VW Bus!

Jun 01, 2008 18:12

My brother bought a vintage VW bus today.  It's spray painted white so I get to paint flowers on it.  :)

Of course the bus needed a new battery immediately and still needs a major tune-up so I got to drive behind the bus all the way on surface streets home from San Jose to make sure it didn't die on the way.  A belated tour of Silicon Valley.

I won't be hauling my kids around in it anytime soon because it doesn't have seat belts in the back.  Oh, the good old days.  My family used to drive my brothers, cousins, and me around in the back of a pick-up truck.

My life is getting really close to what I once imagined it would be.  OK, the van isn't mine, but I did make it to California after meaning to move out here for about a decade and a half.

"I'm going see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home."
