Disneyland...the place where I discovered monorails have horns.

Can you explain what you mean by that? Is there some sort of odd overlay?

The Disneyland monorails have to sound their horns at certain points, that is probably what she means.

I "think" the WDW monorails also have horns, but don't use them as a matter of course--perhaps only for problems to warn the other pilots approaching.

WOO HOO!!! Have FUN!!!

Thank you! I was so excited I pratically skipped in. First ride was PoftC. I was getting really fixated on it. I do feel bad for my friend. She's back at the room with homework. Her online course was more heavy than she was expecting. She'll join me in DTD for dinner later. While I've definitely been enjoying myself, I will be glad to have her with me tomorrow. It's much more fun with a friend.

Hope your new job is going well!

@ajrwdwgirl is correct. And the WDW monorails have them as well, but they don't use them as much. The first time I was here, I was slightly freaked out by the monorail horn. I heard a WDW monorail horn some point later.

For those inquiring about photos...I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have my mom's camera and am taking plenty of photos, so there will be photos. There may even be a trip report.

The bad news is that until I get to my laptop, I have no access to my photos. So there will likely be few photos until I get home. I'm takinf a few with my phone, but not many.

As long as I get photos at some point!

Yep, at 141 pages behind , that kinda' ketchup ain't gonna' happen...for me, anyhoo...!



Now, let's see if I may be able to ketchup from just this morning...

I hope so. I love Mr. Potato Head. I played with him for years.

When my DD was in college I bought her the Mr. Potato Head Halloween edition to harpoon a pumpkin vs a potato.

I really like the Pirate and skeleton

Yes Mickey face would have my first choice and yes they were thinking with their stomachs as usual, the one I got takes just over a cup of batter for each waffle.

Time to plan another trip soon, so they can get it right this time...!!!!!

Time for another I hate winter rant. I went out for my walk and fell on my tushie. Nothing hurts except my ego but what exactly is freezing fog? I'm having a hard time finding anything good about winter. Rant over.

Ouch! And you do not have much padding down there woman! Hope no bruising.

Yah, it's not the best thing for the environment. We have a (small) nature area not far from where I live, and they really reduce the salt on the roads near the water. (Signs are posted that it is a low salt area and to reduce speed by cars.)

However, salt on roads and sidewalks, steps, etc. can reduce slip and fall injuries, and also save motorists' lives on the roads and highways. Ice can be extremely dangerous, so I have no problem with them using salt in winter.

They use sand here, but, I don't think I've seen it used on anything other than bridges and overpasses, so I don't think it has any appreciable affect on any greenery, or any other environmental impact of consequence.
Plus, it's used/needed so rarely down here.

And a rug for @MinnieM123

Oh my! Sympathy like.
Hope any soreness is minimal.

Top of the morning, everyone (at least my American friends). Work week starts today for me. Anyone with big plans for this week? Or is everyone recovering from the Holidays? LOL!

Yep, it was back to the salt mines for me again today, too.
All the "big" plans happened over the Holidays...!
Hope ya' had a great day at work.

They need to invent cars that can grip on ice :O

As opposed to ice that grips on cars...?!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

going to have to eat a lot of salad to recover from the barrage of food of the holidays.

Hahaaa...!
Same here, but, when I walked into the office this mornin', the kitchen counter was covered in leftover treats coworkers brought in from the Holidays... and there were twice as many as soon as everyone had finally rolled in...!!!
