John Galt return address
I just got an ad for a mail order steak company, and thought it must be a joke of some sort. The address was John Galt Blvd, Omaha NE!
So I looked it up, and yep, Omaha does indeed have a John Galt Blvd. In the process, I found roads in several other places named for JG as well. Maybe there are more of "us" out there than I thought!

Who is John Galt?
PS: I could NOT RESIST... Obviously!
Made me consider putting in another order, but I wasn't overly impressed with the last one.
We'll see what he says...
If you tried to get them to meetup... Would they attend or go on Strike?

"John Galt Boulevard was named in the early 1970s by Ron Abboud, a real estate
developer who once owned land where the street connects 108th Street to Q Street. His
favorite book was Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. “Who is John Galt?” is the opening line
and Galt is the hero in the Rand classic, which extols economic individualism and self-‐
interest, and foresees the decline of “men of the mind” and the end of civilization.

I had to look up Zzyzx Road. I may have to check it out - I'm doing the western half of Route 66 next year, so I won't be too far away.
Honestly, what I have learned over the years is that I am perceived as MUCH more intelligent when I let other people decide how smart I am, instead of me telling them.
Kind of like as long as I have my clothes on, I look marginally decent. The minute those come off, uh oh! My thought would be you would be better off to put those "clothes" back on.
But that's just dumb little me. Go on wif yo' bad self.
Second, I actively have avoided over time, without realizing it, reading your posts and/or comments. This is the first one I've actually paid attention to. And now I know why. It's that I actively work hard to NOT respond to silliness.
Hence, I'm gone. Have the day you deserve.
