Observations From The Back Seat

I was observing in-car lessons at work today, so I spent most of the day in the back seat of a car. And although I spent most of the time observing how the student was doing and the instructor interacting with the student - there were some other things outside the car that I observed - here are just a few...

First of all - there were these two Morman kids - not necessarily an odd sight - I see them around my neck of the woods all the time. I see them walking or riding their bikes - but today... I saw them... get into a car! I don't think I've ever seen that before! Fascinating... Times are a changing!

Second - I got to see Disneyland - twice! Once from the freeway during the day - but the second time was even more exciting - I know, I know - you're thinking crazy - but if you know me at all you know that I prefer Freak - as someone once told me - there is medication for crazy! Anywho... It was after 5pm so we were driving around at night and as we were traveling up Euclid, we passed Katella - so I had to look over and see if I could see Disneyland from there - and I could - actually it was California Adventure - but I'll take it - I could see the top of the Maliboomer and even better - the Ferris Wheel! Then as we continued up Euclid I could see the lights on the top of the Disneyland Hotel! Such excitement!

I noticed as we were driving around, though, that not many people had Christmas lights up - either that or they hadn't turned them on yet - I have to admit, though - I'm debating whether I'm going to get any lights up this year - we'll see.

But the best part of the trip - was during the evening drive when I looked over and there was Mr. Moon - all bright and shiny in all his fullness! Actually, according to my calendar - he isn't full until tomorrow night - be he was looking mighty sharp tonight - so if you do anything this week - get outside one night and enjoy the moon!
