Pointless comments about the past few days:

  1. Favorite license plate: “My other car is a warthog,” seen on a Civic.
  2. Favorite window sticker: “God Bless Johnny Cash”
  3. Favorite quote: “When I get scared, I close my eyes and it’s like it’s a dream.” No, that wasn’t me talking about driving with a car full of kids, it was my son telling somebody why the roller coaster wasn’t scary.
  4. Favorite place to be: back home.
  5. Of course, the Civic mentioned in ‘A’ was referring to the warcraft, not the beast. Although the aircraft might be considered a beast, depending on which end you are sitting at.
  6. Favorite Meal: Chick Fil Yay, because it was tasty, fast, and served with a smile, unlike the $8.00 sandwiches you can get at Shamuworld. (I know I called it Shamuland the other day, but I think I should reserve that for the original park, don’t you?)
  7. Favorite other quote: “If the roller coaster crashes, we probably aren’t going on it today.”
  8. Favorite people: my wife and kids. Yeah, still.

Thar he blows!

I’m holding the baby, and we’re standing near the refrigerator. She is entranced by the variety of magnets we have.
Magnetic, or personality.  Can't have both. She’s pointing: “Shamu?” “No, honey, that’s a dolphin. From Sea World.”

“Shamu?” “No, another dolphin.” (the name had rubbed off, I think an aquarium)

Shamu!” This time she pointed to a picture. Of me.

Canoe Shamu?
Originally uploaded by silly old bear.

My son convinced me to sit down front for the Shamu show. It was hot, hot hot, because the sun was beating down (three in the afternoon) and I thought a little splash of water would feel good.

For some reason, Shamu multiplies during the show, and by the end there were four of the buggers. And they all hit us at once.

Gallons, people, gallons.
