Color Coded Buses

City Buses lined up to take Commuters Home

I love art and I love things with lots of bright colors in them. Sometimes colors can help us. In the Hospital they have different colored stripes on the floor to help guide you to which department of specialized medicine that you needed. You just kept following the blue, red, yellow or green line till it ended. Now Buses being color coded might be helping those who cant read the sign on the bus and can maybe go by which color it is, providing the same color bus always goes on the same route. Bus is derived from the Latin word "Omnibus" meaning "For All". One of the first bus stations was in Nantes France and the Store was called "Omnes" which is Latin for "All" , so the stores patrons started called the horse drawn carriges that carried lots of passengers, "Omnibuses". After the buses becaome motorized, they were called "Autobuses" Some Buses are called "Coaches" which have reclining seats that are very comfortable and usually a restroom on board. The first known public bus line was in 1662.

Race Weekend

This is what you get after drinking 1 Million gallons of Coca-Cola

I found this in a giant Wheaties Box

I never knew my Toy Cars were Real!

Well here we go again. This Magical Mystical time of the year when traffic jams last for 5 hours and you run out of Sunscreen. What! You forgot the Umbrella? If you don't like the idea of burning to death at the race, you can always come to town and partake of many exciting events, like listening to live music, eating great greasy foods and last but not one bit least, *Guzzling the Sudz!* Cheers! The Weather could not be better. Ninety Nine Degrees and 80% Humidity. I sure hope the guitar amps don't melt. Honestly tho-If you like the race, please enjoy it to your heart's content but don't forget to mosey into town for some NightLife.

Psychedelic Castle

Underground Ink Tattoo Parlor

Talk about Eye-Catching. This is self-advertizing at its best. This old innovative building is located right on a curve and I wonder how many car accidents it must have caused with all the drivers turning their heard to get a better look at such a Day-Glow Monstrosity. Maybe it glows in the dark! A Full Moon would help also. Be great to hold Halloween Parties in. I don't often see many brightly colored buildings in this area. Most are in New Orleans or in Europe so it was refreshing to see this. Not sure if this place helps or hurts property values but being a Tattoo Parlor as it may, I suppose the customers can be a problem especially if they are not happy with their tattoos. I wonder what business this building held before Underground Ink came there? Making cannonballs? :-]

Clowning around with Beauty

Ronald McDonald with Rosequeen and the Runnerups

On Sunday June 3rd 2012, Jackson Michigan held its Rosequeen Parade and Ronald McDonald happened to stop by and pay a visit. I just happened to catch him posing with the Rosequeen and her other contestants. I  never knew Ronald was such a Ladies Man. He even told them the best eyeliner to use that wouldn't smudge. Remember, he must put on his makeup hundreds of times a year, so having a quality brand is imperative to keep one's face from cracking up. The Rock Group KISS realized that a good exquisite exotic cosmetic is necessary to save one's skin. Ronald certainly did not forget his core Fans: The kids. He posed many times with the children along the parade to give them a memorable keepsake forever. This Jimio saying: "If you have a local parade near you, check it out. And take a camera!"
