking to her about watching a rough cut of "When Harry Met Sally"…

If you live near these places, go meet Gary — he is charming, and funny, and friendly, and very nice. And if you don’t live near them, you can travel to one and listen to the audiobook on the way. It’s a perfect length to make for a nice day trip.
Folks, a massive fall Vera tour is on its way!!!! More readings in the winter.
