Seen on the Street

Errand running today, and while we were out I saw a couple of interesting things.

This is the season for lots of retail politicking in Mission Viejo, and that usually involves candidates standing on corners of busy intersections holding their signs and waving at passing motorists. I saw my buddy Dave Leckness, long time business owner and current City Council member doing his thing at La Paz and Marguerite. Didn't have a chance to stop and talk, but he's running for re-election Tuesday for one of three open seats in a field of thirteen candidates. It's kind of hard to shout over the noise.

We ate lunch at The Hat in Lake Forest which is right next to a Subaru dealership.  On the sidewalk in front of the dealership was a lone protester holding a hand-made sign that said "My new Subaru blew up twice".  On the back it said "HONK if you support me".  We honked.  He seemed like a nice guy who got stuck with a lemon and is having a problem getting a satisfactory resolution.  I wish I had had time to stop and get the whole story.  Sounds like it would have been interesting.
