The Mascots!

Since the beginning of our travels we have acquired a few things for the truck.  As you may have read here, our first addition was a pair of bikes to use when the truck is less than convenient for traveling around a city.

We also have managed to gather some mascots to keep us company in the cab.  I am pleased to introduce you to the other two members of our crew: Mr. Al Mond and Mr. Bobby Banana.

When the truck is in motion they struggle to sit up straight, and we plan on belting them with some velcro tape.  Regardless, they are valued members of the crew.

Al yells at Bobby for his inability to sit up on car rides

This inflatable Bobby also made his way onto the truck, but we keep him in the back because he is literally larger than life.  On the plus side, when the truck is not in motion he stands on his own!  However, we worry about how he will hold up in heat, and I can't say we appreciate him in the same way we appreciate our co-captains Al and Bobby. (Side note - since writing this post, our inflatable Bobby has disappeared.  We think we accidentally gave him away at a Boys and Girls Club in Sacramento.  I am sure he is happy wherever he is though)!!



At Blue Diamond Almonds, someone also managed to sneak this sign onto the truck.  I like to display this when we are on the road, but we put it away when we are at events.  We don't want people figuring out the obvious, we are nuts!
