"Dixie"というベイエリアの学区の名前を巡っての騒動は前書いたけど、
正式に名称変更が（今の所）否決。
A majority of board members said they supported changing the name, but that the process seemed rushed and needed more community input

んで、前書いた時はディキシーランド・ジャズやWinn-Dixieを思い出したけど、今日はなぜかDixie Highway。これ、フロリダのボカラトン時代を思い出すんだよね。ちなみにこんな道路網。
ボカラトンあたりは海沿いの一号線沿い、線路に沿った道路。
で思い出すのがやっぱりWeather Reportの"Barbary Coast"って前も書いたな。
ジャコパスの伝記から引用。
"Barbary Coast" opens with the sound of a train roaring along a railroad track, its horn blasts fading into the distance. This sound is much more than atmospheric filter; it resonates with deep meaning for anyone who grew up in Fort Lauderdale near the tracks that run alongside Dixie Highway. As a kid, Jaco would oftern wander along those tracks for miles, dreaming of places he might visit one day. (Those same tracks run past the Kalis Funeral Home in Fort Lauderdale, the site of Jaco's wake on September 24, 1987.)
うう、泣けてくる…
