It is the little surprises in life that make it interesting. The things you don’t expect. I was going through the Wall Street Journal reading all about how ole Obama is ruining the country and the AIG execs are wanting their retention bonuses (Retention!? Darn let’em go I say. I could go to the plasma center and find people who could lose as much money as AIG has just on the execs regular salaries.) Oh, yeah sorry. Anyway I found out that in California there is a sport called “Amtrak Mooning.”No lie!! It is absolutely true. It even has its own web site. (Note family safe link – there are lots of non family safe links if you want to Google or Bing “Amtrack mooning.”) They have been doing it for 30 years. It is done once a year in Laguna Niguel, California. You show up and when an Amtrak train comes by you moon it. The local tracks have 38 passenger trains a day starting at 7:35 in the morning and ending at 11:22 pm. So there is lots of opportunities. Thousands of people show up. They moon trains, they drink, moon some more.
You better hurry though. This year’s is tomorrow. So better get your tickets and head to the airport. Also, the town is hard to get to. The authorities suggest that you “Take the train.” Wow, moon and get mooned. Same day. A nice rhythmn, “moon in, moon, moon out.” Kind of like “Don’t worry, be happy.”
Be aware though, the local powers to be are threatening to be out in force and try to stop this event. It is a threat to public safety they say! I think Obama is behind the ban. Another attack on our way of life! Our traditional values and sacred rights! Are we Americans going to put up with this?

I’m pro-mooning. Definitely. If our way of life can’t put up with a little harmless fun, maybe the way of life needs to go!
Oh dang! It looks like I’m gonna miss it this year. 😉
Isn’t it strange what some people have fun doing? I heard about this last month but I’m thinking maybe there’s another city/town that like to do this too.
Oh it is not so hard to get there Im right up the coast about an hour but we have plenty of little red necks here that don’t need a train or a moon…lol….And yeah what happened to our America????? so sad…..but have faith 4 years goes fast…..god bless
Ya reckon mooning Santa Fe would be the same LOL!?
Now off to click that link, I can’t resist!
Oh my that is funny.
Yogi: Cool capture of the train.
