Sunshine's chin has healed. We're worried now about something else and it looks serious.
( I'll set this behind a cut out of respect to people who need to brace for pet-health issues. )Well, let's have some simple silliness here with Michigan's Adventure and one roller coaster we did ride.
The back of Shivering Timbers's ride sign, which you can only see quite well from in front of the queue. There's quite a bit of empty lawn space in front of it, obscured by the landscaping around the Old Time Photos shop and some other items. It's a curious bit of concealed empty space.
So does this look like a 15-minute queue to you? Well, it is when two trains are running; in our experience, it was about a half-hour to get to the station from here.
Looking back over the ``15-minute'' queue. Those kids on the left were confusing to us about whether they intended to all wait for the front seat row, or get into the first car (the front and second seat) and whether we could get the second row. In the end there were two sitting in the front row and one in the second row, and we contented ourselves to the front seat of the second car.
Trivia: The subsatellite Apollo 15 put into lunar orbit was launched from the Service Module by springs, put into an orbit 76.3 by 55.1 nautical miles at an inclination of -28.7 degrees. (The Command and Service Module at the time had an orbit 76.0 by 54.3 nautical miles.) Source: Apollo By The Numbers: A Statistical Reference, Richard W Orloff. NASA SP-4029.
Currently Reading: Lost Popeye, Volume 8: Where There's A Will There's A Relative. Tom Sims, Bela Zaboly. Editor Stephanie Noell. You'd think by now Popeye would be used to going to a place, asking for a specific ranch or mansion or manor or something, and having all the locals panic and run away. It happens, like, all the time. He shouldn't find this surprising anymore. (There's a cute understated joke where in the first panel of one strip the guy who ran off last panel of the previous says, OK, you made me show you where the ranch was but this is as close as I'll get, and he's got a black eye and is missing a tooth.)
