Yeah, it’s only the start of August, but for my kids school will start early this year (in mid-August).
Drive-In
We just got back from Vacation and already it’s time for us to go on our last Drive-In theater experience for the year. Boy, this year really flew by…
Another reasons that we want to go now instead of some later movie is because “The Smurfs” are playing, and we thought it would be something that entire family would enjoy. So far, it’s pretty cool (I’m watching it and typing at the same time). I still have a hard time imagining Katy Perry as Smurfette, to me it seems like Jeniffer Aniston would be the more likely pick for that role.
Well, the movie has just concluded and to my surprise, it was much better than I expected. Admittedly, I came in with very low expectations…
I’m somewhat sad that this is the last movies this year that we will see at the Drive-In, but at least I’m not disappointed with the quality, it was a great conclusion!
Today, I decided to take a closer look at the wiring of the speaker system on the Drive-In poles. I was lucky because the particular pole that we used had it’s wires exposed. Based on the wiring, I’m guessing that it’s like an old christmas light string, where if one of the wires gets cut, the entire row goes out. What a fascinating system that had to use back in the old days.
Well, I’m back at home now, everybody had a great time.
Cheers,
