Back in the Groove

Up around dawn again this morning. It's Saturday and there is a breakfast at the other end of the park. Grab your plate fork and coffee cup and march down to the other end for pancakes, bacon, eggs over easy with plenty of coffee. They serve from 7:30 till 9. So if you remember what I reported last year, that means people will be in line by 7:15 and it will be done by 8:30. Sure enough, we are walking over around 8 and a dozen people are headed the other way finished already. We get in line, get our meal and start enjoying it at the tables. By 8:20 the line is gone and no one is coming in anymore. Now this is a different park altogether from last year, so it must be pervasive down here. Is it just me that sees this as strange? It's amazing how some people will go park to park for these meals. You can sit at the table and listen to different people critiquing the meals and prices at different parks.

The weather is calm, cloudless skies and 70 degrees today. It feels great. It should be in the 70's for the next few days. Then possibly dip into the upper 60's. I think I'll be able to handle the cool down this time. We've had plenty of training for cool weather on the way down here.

Crazy news this week: Arizona has cameras used to catch speeders at several intersections. Well, one man decided to open his sun roof and stand up in his car to drive down the city streets at 80 miles an hour. So they have footage from several intersections with his head sticking out of the sun roof racing down the road. Well, of course they caught him and he is going to get 14 speeding tickets and some other reckless charges. Sometimes I think the winter weather in the north suppresses some of this goofiness. I know if he had done that up north he would of been unconscious from the cold after a block and plowed into a tree. Would of saved him 13 speeding tickets though.
