Tourist Attractions
I live in a touristy part of the Metro Phoenix area known as Old Town Scottsdale. It's filled with lots of pricey art galleries and Southwest-type souvenirs shops. There are trendy yuppie bars and many statues of horses and the cowboys who ride them. There are odd little specialty stores devoted to various crafts like knitting, needlepoint and "stamping"...whatever the hell that is. There is even a store that sells nothing but Christmas paraphernalia year round.
I think most of the time, I tend to forget Old Town is littered with vacationing guests, until I go to Starbucks. If you just sit outside and sip your beverage you will start to see all the out-of-state license plates and people wandering with little maps.
This afternoon's parade was straight out of John Waters. To the east, a chatty cell phone talking tranny who must have made 10 calls while I was there.
To the west, a couple of white collar, motorcycle riding, Hell's Angels wannabees. I only wish I had a camera so I could have taken a photo of their Barbie Dream Choppers. The real Hell's Angels would have had them for lunch.
There were two bois from Colorado wandering around. Can someone tell me when Izods with the collar flipped up came back into fashion, because I'd like to register as a conscientious objector. I lived through that shit once already. In 1984. It was dumb then. It's dumb now.
And then there are of course the Snowbirds. The Snowbirds migrate to Phoenix during the winter so they can enjoy our snowless mostly balmy weather during the harshest times of there homes in the North and Midwest. They drive really big cars very slowly and usually with a turn signal on constantly. Why they need caffeine, I'm not sure but I hope it doesn't keep them from their 4 PM dinner reservations.


Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds. You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer.
You are Rerun!
