Hotel/Motel Me More: Husband and Wife Lodging Blogging Duo Always A Delight

His site is called MOTEL ME MORE, and centers on the scruffier world of motels, low-nutrition food, roadside phenomena, and his life growing up in a Travelodge.  Again, click the logo to pay a visit:



If you read them regularly, they invite you to be their Max!  (That Hart-To-Hart reference, probably came too late in the post and the current century for most readers to remember --  apologies.)

Peter Richardson's Blog

It was a really pleasant surprise last week when San Francisco-based author and history professor Peter Richardson left a nice comment on my Hell's Angels post.  He found this blog because I mentioned the former Nation editor and California historian and social critic par excellence Carey McWilliams.  Turns out, Richardson is McWilliams' biographer, having recently written the excellent American Prophet.  Richardson's current project is a book about Ramparts magazine -- a 60's and 70's "new left" legend. 

So if you're a fan of California history, great political journalism, or just looking for an intelligent addition to your blog digest, I commend to you Peter Richardson's blog.  Check it out!
