On the Road Again

I know I have been away for awhile, but work has been really hectic. Fortunately, I have a few hilarious stories to share. Driving in California is significantly different from little ol’ Lubbock, Texas. Everyone knows the driving is far more aggressive and the speed a little faster. When we first moved here, I was so terrified to driving on the freeway that I made Chris do most of the driving. Now, I am a seasoned pro (Chris would probably tell you I am still a terrible driver, but I say the same about him).

The things I notice on my one-hour trek from home to work each day are pretty strange. Needless to say, the entire OC/LA area gives me plenty of fodder. Here are a few things I was actually able to capture on camera. Disclaimer: these were taken either at a stop light or when stuck in traffic, so no worries about safety.

1. Have you ever noticed the people who hold signs at the corner of intersections? Well, I found one on his break doing...well, I'm not quite sure what he was doing, but he kept doing it over and over.



2. I know California has more lax rules regarding prescriptions, but really! I guess "Unethical Drugs" is still available for all you entrepreneurs.



3. This one is just plain disturbing. I don't know quite what it means, but it just seems wrong. Maybe I am a snob and expect that to be standard and not noteworthy. Oh, and one last thing, ew.



4. As a girl from Texas, I can appreciate the fact that people love to put animal prints on all different types of products. For instance, Chris has a little bootie that goes over his bowling shoe to keep him from slipping when walking in non-bowling alley areas. It is a lovely cow print (insert laugh here). But I think this takes it a little to far...


5. As a Twilitard, I had to throw this one in there. It's not quite what I would choose for my customized license plate, but to each their own! My question is why would a fifty plus year old man pick that one?
