しどなるど、ちょっとミラクルな午後。
この前トゥーンタウンでチップとデールの整列グリを見たのですが残念ながら並べなかったので今日も実施してないかと期待してランドにやってきました。トゥーンでチップとデールの写真を撮ったことないしペアでいいなと思って。今日の目的は一応それ(舞浜に来たのはまずBBの抽選ありきで、時間もまだあったのでランドから)。
到着してすぐに目の前で謎の整理券を配り始めたので思わず並んで貰ってしまいました。チップとデールに会いに来たのに意思が弱いな。誰の整理券かはお楽しみなんですって、今はこんなシステムなんですね。知らなかったぜ。そのまま少し待っていたらチップとデールがこちらにやってくる!貰った整理券はチップとデールの整列グリでした。まじか。CとDのダサい服着てないけどペアで撮らせてもらうのだって初めてだからとても嬉しかったです。
その後、トゥーンタウンに行ってみたもののフリグリで整列はやらない感じだったので今日は諦めました。そしてなぜかトゥーンの最前に空きを見つけたので七夕グリーティングを観ることにしました。なんで空いてるの?みんな七夕飽きちゃったの?
もうひとつ、ふたつ、ちょっとミラクルがあるんです。当選したBB、今日の席は4列目でした。先週の木曜が2列目で日曜が3列目で当たるたびに1列づつ後退しているのが面白いなと。しかも、今日と先週とわたしのお隣に座った方が同じ人なんです。だから何?ってことなのでわざわざ話しかけて確認しませんでしたけど、同じ方でした。抽選なのに。こんなことってあるんだな。

Chip Sherman, who works for the Union Pacific in the Denver area, writes that the pandemic had a dramatic effect on his employer’s traffic levels, as well as on him personally: “I pulled the pin after some twenty-two-years with my last railroad job as of June 1, 2020! The coronavirus was a factor in that decision as age and my possible vulnerability on the job prompted my path towards retirement.” The slowdown did leave Chip some time to do some photography and explore the local area, but the decline of coal traffic, combined with the impacts of the pandemic, meant job cuts after job cuts. “Essential workers found their jobs disappeared at an astonishing rate,” Chip adds, before noting that he will miss his co-workers. Video conferencing, however, has helped somewhat. “The coronavirus cancelled all of my social gatherings. Fortunately, one group that normally met in Pueblo or Palmer Lake each month went to using Zoom conferencing. Great way to visit with other photographers from across the country! Programs were shared via Zoom with typically good results.”
