Disney Raises Prices Again! Will I Feel It?

No. I gave up on the parks a long time ago. Would my kids like to go and ride the rides? Yes and no. They would not like the lines. I think they have placed the rich in front disabled people and those naive enough to by fast passes or the multiple versions of them. I'm surprised they don't just limit rides to extra paying customers. We won't feel it at all. We don't live near it. I see it on YouTube. I can live vicariously through them. What I have seen of new rides, I am not missing anything. I'd rather go to a regional park where I can ride the rides. It looks like Six Flags might be ruining that. They want to be Disney regional. They charge more, but less upkeep and fewer employees.

Fall in the Carolinas

We arrived in North Carolina. They are getting that great fall weather I miss. There is a cool breeze and no humidity. This is the kind of weather where you can sleep with the window open. I wouldn't. I am gunshy of mosquitoes.

Night Driving Praise Your Local Truck Driver!

I am not a fan of night driving. My wife loves it. Probably because her father was a long haul truck driver. That is when he preferred to drive. Last night, I got to drive some. It was fine at first. Georgia is doing a lot for its roads. They even created lanes for truck drivers and others to park. The downside was very few rest areas. I had to stop and get gas at one point. While looking, I found a rest area. I turned down the wrong lane. Trucks were everyehere! I could not park to use the toilet. We ended back on 95. Once gassed up we continued on. I volunteered to continue driving. I lasted about 30 minutes. The lights were driving me crazy. That and the bumpy as hell road in South Carolina. I feel for truck drivers. I could not do yhat job.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow

In 1981, a tv network showed Dark Night of the Scarecrow. This movie rivaled those in theaters. It is about a girl who has a friend with down syndrome. When she goes into a yard to get a toy, she is attacked by a dog. The town think it was the man with Down Syndrome. They take matters in their own hands. Then a mysterious presence starts killing off the men. It was not exactly a family film. Charles Durning and Larry Drake were in it. There were ither noticable actors. It wss a good movie.
