Love is blind

I was following heidi and mike into niland today. As we approached the intersection of main st and hwy 111, a tractor trailer full of monsters passed us going north. Mike turns north and drove past the now-pulled-over tractor trailer of monsters, which I very clearly see (see photo). Mike drives a short way, pulls over, and I pull alongside him.

"we'll head back the way we came" he says.

"good! " I reply. " I want to get a better picture of the monsters"

they both look puzzled. "monsters?" mike says, with a glance at heidi.

"monsters" I reply with a laugh. "on that tractor trailer. Are you guys blind?"

heidi chuckles, after glancing knowingly at mike. I have not been feeling well, and obviously have a fever to go with my ear infection....."maybe we're not blind, but someones delirious" she laughs.

duh! methinks they should make less moo-eyes at each other, and pay more attention to those subtle oddities on the road......

Those purple dino's where awful cute, but my attention was correctly focused! I likely won't notice the next ones either! Yes, I believe with Katie around, there could be more purple dinos in our future...

Have you ever seen the video test where you are told to concentrate on something and then a large gorilla walks through the frame? The vast majority of people miss the gorilla entirely.

Gorilla? I missed it. I'm positive they said it was a moonwalking bear too. What I notice all the trivial junk and miss the important stuff.

Monsters....nah...I think they are supposed to resemble the cartoon characters from DragonTales (with a catchy little tune btw) At 50, i watch this tiny tv show when i can. Lightens my day every time. Try and find it if you can. These critters bring lightheart and songs
