I-10 is not near Monterey

I stopped short when reading about the motorists trying to pick up money that was spilling out onto Interstate 10. The basic premise of the story, the money spilling, is true. But the incident did not happen in Monterey, California. It happened in Monterey Park, California. Interstate 10 runs nowhere near Monterey. We'll forgive the UK Press Association, since they don't live here. After all, many of us who do live in California still mix up the towns of Maricopa and Mariposa.

Quote Of The Moment
Small kindnesses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments.
