Somewhere, I have pictures of Disneyland during its "State Fair" promotion from the mid-'80s. Imagine seeing a Ferris wheel set up in the Hub and one in front of the Main Street train station! Eric

It looks like it'll be windy tomorrow at SFMM. I hope our food doesn't blow away. Eric

No, because I live 2500 miles from it and probably won't be riding it any time soon. Do trains run near your house?

Not yet... If it's 8:30 in Madagascar, what time does the clock say in your NASCAR?

Note that your bus said "COASTER" on it. Was that the model of the bus or did you put it on there? Eric

Bigger than Texas? Why, taxes, of course. If you were a sophomore in college, what grade would you say you were in if someone asked?

I have a friend in Princeton. Where's that in relation to Frisco? Eric

Today marked 14 years since the Northridge earthquake. Eric

"its amazing how blue the ride is!" (Top Thrill Dragster) Yeah, Flashback was a rather pretty blue when it arrived at SFMM. Then the sun and the birds got to it! Eric

Learn to like country music, and say "Yes, sir (or ma'am)" and "No, sir (or ma'am)" a lot. Eric

We should give Britney more---time in jail, that is! What is it about "compact disks" that makes them "compact?"

I well remember my trip in September 1979. Big Thunder had just opened and I was looking forward to riding it. Back then, you needed an "E" Ticket to ride (no Passports yet!). At the time, I had just turned 20. Thanks for sharing these pictures of the Disneyland I grew up with! Eric

Go get a stick. Eric

^ Can't dis...er, describe me. < Can't describe myself. V Can't describe dirt!

They eat people...cuts down on the population. Why doesn't cola have a different flavor?

"If "California" had a U in it I would totally have posed in all three letters of my name" (Lou) Had you spelled it as the British spell "colour" or "favour," then it would be spelled "Califournia" and you'd be in business! I'm enjoying your updates; sorry I wasn't there. Eric

So that's what his driving does to his hair, huh? Eric

Believe it or not, I've never played it. But it looks fun. Have you ever been to your school/workplace at night?

^ Good for you! Maybe you could influence some of those with lesser grammatic skills around here... Right now, though, I'm happy to be drinking a Diet Coke with Lime at 11pm. Eric

I'll be taking a shower and hitting the hay momentarily. Stand back, stand clear. Eric

^ Loves cereal. < Is a kid at heart. V Is a senior citizen at heart!

I would swear that this picture is actually at the old Busch Gardens in Van Nuys, as Japanese Village/Deer Park did not have such a ride. Busch Gardens did. Maybe someone at Google "goofled." Eric

No, I'd get tired running that far. Do you remember your dreams?

It means that the police are coming after you. Why won't anyone eat the last biscuit?

"...do either of you remember a place called 'Japanese Village'?" (montezooma) Yep, I sure do. In fact, I still use a souvenir that I got during my one and only visit in 1973---one of those day/date things that you flip over and the little metal plate slides down in front of the other one (I should post a picture of this thing). Our family went one day with a combo ticket to Japanese Village and Movieland Wax Museum. There weren't any rides at Japanese Village; only a few shows, pearl divers, etc. Somewhere, I have a brochure/map of the place. I'll have to dig it out. That park was located right next to I-5 just across the Orange County line headed south toward Disneyland. Eric
