Conversations while driving February 17, 2017, 03:29:55 pm Forever on the lookout for other LD's, my kids and I always point them out to each other. (And often visit other LD's owners when we see a LD at our campground).This conversation was had between me and my 10 year old yesterday, while driving around San Diego... 10yo: Mom there's a Lazy Daze, on the port sideme: I see. It looks like the one we saw earlier today10yo: It's definitely NOT the same as the one we saw earlierme: Oh, yea, I guess you are right. That one looks like a baby blue color, and the one earlier was more of a teal color10yo: Mom. That is a rear bath...the one earlier was not a rear bath. me: Clearly, he's looking at things on a whole different level than I am. 6 Likes

Re: Conversations while driving Reply #2 – February 17, 2017, 06:56:06 pm When we were kids we took many road trips in the family station wagon. Being the youngest of four kids, I was always amazed at my older brothers (4 years my senior) ability to differentiate between vehicle make, model and year. I'm pretty good at telling one LD from another but cars still puzzle me. Unless of course it's a '70 GTO. Then I'm all over it. Kent 2 Likes

Yea, we use marine terminology, because when we are driving, not everyone is facing the same direction. ;-)

When I was a kid my dad explained why neighbor had red & green lights (instead of yellow bug lights) by his front door. Now I know what LDy Lulubelle is (since she's teal). Lynne

All of y'all in the west have been in my prayers...that Oroville Dam looked especially scary--there was devastation throughout the Missouri-Mississippi valleys with the Flood of '93, but at least I was & am on high ground (if it gets to me, it's time for an Ark).
