RE: Mrs. Orcutt's driveway...
Crap & Drivel (tm) showed pics of it a couple of times, it appeared to
be in tumbleweed/cactus country, with *big* mountains in the background,
and cars attempting to violate the laws of physics in the foreground.
Being from God's Country (otherwise known as the People's Republic of
Massachusetts), hence unfamiliar with Hell Ay, I couldn't comment on how
close it might be to that august city.
