Leaving Country For A Few Weeks - Last Day In Celebration / Stormy Day & Peaceful Moments With Deer
Last Day In Celebration
Transcript
0:05
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. As
0:05
the recording of this, it is Sunday,
0:07
June the 15th, 2025. It's going to be a
0:10
very relaxing day for myself and
0:14
cruising around in Mini Marge. And then
0:17
a little bit later, I'm going to go
0:18
downtown, get some coffee. I believe I
0:20
have already missed the Art Farmer Flea
0:22
Market, an event they have each and
0:24
every Sunday on Market Street in
0:26
downtown Celebration. It's 1:50 p.m.
0:29
right now. During the summer hot months,
0:32
which this would be classified as, even
0:34
though I think technically summer
0:35
doesn't start for another week or so, 2
0:38
weeks, unofficially, it's summer in
0:41
Florida. Scaldingly hot in Florida. So,
0:45
I got my cap on, which probably would be
0:48
smarter to wear it forward than
0:50
backwards to to shield your nose from
0:53
the sun, but I kind of like the
0:54
backwards look.
0:56
The farmer art flea market during hot
0:58
months closes at one. During rest of the
1:01
year, cooler months, which there's only
1:03
like two cooler months in the entire
1:04
year, they close at two. So, I don't
1:06
think there's going to be any vendor set
1:07
up. But I am going to mobile order some
1:09
Starbucks, get a piping hot caffeinated
1:11
beverage, cruise around, just see where
1:14
the day leads, then head back home, do
1:16
some laundry, do some packing, prepare
1:19
myself,
1:22
make sure my plans are in order, and
1:24
then tomorrow
1:27
leaving the good old US of A for 3
1:30
weeks. And it will be my seventh country
1:34
going to the end of this month. And then
1:37
in July, early July, my eighth country.
1:41
I'm doing one country a month. And now
1:43
it should be my sixth country, but in
1:45
June I did two countries, but I'm
1:47
sticking to the trying to follow the the
1:50
template of one country a month, but I
1:52
did do two countries in January. Now,
1:55
after this year, starting next year, I
1:56
don't know if I'm going to continue the
1:58
one per month, you know, template.
2:02
I might end up doing, you know, two or
2:04
three countries a month next year or
2:06
skipping a few months. But this year,
2:08
2025, that's the game plan. Nonetheless,
2:11
long intro. I'm inviting you to join me.
2:13
Let's cruise around, shall we? Now, I
2:16
will not be in town on 4th of July for
2:18
Independence Day.
2:21
But I do like to look at the
2:22
decorations. Check out Donald's Mickey
2:24
and Minnie up there with their patriotic
2:26
caps on and
2:28
clothing. Collared shirt Donald has on.
2:39
Last year I was
2:39
in town and in the country for Fourth of
2:41
July, but this year I'll be elsewhere.
2:46
So I'm going to one country at the end
2:47
of June and then I'm going to another
2:49
country in July. There's a squirrel
2:52
right over there.
3:00
International travel continues. It's
3:00
kind of wild that I never really did
3:02
international travel till this year. And
3:04
now I'm just doing one country a month,
3:07
learning a lot, seeing some things,
3:09
enjoying life, just doing my thing. I
3:13
appreciate you tagging along. Current
3:15
temperature here in town, a balmy and
3:18
humid 91°.
3:26
Yes, you're reading that right. 91°. I'm
3:26
sure the humidity level is probably on
3:29
par with that percentage.
3:32
Woo!
3:34
Got to love Florida.
3:37
Warm a spot waiting for me right here.
3:45
It doesn't have my name on it and it's
3:45
not specifically for me, but it is made
3:49
for glorified golf carts, regular golf
3:51
carts, and tiny electric vehicles. But
3:55
as I pointed out before, I really enjoy
3:57
the fact that the electric vehicle
3:58
parking only sign
4:01
looks exactly like Mini Marge. That
4:03
right there is an artistic
4:05
representation
4:07
before I even bought a golf cart of
4:09
myself.
4:18
All right, it's coffee time. Mobile
4:18
order should be ready by the time I get
4:19
over there. You can definitely see they
4:21
are putting everything away from the
4:22
farmers market. They got all the flags
4:25
up. That one's kind of all twisted
4:26
around, but they got the flags up for
4:28
Fourth of July. They've been up for a
4:30
little while now. Flag Day was the other
4:32
day as well.
4:34
All right, got a little happy Sunday.
4:38
The front of my cup here.
5:19
There's some more Fourth of July
5:20
inflatables. Lot of Uncle Sam's here in
5:22
this yard.
5:24
We got the God Bless America down here.
5:27
Listen to those insects in the trees.
5:50
This This house usually does the
5:50
holidays up pretty well. Halloween,
5:53
Christmas, Fourth of July. The other one
5:55
on the other corner that I started off
5:57
at, they do every holiday.
6:06
Like even the smaller ones, they go all
6:06
out. But this house does a lot, too. Oh,
6:08
looks like the church over here is
6:09
having an event today or they're getting
6:11
ready for it this evening. Food,
6:14
fellowship, and fun. They have an
6:16
inflatable slide. Wonder if they've ever
6:18
anyone taken a bike down that thing.
6:20
This business here, they put up a lot of
6:23
Fourth of July patriotic stuff as well.
6:27
It's called the Town Decorator. Used to
6:30
be a resident, but a lot of these
6:32
residents here on this street have
6:34
turned into local businesses.
6:37
But I love the fact that they have these
6:39
vintage
6:41
Disney pieces up there. There's another
6:42
Donald wearing a cowboy hat. You got
6:44
Mickey holding his eyes. You got Pluto
6:46
over there
6:50
and Minnie.
7:04
You know, it's hard to believe, but back
7:04
in the '9s, this little apartment
7:07
complex, this Golden Corral, this whole
7:09
area used to be a water park called
7:11
Water Mania. Catch a wave at Water Mania
7:14
was their slogan. It was also Wet N Wild
7:16
over on International Drive. That's gone
7:18
now, too. Both of these. RIP. This one
7:20
closed first. My family moved here in
7:23
the early '9s. My sister and I used to
7:25
go to Water Mania pretty often.
7:28
Quite a few times. be right over there
7:31
and the wave pool, the slides, etc. Now
7:35
it's a golden corral directly across
7:38
from the fake celebration water tower.
7:41
There's no water in that thing. Confirm
7:43
that.
7:45
Oh, there's a farmers market banner on
7:48
the water tower. Look at that.
7:50
It's already ended for the day. But
7:52
yeah, there's a that's neat that they're
7:53
promoting the farmers market to the
7:56
outside the bubble world.
7:58
That's what celebration a lot of people
7:59
call celebration the bubble because it's
8:01
a little bit different than getting over
8:02
onto Highway 192.
8:06
Cruising by Lonely World now. The empty
8:09
desolate former resort that's been
8:12
sitting empty for
8:14
I don't know way over a decade. There's
8:16
a van over there on property.
8:19
I'm not going to drive up in there
8:21
anymore. I did that. Done that before.
8:26
I call it Lonely World because someone
8:28
spray painted the Lonely World name on
8:31
the sign. It's not the Delta Hotels.
8:33
That's the one that's right next to it,
8:36
which probably
8:38
they're probably not very content with
8:40
having the
8:45
the view over at the Delta Hotel of
8:46
Lonely World.
8:48
I always like to do updates on this
8:49
because sometimes I'll
8:52
show things numerous times over the
8:54
course of years.
8:57
And I always think, why am I showing
8:58
stuff so much? Because at some point,
9:01
this will not be here. But for now,
9:04
lonely world still exists. And what I do
9:07
now is I just drive up here to the first
9:10
circle and leave. Just like that circle
9:12
back out. Kind of like mystery fun
9:14
house. I covered that a lot when it was
9:16
empty and going through all its
9:17
different stages of decay.
9:27
And then also over on I4, the Christian
9:28
theme park,
9:30
which was there for many, many years,
9:33
it has been bulldozed now. I covered it
9:35
a lot. I can always go back and look at
9:37
those videos and then see what it looks
9:39
like now. It's an Advent Health
9:41
hospital. I cross back over into
9:44
Celebration. Those that are from Florida
9:47
or have visited Florida enough
9:50
do realize that any body of water that's
9:52
not chlorinated or the beach,
10:00
99 times out of 100 will have an
10:00
alligator in it. So you just you never
10:02
see anybody swimming around in these
10:04
like little retention ponds, these
10:05
little small lakes
10:08
because even though you can't see the
10:10
gators, there's a pretty good chance
10:11
they're in there submerged waiting to
10:14
say hello.
10:21
Oh, is there one down there? I think
10:21
there might be one out there.
10:23
No, it's a stick.
10:26
Oh, look at these two birds. Sandill
10:29
cranes have just taken a little bath.
10:34
You guys just took a little bath. I
10:35
mean, it is scorching out here. I can
10:37
imagine you want to cool down. I think
10:39
those are sandill cranes.
10:41
Also, if these are sand, it's hard to
10:44
tell because they're wet. They look a
10:46
little bit different. This one's like
10:46
hopping. That's how he dries off. He
10:48
just hops up and down. But sandill
10:51
cranes, fun fact, have the rideway.
10:55
So, if you're driving along and a
10:57
sandill crane crosses in front of you,
11:00
the sandill crane has the rideaway.
11:06
Yeah. You look at it hopping up and
11:07
down. You're excited about having the
11:09
rideaway, right?
11:13
That's so cute.
11:15
That's how they dry off. I love that.
11:18
I've never seen them do that before. But
11:20
then again, I've never seen them take a
11:22
bath in a gatorinfested pond.
11:29
You playing?
11:42
I've never seen a frol look like that
11:42
before.
11:44
Other ones. I don't know if I've seen
11:45
these two before, but
11:48
there's a crow right up there, too,
11:50
wanting to You want to be in the video?
11:52
No. Getting camera shy
12:04
out of the Woo's Wild Kingdom.
12:04
All right. See a crowd.
12:07
Oh, you want me to say it? A Hitchcock
12:10
would be
12:13
crowd.
12:15
This is the content, folks.
12:18
Oh, there's a duck. There's a duck right
12:19
there. Look at that. Right over there.
12:26
A little duck right there. Those clouds
12:26
look pretty awesome.
12:28
I think I'm going to go back to the
12:29
house and watch a little bit of the Rays
12:31
game. I think it's game three against
12:33
the Mets. They've won the first two of
12:34
the three, which means that the Rays
12:36
have already won that Mets series. I'll
12:39
go back and catch the end of that game,
12:44
do some laundry, packing, and I might go
12:46
out at dusk and see some deer. I haven't
12:49
had a deer at dusk day or deer at dusk
12:52
early eve in a while. And since I'm
12:54
going to be gone for 3/4 of a month
12:56
before I return back home, I want to see
12:58
some deer.
13:01
That's what that's where the day is
13:02
leading.
13:07
Yeah. Hard to believe that this time
13:07
tomorrow
13:09
I'll be commuting
13:11
to another country.
13:17
And I'm not coming back home till I go
13:18
to two more countries.
13:21
Good times. Good times. I love clouds.
13:23
You can see the parking lot is not that
13:25
full because as I am filming this, it is
13:27
the weekend. It is Sunday.
13:37
One thing about Florida, it is hot and
13:37
humid and miserable most of the time
13:39
weatherwise, but we have beautiful
13:41
clouds here and really beautiful sunset.
13:43
Especially when the sun sun bounces off
13:47
of said clouds. I hear a helicopter.
13:56
I don't see it though. I don't see it
13:59
all the streets here in town. Well, all
14:01
but one, cuz there's one that's a speed
14:03
limit that's higher than 40 mph. But any
14:07
road that has a speed limit of 35 or
14:09
under, which is the majority of the
14:11
roads here in Celebration, Florida are
14:14
35 marked 35 or under. And because that
14:17
has a speed limit of 25, you can drive a
14:21
golf cart or a glorified golf cart on
14:24
the streets
14:26
as long as you don't go on the one road
14:28
that goes to drive. who runs by the Art
14:31
Deco 7-Eleven and the Mickey D's. That
14:36
is also kind of a throwback
14:38
architecture.
14:40
You can't get over to Island Village on
14:42
that road. That's the only thing. So, if
14:43
you're going from here to Island Village
14:44
or Island Village to here, you're not
14:46
supposed to take the NEVs. Neighborhood
14:50
electric vehicle is what it's called.
14:52
NEV. And that has same sign as the
14:54
parking down there. Even though a lot of
14:56
people who drive electric cars, Teslas,
14:59
Rivians, etc., they park in the electric
15:02
vehicle parking even though the spots
15:03
are teeny and tiny because
15:06
technically it theirs are electric
15:09
vehicles also. So, I'm sure at some
15:11
point they're going to have to really
15:12
specify, but this is a neighborhood
15:14
electric vehicle community. Neighborhood
15:16
electric vehicle are permitted. Are
15:18
permitted? Yes, they are.
15:21
If a pirate was driving one of these,
15:23
they would be allowed because they are
15:25
allowed as a bath. That's the worst
15:27
joke. I don't know even know why I even
15:28
said it. On the residential streets
15:34
pulled over right here just to just to
15:36
show that
15:53
Yeah, Rays are doing really good.
15:53
Love that team.
15:56
Last three years. This year, not so
15:57
much. Went to so many games. I went to
15:59
all all 30 of the current stadiums.
16:01
Seeing the Rays play at all of them. So,
16:04
I've seen the Rays play at all current
16:06
MLB stadiums over the last few years.
16:08
This year, I went to Steinbrer. So, I
16:10
knocked off my 31st
16:12
stadium seeing the race play in the
16:14
regular season, not counting spring
16:16
training. There's a turtle right there
16:19
on that sandbar, right in the middle of
16:20
the screen. Kind of see him right at the
16:21
tippy top of the sandbar.
16:27
So, obviously there's all the issues
16:27
with Tropican Field getting destroyed
16:29
during the hurricane last year. So, they
16:31
have to play at the Yankees spring
16:34
training facility, Steinbrunner.
16:36
But, they're doing so good. I knew that
16:39
this team would be better than the last
16:40
couple years. Even from opening day, I'm
16:42
like, man, they got they definitely have
16:44
a better team than they have the last
16:46
couple years. Some pretty good
16:48
potential.
16:50
This house has got their patriotic
16:52
inflatables out as well. Uncle Sam.
17:09
So, right now with the season ended
17:09
today, now granted, there's still what
17:12
between 90 and 100 games left,
17:15
maybe more than that. Let's say 100
17:17
games.
17:19
The season's only a third of the way
17:20
over. Let's call it that.
17:31
do not feed or mess with the gators
17:31
if you see any in here.
17:34
But what I'm really hoping for if if the
17:36
season ended today, they would they
17:37
would be have a wild card spot. I'm
17:39
hoping they can clench the division, the
17:41
AL at least. Really hoping the Yankees
17:44
start playing poorly, the Blue Jays get
17:46
knocked down a notch or two, Red Sox
17:48
don't get to the division. But even if
17:51
the Rays make the wild card, that could
17:53
mean an interesting scenario
17:56
for playoff baseball in an 11 to 12,000
18:00
capacity stadium. Steinbrunner Field
18:03
only holds just shy of 12,000. 11,000
18:07
and change. 12,000. Let's say they add
18:10
some extra seats somehow, get another
18:13
few hundred. Let's say 12,000.
18:16
Will the MLB
18:18
allow playoff baseball to be played in
18:22
the RA? It's their home stadium this
18:23
year. And if a team makes it to the
18:26
postseason, they are granted home field
18:29
advantage in a series of games. So,
18:31
would it be fair to remove a team from
18:34
their temporary quote unquote home field
18:37
and move playoff baseball to another
18:39
one? And would that be fair to the other
18:41
team they are going up against?
18:44
I don't know if the if they made it to
18:46
the World Series, that'd be amazing. I
18:48
doubt that Manfred and MLB would allow a
18:52
World Series to be played in a small
18:54
ballpark like that. But what about
18:59
ALDS, ALCS, Championship, Division
19:01
Series, Wildcard games? That's like my
19:04
dream. Well, I would love for them to
19:07
just win anywhere, but to see the Rays
19:10
advance high into the postseason bracket
19:13
at that small stadium,
19:16
it could happen. It could happen,
19:19
especially the way they've been playing.
19:20
Granted, everything changes after the
19:22
All-Star game. Season doesn't really
19:24
start till the All-Star game and after
19:26
the trade trade deadline, but right now,
19:29
don't want to jinx it, but they're doing
19:30
pretty good. They're doing pretty good.
19:31
Oh my gosh, friendly squirrels.
19:42
Oh my gosh, there's three of them.
19:42
There's one there. There's one over
19:45
there. There's one right here by the
19:46
root system.
19:55
Right down there.
19:55
Hi, sweetie.
20:41
Oh, there's a couple of more up there.
20:41
Hi.
20:43
This whole tree is just full of
20:45
squirrels.
20:54
Lot of animal life in this video.
20:54
What are you doing? What are you doing
20:56
over here? Making yourself comfortable
20:59
on that route.
21:15
Cozy. Oh. Oh. Oh.
21:15
Is that a gator?
21:18
Ooh. There was a big splash over there
21:20
on the sandb bar.
21:26
All right. Go home and get out of this
21:27
heat for a little bit. It's toasty.
22:02
Yeah, Ray's doing pretty good. Pretty
22:02
happy so far.
22:04
Also happy with the international
22:06
travels. I'll be adding more magnets
22:08
here. Got my six countries so far.
22:12
Bise,
22:14
England,
22:17
Ecuador,
22:22
Canada,
22:22
South Korea,
22:25
Mexico,
22:28
and the only two asterisks would be
22:30
Mexico. I went to Mexico City, but I had
22:32
been to Tijana
22:35
once or twice on tour and just kind of
22:38
popped over the border from San Diego.
22:40
Don't really consider that getting into
22:41
the country when you're just kind of
22:43
going to a tourist strip right across
22:45
the border. And I had been to Canada on
22:48
tour with a band before years and years
22:50
ago. And I also went to a baseball game
22:53
in Toronto, but when I went to
22:54
Vancouver, you know, I was there for a
22:56
little over a week and really kind of
22:58
sunk my teeth into it. So, I feel like
23:01
Canada has officially been done. Mexico
23:03
has been officially done. But from here
23:06
on out, after these six, every country I
23:08
will be visiting are complete places
23:11
that I've never ever been to before. So,
23:15
that's fun. All right, some time has
23:17
passed. It's about to storm outside, but
23:19
I'm going to get back in my golf cart,
23:22
drive around, maybe see some deer. I
23:23
actually might go get a second coffee
23:26
and walk around the lakefront. It was
23:27
just way too hot earlier to walk around
23:30
the lake shore. So now the sun's, you
23:32
know, it's almost dusk. It'd be sun will
23:34
go down in about an hour and a half. But
23:37
take a look at this. 9 to zero. They
23:39
shut out the Mets who were the best team
23:41
going into that series. Best team in the
23:44
NL National League. Of course, the Razer
23:46
in the AL.
23:48
Speaking of the American League, the
23:50
Orioles beat the Angels. Orioles are
23:52
last in the division in the AL East.
23:54
That's pretty much the watch one I watch
23:56
closest. Speaking of the Blue Jays, they
24:00
just got swept by the Phillies.
24:03
The third game they won. The Phillies
24:05
won 11 to four, which means the Blue
24:07
Jays are now behind the Rays in the AL
24:10
East and the Yankees were swept by the
24:13
Red Sox. Red Sox are below the Rays, but
24:16
the Yankees are above. But it brings
24:20
it brings the Rays closer
24:23
in the AL East. Look at this. The Rays
24:25
right now are only three and a half
24:27
games back behind the Yanks.
24:31
And again, if you went to the Wildcard
24:33
situation,
24:36
look at this. The number one team in the
24:38
AL for the wild card is the Rays.
24:42
They're two and a half games up
24:45
for a wild card spot.
24:52
I love that. I mean, it's early, but
24:52
that's a good It's a good start to the
24:54
season. Still 90° at 6:36 p.m. Oo,
24:58
lightning strike.
25:08
That's when it officially goes down. But
25:08
it'll it'll it's dust now and raining
25:11
and well, overcast. Yeah. Yeah, I don't
25:13
know if there's going to be any deer out
25:15
with the weather like it is. I don't
25:18
know if they want to be out in the
25:19
lightning. Just turning around in this
25:20
little cul-de-sac. Very beautiful
25:23
neighborhood over in here. So many
25:24
little nooks and crannies of
25:27
celebration. Little cubby holes of
25:31
goodness when it comes to houses through
25:34
here.
25:44
A lot of times around this hour, you'll
25:44
see them right over here in this area on
25:46
this road. Usually off to the side right
25:49
over here.
25:50
But again, the lightning and the thunder
25:54
probably scares them off.
26:05
Oh, starting to get some raindrops now
26:05
on the windshield.
26:14
Give me that rain.
26:17
I'm getting some thunder out right now.
26:19
I love the employees inside. They're
26:21
always so nice. They wrote a little
26:22
enjoy. And then also an extra little
26:26
Adam. Adam the best.
26:29
Said Adam the woo. I like that right
26:31
there. I was like I was kind of put a
26:33
bug in their ear about maybe trying to
26:36
for them to put a word towards corporate
26:38
to get the the mugs that you see
26:40
everywhere. The not it's it's not the
26:42
you are here mugs. They're called
26:43
something else now. But a lot of places
26:45
don't have them. Like Knottberry Farm
26:47
has a Starbucks. They don't have one
26:48
yet. Even though you can get one at
26:50
Universal Studios Hollywood, you can get
26:52
one at Disney World. You can get one at
26:53
Disneyland. You can get those versions
26:55
of the Starbucks mugs. But Warner
26:57
Brothers out in LA, they didn't have one
26:59
for years. And the last time I was at
27:01
the WB, they have them now. So, I feel
27:04
like maybe Starbucks is starting to make
27:06
more customizable ones. But I just feel
27:08
like if they had them at the Celebration
27:10
Starbucks, I think they would sell so
27:12
many. I think the corporate Starbucks
27:14
corporate would get on that. I think a
27:16
lot of people come here to visit.
27:17
They'll go to Disney World and they'll
27:18
pop over here if they have a free day,
27:20
just kind of walk around. I think people
27:22
I think they would sell a lot of
27:24
Celebration Starbucks mugs in there.
27:25
Enough to to recoup their money if they
27:27
decided to do it. I'd buy one. more of a
27:29
chance to get struck by lightning under
27:30
a tree or outside of underneath a tree.
27:33
Like in the movies, whenever you're
27:34
standing underneath a tree and lightning
27:36
strikes, it'll like it'll break off a
27:38
limb. Like the lightning will always
27:39
crack the limb and the limb will fall
27:41
right beside you. So judging off of
27:44
movies, which you should never go off of
27:46
a fictional movie is where you're safest
27:48
to be under a tree, but I don't know
27:50
what the mathematical probability of
27:52
that would be. There's some people
27:54
sitting out here underneath the chairs.
27:56
You know what? I think I might sit right
27:57
underneath here. I think I could cuz
27:59
it's starting to rain. Look at this.
28:00
It's definitely starting to rain. Get
28:02
underneath underneath here and just
28:03
relax a little bit. Maybe back this up.
28:06
A good view with the newly installed
28:08
fountain that's only been running a
28:10
couple weeks. That'll be the last time I
28:11
see it for the next 3 weeks. Yeah, it's
28:13
starting to come down pretty good now.
28:14
Those chairs right there are getting
28:15
pretty moist over there in the uh in the
28:18
the elements, but I'm underneath this
28:20
little awning right here. Looks like
28:22
Marcos and Elaine have kind of marked
28:24
their territory on the side of the Oh,
28:27
look. Marcos and Elaine. I think they
28:29
were going to write was here. So,
28:30
someone has already and been scribbled
28:32
their name in there for for all to see.
28:37
Yeah, I really like this. I really like
28:38
this fountain that they installed. Kind
28:41
of keeps the water circulating a little
28:42
bit more over there and gives you
28:44
something to look at.
28:46
Nice. I'm kind of hoping this passes
28:48
here in the next few minutes before
28:50
sunset. Doesn't look too bad over there.
28:53
Like you can kind of see some clearing
28:56
up over in that section. And if even if
28:58
you kind of look up here, you can see a
29:00
little clearing as well. Those people
29:01
are running to get out of the get out of
29:03
the storm that's happening now. But
29:08
saying that it's not going to rain for
29:09
much longer. So see how accurate the app
29:11
is. Kind of see the clock over there
29:13
says 1 minute to 7. At least with the
29:16
human eye over here. We zoom in a little
29:18
bit. You can see it's pretty much on the
29:20
7 and then the 59
29:24
right there.
29:26
So, the weather has
29:30
changed just a little bit. It said it
29:31
was going to stop raining after about a
29:33
half hour. That is not true. It is now
29:35
showing, look at the look at the map
29:38
here of the storm, the radar if you
29:40
will. 89 degrees and it's it's going to
29:43
be 100% through this hour. 50% till 8
29:46
PM. It's only 7 o'clock. So, yeah, I
29:50
gotta get back to the cart. It's got a
29:52
little roof on it and let's drive around
29:53
a little bit and then head back to the
29:54
house. I was thinking I get a nice
29:56
little sunset with the cloud formations,
29:59
but all those clouds that the sun likes
30:01
to bounce off for a nice sunset, they
30:03
turn into rainstorms sometime.
30:09
I do love a good rainstorm, though.
30:09
There's something about rain. It's just
30:11
very peaceful and enjoyable. Kind of
30:13
puts your mind at ease. And it's less
30:16
hot than uh than the sun beating down
30:18
upon your neck and your arms. Even with
30:21
the rain coming down, the birds are
30:22
chirping as if the sun is out shining.
30:24
Listen to the birds underneath
30:26
underneath the diner over here. You got
30:28
the raindrops are falling right here.
30:30
Got the birds chirping. Just keeping it
30:32
all positive even with the drizzling
30:34
rain. There's a lot of birds there.
30:37
Beautiful bird sounds. through here. I'm
30:40
just going to kind of walk along this
30:41
railing so I can stay well. I think no
30:43
matter what I'm going to get wet. Yeah,
30:45
it is damp.
30:48
I do have these little windshield wipers
30:50
though. They help a little bit. They're
30:52
kind of more funl looking than actually
30:55
practical use. Well, I guess you can
30:56
help a little bit,
31:02
but they are kind of fun looking. I'm
31:02
going turn it off. I can see through the
31:04
mist on it.
31:07
It's slowing down though. slowing down.
31:09
Do deer come out after a rainstorm? I'm
31:12
going to find out. I just realized one
31:14
of the main reasons I Well, one of the
31:15
many reasons I came down here, multiple
31:17
reasons, not many, but multiple reasons
31:18
I came down here was to get some money
31:20
out of the ATM from Bank of America. So,
31:23
pull back over here, parked in the
31:24
parking spot. This is where this is the
31:26
general area where I used to park when I
31:29
lived in the apartment down here for 3
31:32
years. Had an apartment down here for 3
31:34
years. The first of those three years, I
31:36
was by coastal. I had a place in Anaheim
31:39
a mile from Disneyland off of Orangewood
31:42
over by the skate park
31:45
just a mile pretty close to Angel
31:46
Stadium and all that. So I was back and
31:49
forth between here and there and then
31:51
for the other two years got rid of the
31:53
Anaheim place. Was here for two more
31:56
years and then have been in my house for
31:58
a year and a half about a year and a
31:59
half. But my apartment used to be on the
32:01
top floor right up there. And I would
32:03
always walk up those very stairs right
32:06
there. walk up that side, go to the
32:08
second floor, walk over to that
32:10
building, the beige looking building,
32:12
well the off orange color building, and
32:15
then go up to the third floor, and I had
32:18
a window that looked out on Market
32:19
Street, but I would park at any of these
32:21
spots or that spot. And whenever there
32:23
was parking, sometimes the parking
32:25
situation at night when it's not raining
32:26
gets really busy, and during the
32:28
holidays, Halloween and Christmas,
32:29
there's no parking through here. So,
32:31
that was that was one of the first
32:33
things I thought, you know, I should
32:34
probably not live downtown anymore.
32:35
could have just walked over here a
32:36
minute ago before getting back in the
32:38
golf cart and driving around. But I
32:39
didn't.
32:44
But as I was driving by, remembered it
32:44
because I was just right over there.
32:48
Need some cash for some international
32:50
travels, which I will be utilizing ATMs
32:54
and
32:57
the other places I go, but it's good to
32:58
have some cash
33:00
when you're heading somewhere.
33:03
Trade some of that in at the airports.
33:04
Keep some of it on hand. It's good to
33:06
have cards, but it's also good to have a
33:08
little cash
33:10
at the old ATM.
33:18
No one. And this sign means no one is
33:18
allowed. No one is permitted on these
33:21
stairs. It doesn't say under what
33:22
conditions though. I guess under any
33:23
conditions. That is a restricted area.
33:25
They used to have the gate right there
33:27
unlocked and you could go up there till
33:30
about the middle section and get a
33:32
little view down Market Street.
33:34
But no, no more. It is restricted.
33:44
It's almost 7:15 now. Standing in the
33:44
rain. Probably would have helped if I
33:46
had brought an umbrella, but I didn't.
33:59
I'm excited to leave tomorrow. I've been
33:59
back in town for I think like 10 days,
34:00
give or take a day.
34:10
Usually after about a week somewhere,
34:10
I'm ready. I get a little I get a little
34:11
anxious. A week is a good cusp for me to
34:15
go anywhere. Whether it be, you know,
34:17
another country, another city, another
34:19
place in the US or home, after about a
34:22
week, 8, nine days, that was moving. I'm
34:25
ready to get I'm ready to go on to the
34:26
next place and just bounce. I like
34:28
bouncing around in a weird twist of
34:30
fate. Well, I guess I guess you wouldn't
34:33
call it fate, but in a weird
34:34
coincidence, I met two different people
34:36
at Starbucks today that said hi. First
34:39
was this morning, guy came up and
34:42
sharing some information with me that he
34:43
was going to the baseball game tomorrow.
34:45
Razer going to be back in Florida
34:48
tomorrow going up against the Orioles, I
34:50
believe.
34:55
And then later on, you know, a little
34:55
bit ago, went back over for my second
34:57
cup hours later and I met another
35:00
gentleman, said hi. He said he was going
35:03
to the game also.
35:05
Kind of wish I was going to be in town
35:06
to go to the first Orioles. I think it's
35:08
the Orioles game, Orioles series, but I
35:10
got places to go, things to do,
35:14
but I have a good feeling that the Rays
35:16
are going postseason.
35:18
Let's go post.
35:23
I mean, it's still early. I keep saying
35:23
that, but this is the best the Rays have
35:26
done in a few years. And I think they're
35:28
like seven games above 500.
35:31
It's all baseball talk, which is Yeah,
35:33
if you're not into it, you're probably
35:34
like, "What the heck is he talking
35:35
about?" You know? I think it's letting
35:36
up.
35:40
This is the point of the day where I
35:40
start getting kind of hungry. I don't
35:41
really eat much during the day. I'm more
35:43
of a dinner time kind of guy. Rarely
35:46
ever unless I'm with people who want to
35:48
eat breakfast. Will I ever eat in
35:50
breakfast time? I like breakfast food at
35:51
night. I don't really eat breakfast
35:54
time.
35:57
I don't really eat lunch too much
35:58
either. I just usually drink coffee and
35:59
then have a meal at night.
36:02
Sometimes I'll eat a lunch, but rarely
36:04
if ever will I eat breakfast unless I'm
36:06
with people who want to eat breakfast.
36:08
But this is always a time and night to
36:10
start getting a hankering to maybe get
36:11
some food. So I don't know what will be
36:14
on the agenda for food. Look at the
36:16
cloud. You know what? I might get a good
36:19
sunset after all.
36:25
You have to pardon me. I'm just enjoying
36:25
enjoying a celebration day before before
36:27
leaving town.
36:29
Probably won't show up on camera too
36:31
well. I've showed showed it before,
36:34
but just because there's not a lot of
36:36
sunlight out, I don't know if it'll show
36:37
up in the morning sometimes after it
36:39
rains. You can see the the heat of the
36:42
asphalt
36:44
and then the water, the condensation
36:46
makes it steam up. You can kind of see
36:49
it down there. It's like gives it like a
36:51
little fog, an aura of fog.
36:55
Again, see it with a human eye pretty
36:58
well, but the camera might not pick it
37:02
Just shows how hot this pavement is
37:04
where the rain rolls in.
37:07
Yeah, I don't think it's really
37:08
resonating.
37:10
to the camera too out. Maybe it is. My
37:12
gosh, there's some out over here. Look
37:16
over there by the bridge.
37:19
They're looking. A couple of them are
37:20
looking at me. I'm going to walk over
37:22
there.
37:24
Yes. Yes.
37:28
It's good I'm not driving by.
37:31
Park the park the golf cart.
37:35
And I'm going to walk so I don't scare
37:36
them with the the noise that the cart
37:39
makes.
37:49
Feels like I'm just going up here to
37:49
meet some friends.
37:52
There they are.
38:01
How magical is this?
38:01
Hi
38:17
It's okay. Come on over.
38:17
Come on over.
38:19
Just going to say hi.
39:15
It's one of the many reasons I love
39:15
living here.
39:17
You just have deer everywhere
39:20
coming out after a nice little
39:22
rainstorm,
39:28
but they just live in all the wooded
39:28
areas. One thing that's good about
39:29
Celebration is how much green space
39:31
there is.
39:49
Probably get tired of being in the
39:49
woods. You want to come out at dusk and
39:52
munch on the ground, right?
40:02
I'm not going to hurt you, sweetie.
40:02
Just saying hi.
40:29
All right. Glad I got to say hello.
40:29
Enjoy the rest of your evening. Okay,
40:31
dear.
41:37
It's the best. It's the best. All right,
41:37
back home. And that's going to do it for
41:39
today. I'm really happy I got to see the
41:41
deer. I'm really happy. I did not think
41:43
they were going to be out after a
41:44
raintorm like that, but they were. I'm
41:47
becoming one with the celebration deer.
41:50
They make me happy. I'll see them again
41:53
in three weeks when I'm back.
41:57
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
41:58
next video. The vlog
42:00
is over.
