bakersfield photos

i went down to l.a. and back last weekend. we stopped in bakersfield to eat on both trips. while there, i saw two choice things that needed to be documented.

this is one classy truck. it's so classy, it's got a painting of itself at the lake.



and ladies!



read this sign carefully.



wait, what's not working?


i don't blame bakersfield for these photos. but i did enjoy them

i guess i'm sort of bakersfield famous

in other news, my blog post about seeing the homeland security bus got picked up by bakersfield.com, which it seems is a part of the bakersfield californian (their version o' the bee).

what's funny is that the comment thread spiraled out crazy about potential terrorist targets, repubs vs dems regarding terrorism, and other randomness.

visit to bakersfield

so, yesterday i rode the train down to bakersfield with two friends. we played cards the whole train ride, and even saw some weird stuff that one of them might blog about. why'd we go? well, my buddy needed to pick up his car from the shop. it's a super fly ride, and we had a blast driving around bakersfield in the 59 belvedere, and rolling back to fresno today. it's always fun when you're in a car that makes everyone stop and look, and not because you're obnoxiously loud or driving like a maniac. this thing has style.

anyway, we went out for the evening in downtown bakos, and hit some decent little spots. it's not home, but it was nice. while we were driving, i saw this:



okay, it's not a great photo, and all you can probably tell is that it's a bus. but the kind of bus is the crazy thing. it's a homeland security bus. huh? i didn't realize bakos was a potential target or a terrorist hotbed. i guess they need the swat style homeland security bus rolling through downtown bakersfield @ 10:30 pm.
