Here's What I Noticed First

(Novato, California)
On our first day in our first RV park, the first thing I noticed was that all motorhomes have names like Phaeton and Wayfarer and Discovery and all fifth wheels have names like Cyclone and Raptor and Outlaw. This was the also the first day I felt like an Old Fart. Geez, I felt like it was really brave of us to sell up everything and move into our motorhome fulltime and now I find out that we’re the weenies of the park! We might as well just walk around in sandals and black socks…
Do you suppose it’s because we Motor “Homers” are pulling our Hondas and Minis behind us and the fifth wheels are all being pulled by monster trucks up front and center? So the monster trucks are acting and the Honda’s are being acted upon. We’re nouns and they’re verbs. Sigh. Does this bug anybody else or do I just have an overdeveloped sense of insecurity??
