We are in Hemet, California. We drove 10 and a half hours to get here trying a new route to avoid the crazy Friday LA traffic. We drove through the Mojave! On a map it looks a bit longer but when you take the crazy traffic we have experienced over the past 7 years coming down here it saved a bunch of time.
As usual the California Highways were teeming with SS Guards (AKA CHP). Saw nine in all and all had some poor soul pulled over...none will get a way with a warning....The Dems in Sacramento need the cash. I must confess that I have been harboring a lot of anger towards the CHP since they ticketed me for a nonsense infraction last week. That and every single CHP I have met whether in the process of being ticketed or in a social context when they work the CHP booths at fairs, or are used as security at fairs have always been snobbish jerks. Once, at a fair in NorCal, one was even a jerk to my kids when they asked for a CHP badge sticker at a fair. He acted as though they were a bother...and if you know my kids that's one word never used to describe them. I think that was the kernel of my disdain for the SS! (SS here is used to imply the CHP are similar to the Nazi SS...they use the power of the gun to get away with being jerks. By that I mean, if a person is a jerk to you, you might respond with a verbal or physical retort. But since they wear the gun you don't. Basically that gun scares you from responding and they know it. ) I should mention that being afraid of the police when you are a law abiding citizen is not a good thing and is a step toward tyranny.....reason number 2 for leaving Cali.
OK...rant over.
The drive was uneventful. Once we were within range of the KFI radio signal we tuned in to the LA based radio station and enjoyed the John and Ken show and then our all time favorite radio personality, Tim Conway Jr. He is the son of comedian Tim Conway. His show is great. Him being a conservative is nice but not the only reason we enjoy him. His jokes, his outlook, his wit, his interactions, the whole package is fabulous. We laugh our butts off listening to him. He really helps make the now boring drive to SoCal go by so much quicker.
Our suite at the hotel is really pretty nice. The beds are like rocks so I anticipate a stiff morning tomorrow. Oh, yeah, and the showers were built for Munchkins....my belly button got a nice shower, though.
Though we had a good sized lunch at Mikey-D's and enjoyed the sandwiches my wife made for dinner we wer a bit hunger and thirsty when we arrived. Fortunately there is a Starbucks across the street...I say fortunately even though I don't like there coffee because we could've been out of luck with nothing across the street. So I went over and stocked up on artsy fizzy fruit like water like drinks, Ethos Water, Organic chocolate milk, scones, coffee cake, and oat bars and brought the libations and snacks back to the hotel. Since we were hungry and thirsty the exotically bland flavors of the artsy foods and drink were well received by our pallets.
With that I come to right now. Technology is great. Not only can I zip off a blog and you can read it the moment I push "post" I also can get emails from clients who want to book. And that's what happened tonight with another December booking. yeah!
