In the mid 70's I used to run a vending machine route that included all of the Stovall Inns, Inn of Tomorrow, Space Age etc around Disneyland. Each had all the topiary animals(bushes,guys) and other cool/cheesy stuff on the grounds. I think this is why the topiary animals in Steven King's "The Shining" gave me the creeps so bad when I first read it. When Lion Country Safari was open, around that same time, several friends and I went in my VW bug in quite an induced state. As we were driving around the park (going nice and slooow of course) we had a big assed rhino walk across the road, stop and stare right at us. Talk about being paranoid! It then proceeded to amble towards us and actually bumped into my car! We were laughing hystericaly the whole rest of the trip, just like the baboons. Wonder what they all thought about the very strange animals in the moving, noisy shell? Hope the site gets it's bandwidth problems cleared up as that area is a big part of my early years. Trustar
