He made it very clear that I should take no God before Him—but he never mentioned anything about taking one after Him!

Talk about logic and loopholes! I admit that what struck me as funny was the taking the stated words and twisting them around rather spectacularly into meaning what she wanted them to mean. [not that we ever see that in the real world now]

Yes, this may re-surface in a quote file ... because it is just out there enough to catch my fancy.

Weekends 5 and 6

I have been VERY tired and VERY VERY busy thus haven't updated about Fest in a bit.

WAAAAA!

Geauga Lake is closing as an amusement park (water park only). We went there this year (almost finished writing all of that trip up).

What is it with us going to parks and having them promptly closed?

In 2006 we visited Six Flags Magic Mountain which was put up for sale that fall (it didn't get sold but it was a close thing), it probably would have been developed if it had sold. *sigh* While I had issues with the park...

In 2005 we went to Texas and among other things visited Six Flags Astroworld. It closed that fall, the land was sold. Some rides were salvaged but many of the best ones were not. *sigh*

In 2004 we visited Conneaut Lake Park on the trip north. We also visited Six Flags Darian Lake. In 2006 Conneaut closed (though to be fair, they do hope to re-open it). It's precious coasters are SBNO ... I don't know the status of the gorgeous carousel. Darian was sold in 2006 as well.

In 2002 (I think ... may have been 2003) we went to Myrtle Beach Pavillian which was a thriving park not that long ago. Now it is also gone. Fortunately the Alpine slide still operates in Gatlinburg (http://www.obergatlinburg.com/alpine2.htm).

Circa 2000 we visited Bland's Amusement Park it was sold to Del Grasso that November.
