I'm
away
for a week of summer vacation. Diana
and I are in Williams, Arizona,
a well-known old western town that
is famous for being on America's
historic Route 66 (that
stretched from Chicago to Los
Angeles before there were Interstate
highways) and as the home of the Grand
Canyon Railway.
This
morning we will take the railway
from Williams up to the Grand
Canyon. As much as I have
traveled this will be the first time
I've been there and people have told
me it so grand I should
expect a spiritual experience. Of
course, wherever you go these days, domains
are always close at hand. On Route
66 last night I saw the shop below's
URL emblazoned on the trunk of a
classic Oldsmobile parked in front.
The shop refers to themselves as
"The World Famous"
Addicted to Route 66 Shop. That may
be hyperbole but but thanks to
domain names and the Internet, any
business and anybody can be
world famous!

Getting
my kicks on Route 66
in Williams, Arizona Thursday
evening.

I
like Route 66 so much I decided to
see if I could find the exact term
available for registration at a low
price in any extension. Thanks to Uniregistry
I did, getting Route66.click
for under $5. Now I can get my
clicks on Route 66! :-) It
makes a nice pair since had
picked up GrandCanyon.click
when we were planning our trip and
both domains cost me less than a
coffee mug in one of the Route 66
gift shops.
When
we return to Williams Saturday
afternoon this old steam engine will
be pulling our train back from the
Grand Canyon. We'll be exploring
some more of Arizona for a few more
days, then I'll be back with you
here Wednesday (June 10), refreshed and ready
to see what the ever changing domain
industry has in store for all of us
this summer!
