February 2015

During a recent road trip to Orlando

I decided to visit a nice restaurant each evening

and eat all the things.

I gained five pounds!

So no more pigging out for awhile.

Even though I was at Walt Disney World, I wasn't having fun all the time.

I spent most of my time in or around one of these:

This transit bus is the first ride for most of the guests.

Many of the guests have never ridden on a bus before.

These vehicles are ten years old and very dusty and dirty

in the dark and hidden areas where I work,

even though the outside is snazzy.

After opening two doors, we can see the innards where the magic happens.

These black boxes that light up are PLC, Programmable Logic Controllers.

I told you about the programming language in a previous post.

You wouldn't Normally see these electronic brain units

unless you could possibly know where to look.

Enough about work.

I stayed in an area on International Drive which is wall-to-wall

with tourist things, some of which didn't look like they

would be safe enough to exist in the state of California

such as a raised go-cart track which resembled a roller coaster.

Which I didn't ride.

The most impressive item that I saw was the Orlando Eye.

The individual cars on the Ferris wheel are bigger than my first apartment.

Big enough for a flying dinner party.

The structure of the Ferris wheel hub is most impressive.

This picture is a good one for the handy phone splash screen.

It is very unusual and people ask me about it

when they see my phone light up.
