And we'll all float on, okay

Remember my mathematics blog? You do have a good memory then. Didn't do anything with it this week, so let me instead remind you I reviewed 60s Popeye: The Last Resort, and the last Gerald Ray. Coincidence? on my humor blog. And with that, let's get back to Michigan's Adventure, and cute animals and roller coasters and stuff:

Couple of ducks, in the enclosure right next to the rabbits. That doesn't seem like a lot of water, but I suppose they know what they're doing.

---

Uh-oh. I hope they're supposed to do that.

---

Miniature donkeys always up for a head-petting.

---

Well, hi there!

---

Chickens are always happy to be close to but not quite in petting range.

---

``I know, I know, the camera loves me.''

---

Getting back to Mad Mouse while the riding is good, and the sun good fun to shoot into.

---

And here's the coaster from the other side. The Mad Mouse lights point out into the parking lot, but you're not likely to forget the ride while you're in the park.

---

Here's the exit queue, which only got covered a couple of years ago. It hardly seems to need the cover; the most that ever falls off the ride is someone's hat.

---

Mad Mouse car making one of the tight unbanked turns that define the roller coaster type.

---

Using a nice severe angle to photograph the back-and-forth unbanked-curves section of the Mad Mouse.

---

And oooh, what's this? Yes, it's the back of the loading station for Thunderhawk.
