The Week In Review

It kinda bummed me out that I didn't capture a photo of a license plate yesterday. It was pretty strange, especially for the vehicle it was on. Since it wasn't photographed clearly, I can't post it without there being conjecture or argument that it's not what I claim it to be.

With that said;

VIDEO MOTION SICKNESS

Oooh, yeah. This one SUCKS. It sucks for all the right reasons, though. I was given a raw video taken back in 1993 of Magic Landing, with all of its rides intact and taped up. The look at the park was stunning, the rides in their original locations, the paint, the plants- definitely not the weather beaten grouping of shacks and shapes that once resembled an amusement park. There was one problem with the video, it looks like a spastic chihuahua with a camera on its head took the picture in a hurricaine.

Its interesting that the park still had all of its furnishings and props standing. It indeed looked as if the park wanted to reopen at some point. Knowing what I do now, it was apparent that that was never to be.

It haunting to look at. The image quality is pretty good for its age and the sound of the wind blowing thru the trees gives it that air of real that didn't exist when I visited the site 2 years ago. The video was a major find, I can't wait to use it on the Magic Landing site.

TACKY CAR ART

This used to be a staple of Ford Econoline Conversion vans of the 1970-90 models. The spare tire cover disgracefully adorned in art, usually dictated by the region of the country of origin. Four-wheel-drive vehicles are also not immune to this, Jeeps also fall victim to this problem, especially in wooded areas where hunting is so prevalent, backwoods retards shoot at anything (real or cheaply printed) that has antlers and moves.

So what do you do when you don't have a spare tire cover on your precious Ford pickup?



You heinously paint your tailgate.

Now, call me crazy, but I don't think this is the way to spell Patty.



I hope they got their money back.

I've got more, but I need to get something to eat before I head out to work.

-and get some Dramamine!
