First, the closure near the SLO will be back in effect on Monday, Jan. 4th at 8 pm until 5 am, and will continue on that schedule until 5 am on Friday the 8th. That one week project is entering its third week, and may continue the entire month of January. See Cal-Trans page for further details.
Second, reader Paul Saffo pointed me to this one. The USPS announced its new stamps for 2010. Here is one:
The Bixby Creek Bridge stamp, featuring a bridge in California, is the subject of the 2010 Express Mail stamp. The stamp goes on sale Feb. 3.
$18.30 for express mail? Jeez. I certainly won’t be buying this stamp, unless it is to add to my old stamp collection!

Whose initial image is this? I wonder. Not being a stamp collector, I'd rather get a copy, or poster, of the image itself.
The announcement from the post office, carried in the Washington Post did not say. However, in looking at the USPS site, it said this: "This Express Mail stamp features a color digital illustration of Bixby Creek Bridge in California, by Dan Cosgrove of Clarendon Hills, Illinois." Perhaps if you google him, you might find a way to contact him.
Dan's reply to my query:
"I'm glad you like the art. You would have to contact the Post Office about posters,
but as far as I know I don't think they have made it into a poster."
...so the USPS must own the image now. His website displays many of his beautiful commercial graphics. Nothing noted as for sale as reproductions.
Thanks, Sue. I checked out his website, too -- like you say, quite beautiful graphic images.
