Seeing as Poly was kind enough to open a separate thread for it, I'll just continue with my everyday shenanigans and tell you Dad and I went to Best,
by bicycle. It's quite a distance, we cycled 27 km in total. At a second-hand store I found a nice magazine with a FZ interview I'm inclined to
translate for y'all.

Nothing noteworthy. Having added a comment to my new thread, I'm dragging myself away from the computer to shave and then head off to work, grumbling,
yet considering myself privileged to have such a good job to go to in the first place.

I listen to a lot of radio. It's on all the time with the news. I've been doing it for years. I feel better having said that. But once a week there
is an hour show with a topic. This American Life has fun looking at our idiosyncracies.
This week they are looking behind the scenes at Amusement Parks. One in particular is just up the road in Kansas City. It's summer, people who can
will go on vacation. Many will go to an amusement park. They look at the competitive nature of different facets of 'play' as shown in the park.
Here's the Australian link, or there's a link at the top of the page if that makes things easier,
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/443/amusemen...
hope you can hear it in Europe. It shows a lot about things here. Good stories.

Thanks! Tell all your friends!
I accidentally typed Statue of Liperty. Seeing that made me think of a Mick Jagger version of the New York Lady.
Oh boy...

Multiple Choice, pick the correct one:
(A) Come on Bonny, I don't have any friends, why do you think I frequent internet forums?
(B) All my friends are here already.
(C) Friends, who needs friends?
(D) All of the above.

All of the above I guess.
Been out as blind guide dog to De Efteling again, my favourite theme park. Pictures will come later. For now, I'm exhausted and sore. And watching the
Timothy Treadwell doc.

listening to Scott Parker's Zappa podcast. This time it's the Flo& Eddie band.
Lots of rare bootleg things, some history, a little discussion, some on the wah-wah from a technical standpoint, but all in all always good for the
zappafan.

Today my wife and I dropped our daughter off at San Francisco State University. Periodically we'll send money, and hopefully in four years she'll get
a diploma.
Probably some other stuff will happen in the meantime, but that's the idea...

Hey, MTF, that's certainly a huge milestone. We're at the stage of one gone, one practicing take off at the edge and one still snug as far as flying
the nest is concerned. Sigh.

I uploaded my Efteling photos!
Part of the construction of the wooden coaster. It's a very cool one! I bought a key-chain of it, which I managed to lose within thirty minutes.
Caroussel palace, with one of the oldest working caroussels in the world.
Fata Morgana (1001 Arabian Nights themed dark ride) square.
The Little Mermaid statue in the Fairy Tale Woods. Americans aren't used to anything, I thought when Disneyland removed the Minnie Mouse-statue with
Janet Jackson's clothes after Nipplegate. The Caroussel palace exterior and ths statue give Efteling boobs a-plenty.
Longneck, the theme park's icon
It's very Jeroen Bosch, this painting in Villa Volta.
Madhouse Villa Volta from the outside

congrats mtf! You're work is mostly done!
Nice pictures B. I always like it when I learn something.
Pictures of Holland in August, even an amusement park is something I don't think I've seen before.

Now that I've reached the late 80s with the articles, I'm constantly bothered by a horse called Zappa.
