I'm not sure why they would have designed trains to fit WDW's track when they were going to be used here in CA? Almost sounds like they tried to save money and ended up spending more to fix the problems. Eric

Tatsu at SFMM last Sunday. Eric

No. Did you kiss anyone today?

^ Not into cat wetting. < Into cat petting. V Into pants wetting!

Just think...in a little over seven months, it'll be December. Eric

Welcome back, Alpenguy! And again, thanks for everything you've shared with us. Now I can just get...off...of...that...spinning...Matterhorn... Eric

"It makes little to no sense to have both a B&M invert and floorless in the same park, as they create the exact same riding experience" (Bolliger&Mabillard) SFMM has both a Batman inverted, and a floorless (Scream!), and they are located close to each other in the park. To me, the riding experience isn't that similar. In SFMM's case, Batman is more forceful than Scream!, and Scream! has different kinds of inversions. Eric

Here in SoCal, our taxes are about 36 cents per gallon if I recall correctly. So that'll bring our prices down to $3.50 or so for regular. Not much of a savings, plus a lot of lost tax revenue. I'm all for developing new or improving existing technology to free us from oil dependency. Eric

^ Anxious for May 4. < Every day is a Friday for me till I find work. V Every day is "Hose Down the Cat Day!"

^ Good for you! Great day at SFMM. I got 11 rides in, met up with some friends (including Robb and Kristen), and my nephew and his wife from Vancouver. Eric

Earlier tonight as I was leaving SFMM, I saw a Chevron station with $4.45 diesel at the corner of The Old Road and Magic Mountain Parkway. It's gettin' up there... Eric

I used to, but not anymore. Are you picky about what you eat?

^ Wants a cookie. < Likes cookies, but has to watch it with the carbs. V Likes cookies, but would rather watch them crumble!

One evening recently, I was lying in bed and I suddenly wondered, "Why does my daughter have a chinchilla?" Eric

If you count a lot of walking up and down hills as sports, then yes. Do you like country music?

^ Has a career plan. < Career plan falling apart. V His jalopy is falling apart!

I really like wide-screen TRs. Thanks for sharing! Eric

Happy Birthday, Mike! Maybe I'll see you out at SFMM tomorrow---or the next time I go. Eric

Twice---for lunch and dinner! Do you mow your lawn?

I am planning to be there tomorrow as well. Goliath is one of my favorite rides out there---I hope it's running. Eric

"The food prices didn't seem *too* bad until I saw what 3 chicken tenders and fries cost." (BeemerBoy) They could be the big chicken strips, in which case it would "sort of" be worth it. We do have minor league baseball here in SoCal, but I've never been to a game. Looks like fun, though. Eric

^ The girls own iPods. An iPod I have not. But, since I'm the admin here at home, I can delete it if I want. Would it hurt to leave it on? Eric

More like 5% for me. Do you have neat handwriting or printing?

^ I don't think there is (Disney has that on their DLR/WDW sites). That would be a good idea for them to incorporate. Eric

A bit off-topic...what is Apple Safari? Is that some sort of operating system or an anti-spyware thing. Somehow I got that loaded earlier and want to know if I should keep it. Eric
