Camera Car for Almost Wordless Wednesday

Even though I have lived in Los Angeles for almost 17 years, it was in downtown San Diego a couple weeks ago where I finally got to see a camera car. Apparently, actors can't act and drive for safety reasons, and are often towed adjacent to a car that has an attached boom for the camera. The camera car is also painted a matte black so it can be digitally removed if needed. Pretty cool stuff and I still get star struck, even over autos.


Shameless Blog Cross Promotion Alert

I host every Wednesday at The Motivation Station which is an interactive support blog focused on helping you achieve your goals and hopefully some peace of mind too. Today, I have a fun little post about how astrological signs affect organizational style, please stop on over. Also, the TMS team and I invite you to become a host, whether occasional, guest, or on a regular basis. Please let me know if you would like to share your successes, struggles, tips, and ideas on staying Motivated, no matter what your personal journey holds. Thank you so much.

Neighborhood TV Film Shoot for Almost Wordless Wednesday

It's always great to see the catering trucks and make up trailers set up for filming in our neighborhood.

Observations while driving

These are my observations while driving the highways and streets of Santa Clarita -

People in California can't drive in the rain. They drive too fast, tailgate, and have no clue about how to deal with puddles or skidding. The concept of safe stopping distance is completely alien to the California driver.

I saw a bunch of human skeletons loaded in the back of a truck on the freeway. What would cause alarm and distress in other cities, is just another day of transporting stuff to the film set. I still think it's cool to see all the TV filming nearby. I walked my dog through the local park as the set for the TV show, NCIS, was being "struck" or taken down.

The Department of Motor Vehicles office was closed today, part of the closure of California state offices due to the budget mess. There was a guard posted at the door. Two days a month, state offices are now closed with the employees "furloughed" without pay. Ten percent of their pay to be exact. Their pay from the 6th biggest economy in the world.

What a crazy world.
