16 miles of most of my rides are like this (8 miles each way), though part of it has houses. 2 stop signs in 8 miles, and Southbound, no cross streets.
Cars are usually going between 50 and 70, though. But there's not THAT much traffic since it runs parallel to a freeway. Plus, for 6 miles of it, nobody lives there.
EDIT: This was in the Spring. Now it's all brown and highly flammable.

I don't understand how there can be cross streets northbound, but not southbound.

Ducks are northern conference, Devils are southern, so they only meet once per year on average.

Hoo boy. I just pulled up the "notes" from the appointment on the patient portal, from the nurse:
Reality: I go in and see yet another new nurse. This one is literally new to the group--she's not even on the website. I googled her and didn't find much, but I don't think she was in rheumatology before.
She comes in and asks these general questions because she's never seen me before. No idea what my arthritis is like. She gets my dosage wrong. Asks me if I want more MTX (even though I'm pretty sure I'm taking the maximum recommended amount). Asks if I exercise (SMH). When I tell her the drug effects don't last the full six weeks she asks me if I want to switch to something else. Am I a doctor? Why am I here?
I was planning on asking this anyway, but the appointment painfully illustrated the problem. So I ask "wut is going on here? Why have I not seen the actual doctor in a year? Why do I keep seeing new people every time? When there's no continuity of care I waste most of the appointment time rehashing all the basic stuff."
She tried to tell me that whoever saw me would be asking the same questions anyway.
"Do you exercise?" SMH
Anyway, after my complaining the doctor came into the infusion room, looked at my joints for a minute, and kind of apologized that I hadn't seen him earlier this year. He tried to blame it on COVID.
I'm still not going to see him until January.
I spent greater than 30 minutes with 50% face to face discussing treatment plan along with risks vs benefits along with critical decision making, reviewing labs, data, diagnostics and all pertinent information related to patient’s diagnosis.

In other PAC-12 news, UofA coach has the rona now. Guess that will make practices a little different.

Woke up at 3 a.m. and didn't get much quality sleep thereafter. Guess who's going to be crashing this afternoon.

We did not sleep so well last night either. With the colder weather, we had a mouse in the house. Jackie went crazy chasing it but seemed to want to play with it rather than kill it. She chased around all night long and kept me up most of the night. Somehow she finally got the mouse as it was left next to the bed in the morning. Poor little mousie, I feel a little bad for him, I didn't really want him dead but just to stay out of the house.

We had a couple great mousers over the years but our last cat, a pure-bred couldn't care less.
