Torturous routes.

This reminds me of those daze when they did experiments with spiders. They
dosed them with LSD and took pictures of the webs they wove afterwards. I've
intentionally deleted the end-points. I also sent this to both Qwest and
SPeakEasy over two weeks ago.  These routes are persistent.

Going out

---This starts in Livermore CA

---Gets to San Francisco on the first hop (looks like an overloaded router)

---Plays around on the InterNAP.

---Finally gets to QWest (used to be USworst ... may still be) but still
hasn't left SF

---After playing around in SF, it finally makes it to San Jose (really,
SJC).

---Then goes down to Los Angeles, for some sunshine.

---Where it finally crosses over to AboveNet

---and heads back to San Jose

Coming back seems to be much more intelligent (less drifty);
