New Blog
I've created a new blog and don't intend to update this one any more. My new blog is The Wallace Report.
My perspective, whether it's politics, current news, entertainment, etc., is a little skewed sometimes. Proceed at your own risk!

Yesterday, we went to Busch Gardens Europe and stayed until we could
barely walk. I hate getting older--I could have closed the place when
I was younger. It was one of the most scenic parks I've ever been to,
except for maybe Disney. The last major ride we rode was Griffon.
I'd been avoiding/dreading it all day, but I knew I'd regret not
riding it. For the uninitiated, Griffon is 200+ feet tall with two
ninety-degree drops. And on the first drop, you hang there looking
straight down for a few seconds before they let you go. It was
probably the scariest ride I've ever been on. It was great.

I'm so glad I'm not a parent, although I think I'd be a better one
than the majority of parents I see. Tonight, I nearly got run down by
a kid in the same restaurant twice (different kid each time). One
almost sent my fully loaded plate flying across the room. Plus there
was the kid eating the ice cream from the machine in my last post.
I'm convinced that manners are a thing of the past, and most parents
are just lazy.

So we ate at a buffet the other night. I got a piece of apple pie and
was gonna put ice cream on it, when I discovered a waitress cleaning
the machine. She was also scolding a little boy, telling him what he
did was unsanitary. I think he licked the ice cream nozzle. Needless
to say, I decided to forgo the ice cream.

Oddly enough, AT&T has surprisingly bad coverage in Williamsburg. I
alternate between no service and 1 bar of signal at the condo we're
staying. The web on my phone is already painfully slow on Edge, but
at 1 bar it's almost unusable.
Switching subjects, here is one of the reasons I love my TiVo: the
ability to program it over the Internet. We saw a show advertised on
TV last night that comes on tonight. So I hopped on the web and told
TiVo to record it. It would have been painless if my signal was
stronger, but as it was it took me a while to get the recording
scheduled. I'm hoping someone will make an iPhone application to make
it even easier.

West Virginia is an odd place. First of all, there is not a straight
section of road anywhere. The curves are sharp, and when the signs
say you can take one at 60mph, West Virginians know it really means to
go 80mph. Finally--no joke--we saw a sign for a highway called
"9/9". I wondered why they didn't just call it highway "1". Maybe
they don't teach fraction simplification here.
