Snapshots From Along the Way Posted October 3, 2021 kevinshanna In the tradition of insta-kev, here are a few stray photos from this weekend. They told me to pick any car from row 3… sadly, this wasn’t in any row. But wouldn’t it be nice if all rental cars came with a giant bow on them? It would help alleviate the ridiculously inflated covid-price gouging and the waste of time at the rental car counter. From Vegas to Utah, there’s a short section in Arizona… and the bridge is currently under construction, bringing traffic to a one-lane standstill. How nice of them to have an app that essentially says, “yeah, you’re screwed.” They were offering free posters for the event. I used to grab all the freebies but honestly what was I going to do with more stuff? I’m already overwhelmed with hoarder hoardings so I opted to just snap a pic. It’s a decent poster I suppose but I didn’t need to hang it anywhere, ya know? This poster however I may have put on the wall. I don’t know if it’s a trick of the light or embers from the morning bonfires, but I’m rocking a salt and pepper hairstyle here. I suppose it could just be the grays are coming in strong. From early in the race — a no passing sign which sadly far too many runners ignored, choosing to blow past me, a huffing and puffing and walking mess. Jerks. This was supposed to be a snapshot of my time at the halfway point… but it looks like I really wanted a pic of this guy exiting the portajohn. That’s not creepy at all. In Florida there’s a bitter rivalry between two barricade companies — Bob’s Barricades and Acme Barricades. I should note there is no BOB behind Bob’s Barricades. It’s a made up name, like Haagen Das or Bartles and James. But I found myself wondering if there is a similar gang war a brewin’ here in Utah over signage and barricades. Might make a good movie. Sometimes the victory is just getting to the finish line. This was one of those races. Interestingly, while anything goes in Vegas and what happens here, yadda-yadda… you apparently can’t openly smoke marijuana. Airport robbery — $4.19 for a Diet Coke… plus tax. What is this, Burbank?! There’s a software enhanced 64MP camera feature on my phone… so here’s a supposedly super detailed shot of the Los Angeles cityscape taken during our descent into LAX.
