You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Crazy Fred! It’s 9 am on a Saturday morning. I am scheduled to pick up a car at Enterprise Rental Car for my drive to Carmel. I’m picking up the car in sleepy Camarillo, a city north of L.A. The doors open at 9 am. I […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The romance of the train. Is it romantic? You be the judge I’m riding an Amtrak Train from San Diego to Ventura County. So far the station leaves much to be desired. It is little more than a concrete and wood refrigerator box with no protection, […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Taking the train. It’s romantic. It’s Nostalgic. It’s how America was forged from Atlantic to Pacific. When I think of the train, I think of immigrants toiling in the blistering sun of the new American West laying down tracks, dying where they work so that some […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Way cool Jr. “Way Cool Jr.” is Ratt Song. No, not a song sung by a rat, but a song sung by an 80’s glam rock group that smoked enough “rope” to name themselves Ratt. Ratt? Only in rock and roll would you name yourself after […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Jack and Coke on an empty stomach. It’s like flying a kite in a hurricane. It’s like skate boarding over land mines. It’s like throwing darts with a blind man. My best buddy in California picks me up at 1 pm at the San Diego Airport. […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Boating with Dolphins! Ocean fish are prehistoric monsters that have not changed in millions of years. Bulging eyes, scaly bodies, bony exoskeletons. When Hollywood is thinking new movie monster, you have no farther to look than the mighty ocean for inspiration. Then there is the dolphin. […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Jabba the Hut. After a lengthy ordeal of security check points and xray machines, I am finally situated. My bags are stowed above me. My seat belt is fastened low and securely across my lap. My tray table is in its full and locked position. I’m […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The absurdity of the TSA. They are burger flippers with badges, inept as the Mexican Navy, worthless like turkey stuffing the day after thanksgiving. I have just wasted a good portion of my Saturday morning waiting in a line so that a TSA moron on a […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Security Lines at the Airport. It’s 8 am Saturday morning. Me and just about anybody else with a pulse in Nashville is at the airport trying to get away for this long holiday weekend. The curbside check in is a mob scene. Cars are pulling in […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Area 51 For 60 years it has been the stuff of legends. It is America’s X files. It’s secret experiments and UFO’s and aliens kept in big vats of liquid goo. Area 51 is the Mother of all conspiracy theories. For most of modern times, the […]
