What goes on in my head when I am alone in a car on a long drive: The crack squirrel chronicles… part 1…

img_7635

This morning, at 4:00, I left San Diego. Later, I watched the sun come up from the top of the range of mountains North of LA. Right now, I am at my mom’s house in the Bay Area… and we will get to the reasons for that later.

We all know that I have crack squirrels living inside my head, right? Well, have you ever wondered what it was like to be me on a long, lonely car ride? And I don’t mean an exciting road trip ride on undiscovered highways, or even a familiar but beautiful stretch of road. I mean a long, grueling, 8 or 9 hour trek with very little to look at that I haven’t seen thousands of times, and most of that is boring.

So, just to give you a little insight into the inside of my cranium, I am going to do a series of posts over the next day or two, based on the cryptic little scrawls I jotted down in a notebook… mostly in the dark… while fighting LA traffic.

Now, don’t panic. I won’t do the whole day’s worth of random weirdness that is my lot in life. I stopped taking notes when I took that picture. This is just two hours worth of mental meanderings.

Some are just random thoughts, and some are ideas for actual posts, which I will fill in… or out… before I share them.

This first one is easy… and I am doing these in the order that I thought them up… but, this question popped into my mind:

I wonder if Donald Trump ever had a pair of those ‘truck nuts’ dangling from the rear of one of his limousines?

What’s wrong with this picture? (The answer is way down at the bottom of the post)…

Did you spot it right away?

…ooo000ooo…

Are you still trying to figure out what it is?

…ooo000ooo…

Maybe you need to watch the nature channel more.

…ooo000ooo…

Or the National Geographic channel.

…ooo000ooo…

Or go to the zoo…

…ooo000ooo…

I will give you a few hints.

…ooo000ooo…

I didn’t change the size of anything…

…ooo000ooo…

Or add anything…

…ooo000ooo…

Or take anything away…

…ooo000ooo…

But, if you are color blind, this is a cruel joke, and I sincerely apologize…

…ooo000ooo…

Because this is what a peacock looks like…

Yeah, that actually took me a few weeks to do with the color replacement brush on my new version of Photoshop on my new laptop…

But I kind of think it was worth it.

Wolfgang Puck is Graham Norton… with a fake accent…

If you don’t know who either or both of these people are… well, that’s what Google is for… and you aren’t watching nearly enough TV… but admit it, you have never sen them in the same room at the same time, have you?

City Dreams… part 13… Amsterdam… or, uh, Amsterd?

This is a sketch I drew long ago… well, technically, it is part of a pencil drawing I did, that was too big to fit on the scanner…  of the distinctive buildings of that wonderful city reflected in the iconic canals.

I can’t tell any stories about Amsterdam here… because this is a family friendly blog. I mean, I did once post a story about a little adventure I had there, where I saved a hooker from an armed and abusive pimp… but you are going to have to search for that one yourself.
