<p>Sometimes the drive from Lakeside to Julian is real boring. Like in the late afternoon clog-up.</p>
<p>Sometimes my brain backfires badly and I go into an altered state of consciousness whereby the pukey present melts down into a panorama of a pastoral past. Suddenly Route 78 becomes the Ortega ranch road again, all the way past Santa Ysabel.</p>
