Labor Day Weekend
[English version below]先週末はLabor Day Weekend(土日月)、多くの学校が始まったと思ったら、いきなり3daysのホリデー。
夏休みにもう散々遊んだから、このホリデーは皆、家でゆっくりしているのかなーと思うと、とんでもない。
この3日間、皆、結構動きまわる。Venturaで開催されるPrimer Nationalsに向かう車の中、「事故が一番多いのがホリデー初日の土曜日」と、ラジオで言っているそばから渋滞が始まり、
「ここでの渋滞はまずい!」と思っていると案の定、事故渋滞!
|
<なんとクルマが燃えていました。>
<The entire car burned! > |
今度は反対側が見物渋滞!
|
<これは自然渋滞>
<This natural gets congested.> |
<バイクはすいすいです。>
<Bikes move swiftly.> |
|
<主要なショーには必ずこの人が...Deuce
Factoryの笠井さんです。>
<This is Mr. Kasai of Deuce Factory who's always at major shows. > |
この週末はとにかくイベントも多い。Venturaで2days Car ShowのPrimer Nationals,
Orange Countyでは、3daysのCar Show, Labor Day Cruise,
|
<Shopの中ではZAPの写真展と、
Chabot木村氏のバイクが展示されていました。>
<Exhibited inside the Shop were photographs by ZAP and Kimura's bike Chabot.> |

<また会っちゃったね!Zap!>
<We meet again Zap!> |
Last weekend was Labor Day Weekend (Sat Sun Monday) and to think most of the schools just started their year, suddenly had a 3 day holiday. If you think everyone stays home to relax because they had the entire summer vacation to play, think again because it's far from it. This 3 day weekend everyone is out and about.
While driving to the Primer Nationals in Ventura, the voice on the radio says the first Saturday of a holiday has the highest number of accidents. Right after that the traffic begins to slow down. Just as I thought it was an awkward place to have congestion right here, it was a traffic accident!
It took 60 minutes to drive 6 miles, to the actual scene of the accident and after we passed the opposite side was backed up from onlookers. What normally takes 1.5 hours to travel 150 miles, from Orange County to Ventura, ended up taking 3 hours.
This weekend also has a lot of events taking place. In Ventura is the 2 day car show, Primer Nationals, in Orange County is the 3 day car show, Labor Day Cruise then on the 31st (Sunday) in Ventura is Dan Collins' Open House for his new garage. At any rate it was busy.
On Saturday it was to Primer Nationals, then Sunday morning the Labor Day Cruise and in the afternoon it was back to Ventura to Dan's Old Gold Garage. Then, on Monday it was back to Japan and in a flurry my holiday was over.
