Another Example of the Wussification of America

I grew up about 40 minutes from a wood framed roller coaster... it's all too safe for me nowadays.

I've been on identical Ferris wheel's in Myrtle Beach and Niagara Falls. all comfy and cozy for all riders.

I've been on the Niagara Falls one too. Call me a wuss, but enclosed isn't bad when it's really cold out and the wind is blowing off the river.

Glad you guys are finally getting some rain. We were out last weekend to see our kid at ASU and we got a pretty good thunderstorm. Just don’t get em that much in SoCal. The kids out here are actually scared of thunder & lightning it’s pretty sad.

That pic reminds of of back when the gutters on the 60 got blocked up by Az mills mall in Tempe. Closed the freeway all morning until one hwy worker went out and pulled the palm fronds off the grates. Nice pic.
