Tractor For Sale


Isn't she a beaut?

The orange tractor really is for sale. You can see it at the San Benito County Historical and Recreational Park, a mile or so south of Tres Pinos, on Highway 25. While you're there, take a look at all the other historical buildings and things that were relocated from other parts of the county.

Equestrians


Said the queen, "Ms. Dee Klein, I decline to recline on the equine." Say that five times, if you dare.

And, if you want another "Take 25 to Hollister" tongue twister, try this one.

As for the photo? I spied these equestrians  in a corral just north of Tres Pinos, while the husband was driving back to Hollister. We were on Highway 25, aka Airline Highway, of course.

Horse Hay 4 Sale


Jose and Jorge have horse hay for sale. Say that five times quickly.

The hay for sale was sighted on Airline Highway, aka Highway 25, heading to Tres Pinos. It was near Best Road, across from Ridgemark, in case you're needing some hay. But, don't ask for Jose or Jorge. I have no idea who owns the hay.

Deceptiveness


"Distances are very deceptive."

That is the example given in my thesaurus for the word deceptive. This picture provides proof for that phrase.

I'm standing on the sidewalk on McCray Street by Premiere Cinema, about a mile away from the cannery. See the smoke in the photo? That's coming from the cannery. Doesn't the smoke look like it is much further away than a mile?

That mountain peak at the far right of the photo. That's Fremont Peak, about 19 miles away. Doesn't it look so much nearer?

It Is A . . .



You'll find this object throughout downtown Hollister. What do you think it is?

A sun dial?

A peace symbol?

A no parking sign?

Nope. Nah. Not at all.

Hint: You lock a transportation device to it.  I've noticed a lot more people—young and old—are riding these devices lately, particularly the beach cruisers. So cool!

Yep. You got it.
