Good Morning

My "new" car is working out well, thank goodness.  Although it does have, as mentioned before, a working cd player and cassette player - the windows do not have tinting.  No I am not gansta as suggested by a friend, it is just a necessity out here to have tinted windows.  My sisters said they would pay for it for my birthday so I went down on Sunday morning to get it done.  Oddly enough my friend and two of her friends just had theirs done so they recommended the place that I went to.  It was just a couple towns away in a town called Vista.  Although Vista is close by, I do not go there often.  I just wanted the back half of my car done as that is what I had in my other car and it helped greatly.  Plus it is illegal to have the front half done although it seems like everyone does.  It was going to take about 2 hours and so I went for a walk.  

During my walk I found all sorts of great stuff.  The first and most impressive was a Victorian house!  Those are a big deal to me out here as there are not nearly as many here as there are back east so coming across one is always a treat.  It was in muted colors but still pretty.  I think it may be being used as an office but I could not tell for what kind of company.  It was in fantastic condition too which made me happy to see it still alive, functional and being cared for.  

I then came across a really funky place that looked a lot less out of place than the Victorian.  It kinda looked like an old school house and was Mission style.  I could tell it was still being used but again I could not tell as what.  My favorite part was the bell and weather vane at the top.  I stared at that for ages.  I am not sure how they ring the bell or if they even still do but it looked to be in great condition so I was hoping they do still ring it.  If it rang while I was staring at it then I probably would have crapped my pants in delight.

After eating a super yummy spinach omelette (which I did not take a picture of) on a shady outdoor patio at a restaurant, I thought found some art!  Oh I love coming across art -- so makes my day.  This was an electrical box that was painted to look much more appealing than the standard solid industrial green they are normally colored.  Perhaps not are worthy of the Louvre but I still loved it.  I wonder if when the artist goes past it while driving on that busy road, if they think, "Ohhhh there is my art!".  I certainly hope they do.

My windows came out awesome and it will make a huge difference.  The guys at the shop were super nice and I thought the pricing was very reasonable, especially since they come with a three year warranty.  Tinting is a terrific present too as I will use it every single day :)  All in all a terrific Sunday morning over there in Vista.  I certainly must come again.
