Fairs and guns

SDAI-Tech1 — 4/1/2002 6:00:47 PM (archived)

In parts of east san Diego during the mid-1980's, before CA legislation was passed making certain mods illegal - every time one drove down the street one saw a monster truck rally. ;-)

On my dad's side of the family back a generation - a lot of hunters. I never quite took to that pasttime. Grew up around deer heads and eating bambi's mom (venison) on more than one occasion. Also, I learned that drinking hunters are a dangerous lot to be around.

Guns as sport never quite passed muster with me, either. I guess I see them as a necessary evil - a killing tool. Yeah, we had a "collectors" revolutionary war musket - until it literally disintegrated with age.

San Diego and Newport Beach Concours D'Elegances, New car shows, The Frankfurt Book Fair, The Del Mar state fair, the WNSA book sales, The Pageant of the Masters, The Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson collector car auctions...these are about as fair-ish as my travels get.
;-)

Oh yeah...and a onetime visit to the San Diego Comic-con. An unusual and entertaining experience not to be missed by the young and the young-at-heart.
