Are you into normal gossip? Yes. We had more than a thousand miles of driving ahead of us, up and back, with some sightseeing stops, like a visit to the world's second largest light bulb in Menlo Park, New Jersey. The Thomas Edison Memorial Tower is only on at night. It would be cooler to see it lit.
