We're motoring down I-5 getting close to LA when we see an unbelievable sight---huge roller coasters, high roller coasters, looping roller coasters--every kind of roller coaster I ever saw in pictures, there in the distance beside the road. We weren't the only people to notice, because we soon came to the exit for this roller coaster paradise, and traffic pretty much just stopped while waiting for their turn to go to this amazing place. We eventually noticed that we could keep going if we just got out of the right side lanes. But not before I drug out the camera and got this picture.

I used to ride coasters all the time! Then, after I had children, I suddenly couldn't stomach them anymore! When we were back in Connecticut a few years ago, we went to Six Flags Over New England. I rode a couple of rides...and completely freaked out! I actually thought I was having a heart-attack at the peak of one run!
Man, I can see why. Some of those rides looked like heart-stoppers.
Do you want to get together and play someday soon? I think you, Carnivorous Hippy, and I need to go out...no husbands...no horns...just...whatever WE want!
You want to know something... There was a boy when I was in middle school. He liked me a lot... so much so, he named his pet rat after me, yes he did. Then he got up the nerve to ask me on a date. He was a demolay (not sure if I spelled that right, but whatever, not important to the story) and he invited me to go with him to this park (yes, this very park.) I said yes, because my parents never took me anywhere and this looked like the way I was going to get to go anywhere. Long story short, we went on that ride where you stand against the wall and the room starts spinning and the floor drops and you're stuck to the wall. I was feeling sick, really sick and I was going to throw up. I knew if I did, it was going to stick on my face (you know, cuz we're spinning.) So I lean my face to the side and let loose... all over Brian McCann. He still liked me the poor fool.
I think this is the longest comment I've ever left.

Oh, wow. DD still goes on that ride sometimes. I only did that ride once, in Klamath Falls, and thought OK, now I've done that. I think I got sick once when I was little, or maybe it was my brother. I don't think the cotton candy and candy apple went well with spinning and whirling. Whirling rhymes with hurling.
Oo, CH. You're a barf queen.
