It's Just So Wrong

As my bank account got replenished today, I did some shopping at Wal Mart in Palm Springs and Costco in Palm Desert.  To get from Wal Mart to Costco, you go down Dinah Shore Drive.

I was driving a Honda.

If I am driving down Dinah Shore Drive,  I expect to hum, "So make a date today, and see the USA, and see it in a Chevrolet!" instead of, "Follow the leader.  He drives a Honda."

But this misadventure also reminds me of two things that entertain me about the area.  First, I am in the land where we have Dinah Shore Dr.,  Bob Hope Dr., Kirk Douglas Way, Gene Autry, Tr., and other streets named after figures from Hollywood's past.  In one way, it's campy.  In another way it's cool.

The other thing is that in Mid Century Modern Palm Springs, there are people who drive cars of the same era as daily drivers.  In most cases, the cars are well cared for and the owners love to receive complements.  I am thinking of doing the same thing, but I will make sure they did the environmentally correct R134a conversion for the air conditioner.

What did you expect? we are in California.
