Well it is just a short drive from Huntington Beach to Anaheim, and all that Disney fun, and fine examples of classic vehicles John loves BTW, I was almost tempted to rework my original image in this post to crop, remove reflection, and blur the background, and then I remembered who prompted that thought bubble. -- Regards, Savageduck

It must have been a long time since you have been there, if you were ever there at all. Actually, a trip to Disney would not hurt you, it is indeed fun, and fun is definitely something you seem to need. It appears that you are taking everything way too serious.

Now that was sarcasm, but I quess you missed it. > It must have been a long time since you have been there, if you were > ever there at all. Been there, done that. That was a long time ago, I didn't buy the Tee-shirt, or the ears. That was only because an overseas visitor wanted the experience. From my point of view, money wasted, a perfect example of ugly American artificiality and corporate greed. I am not impressed with, and I don't like what Disneyland/World is selling. Give me the National Parks, Yosemite, Zion, Sequoia-Kings Canyon, the Redwoods, Adirondacks, Death Valley, or Big Sur for real "fun" and America. ....but that is not you is it? > Actually, a trip to Disney would not hurt you, it is indeed fun, and > fun is definitely something you seem to need.

I have had my fill of serious ....and I don't have to regress to some sort of 8 year old, or support an organization like Disney to have fun. -- Regards, Savageduck
