We think it is a "misconfigure" notebook on the network here.  I 
succeeded in deleting the gw route, and 2 minutes later it was back.  
And the network guys confirmed it is not coming from them.  Then I 
remembered I did not have this problem yesterday.  So the current 
thought is someone showed up today and their system is advertising 
something (RA?) that I am picking up.

GRRR.
