Cali Lewis Briefly Drives a Trolley

Cali was shooting a video for The Big Trip about Arnie, a motorman who volunteers with the free trolley system in Uptown Dallas. Arnie asked her to put her camera down, and then he had her come up and drive. I got to drive it too, but the footage of Cali is more fun.

It was scary because there were passengers on board, but it was surprisingly easy since there is no steering involved. One handle clicked from point to point to speed up, and one handle moved slowly to slow down.

   And Cali’s resume grows a little longer. Always good to have a wide range of skills!

   That looks like fun. It is good to try new things. I bet you were nervous. Glad you finally got the Flickr vid to upload

   Arnie is a former scientist and his college roommate was Ray Tomlinson, the man who put the @ in email.
