I didn't drive this year on SWAT Tour nearly as much as I did last year. I had a lot of time to think while riding on the bus. When my mind kicks into gear, some pretty bizarre things bounce around in there. Sometimes they even come out! Here are some random meanderings from last week.
Saw a sign in Fernandina Beach, Florida that said "Eat more Natural Foods". Something's wrong with that picture. Last time I checked, there are a lot of people who die from "natural causes". Excuse me, but I think I'll skip the natural foods, if you don't mind.
While trying to cross a busy crosswalk intersection in downtown Inverness, Florida, I learned that there are only two types of pedestrians..... the quick and the dead.
Our musical was called "THE BASICS OF LIFE". One thing about life that we didn't add into the script, but it makes sense to me: Life is sexually transmitted.
It was awesome watching Tinkerbell fly out of the castle at DisneyWorld. She looked like a big green UFO. Speaking of UFO's, have you noticed that almost everyone has a camcorder or a cell phone with a camcorder these days? So, how come no one talks anymore about seeing all these "UFO"'s like we used to hear about?
We did a LOT of walking while on SWAT Tour. I can tell I'm getting older and my body is writing checks I can't cash like I could when I was in my 20's or 30's. Every now and then I'd start feeling a little blue..... then I'd start breathing again.
We seriously thought about adding an "E" to our name, changing it from "SWAT" to "SWEAT." It was forevermore HOT this past week! Still, no one seemed to complain. Even if they did, what good would it do? We could all learn a lesson from the weather. It pays absolutely NO ATTENTION to it's critics!
Saw some strange people walking around Disney. Why is it that back in the 60's people were taking acid to make the world look weird. Now the world IS weird, and people are taking Prozac now to try to make it seem normal. Go figure.
Figure this one out. Why is it that one careless match can start a forest fire. But, whenever I go camping, it takes several books of matches to get my campfire started! So much for that old song we used to sing back in the 70's.... "It only takes a spark to get a fire going..."!
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why did some idiot write a song about him?
I turned 50 in June, so I have my first appointment for a colonoscopy. I really don't like going to the doctor now that I'm older. When you walk into an examination room and you see a garden hose and an air compressor in the corner, you know you're not going to have a good time. Another thing about doctors.... why do they leave the room while you're getting undressed? They're going to see you undressed anyway!
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, where do they get baby oil from?
Any thoughts or answers to some of these random meanderings? My comment page is open!

I miss you and that crazy sense of humor you have. I have enjoyed keeping up with SWAT as your trip progressed. It brought back so many happy...but wild memories!
Love, Lora
