But I appreciate the positive attitude. Like you, I used to look at many places in Disneyland and think, “I could stay there, I promise I wouldn’t be any bother!”.<br /><br />Melissa, I’m glad you didn’t try to pretend that you love mules more than I do, because that would be the end of the blog. There are some things a man just can’t handle!<br /><br />Patrick Devlin, is that other things a bear? I honestly can’t tell! It does look like it’s doing the “flying crane” pose that I’ve seen in so many kung fu movies.<br /><br />Graffer, even when you know how they make those topiaries, they are still very impressive. I don’t ever remember hearing that line from the train, but I love it!<br /><br />dean finder, fortunately those roofs are so little that the cost is very reasonable.<br /><br />Nanook, “Ursine Death Grip” would be an excellent band name.<br /><br />The Magic Ears Dudebro, ha ha, it is true, in general folks from those days look a lot better than the tank top/shorts/flip flops look of today. There are changes aplenty with the Magic Ears Dudebro, I will have to check in at the new address.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-81041283279194889692018-04-29T17:44:55.716-07:002018-04-29T17:44:55.716-07:00For a minute there, I thought those were men worki...For a minute there, I thought those were men working on top of the building, but they're just people riding the pack mules. They looked too well dressed to be workers. Then again, they also look too well dressed to be Disneyland guests, but, hey, those were the dapper 50s and 60s.<br /><br />Also, wanted to give you all a heads up that my blog's web address has been changed to match my new name, The Magic Ears Dudebro: http://magicearsdudebro.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-7902760241634474582018-04-29T13:48:14.416-07:002018-04-29T13:48:14.416-07:00@ Patrick-

A simple little throw-away line that cost nothing but added to the magic.

I love those little touches.<br /><br />And here I thought that second picture was a little-known attraction based on <i>Lady and the Ramp.</i>Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169920944565828337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-6942180024729769762018-04-29T06:00:32.307-07:002018-04-29T06:00:32.307-07:00Any pic of Rainbow Ridge is appreciated by this Ri...Any pic of Rainbow Ridge is appreciated by this Ridge lover. OK more muleage would have been great, but I would have given my best pig to live in the little house on the hill when I was 8. As for the topiary, it always puts me in mind of The Shining. They can only move when you are not looking at them. I appreciate the many hours of work that must have gone into creating them. So you see these snaps are really bursting with quality. Thank you Major for making my Sunday.JC Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15266914255406912159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-45076602997681352412018-04-29T00:07:04.204-07:002018-04-29T00:07:04.204-07:00Major-
