4th of July Carnival in Eureka, CA - I knew a Man Named "Zipper Bob" who worked setting up the Zipper and Taking it Down... Interesting Fellow... He said it took a lot of energy to set up the ride... NO EXCUSES for Fatigue... So he Took LSD Before Construction Started so he was PEPPY! and Had Stamina to finish the Job... Think about THAT the next time You Ride a Carnival Ride.

on a different subject: I went to Mount St Helens many years later and found black shiny rocks... Obviously from inside the volcano... I asked the Park Ranger where a Good Location would be to find more rocks and he said... Please don't take the rocks... if everyone did that we wouldn't have any rocks for tourists in the future... so I dumped out all my rocks...

My Father and I Took a Hike on Hammond Trail Starting at The Castles... In McKinleyville, CA - Then we sat on the Bench overlooking the Mouth of the Mad River... and Had a VERY MEANINGFUL Conversation... During the Last Years of His Life we became friends and Did a Lot of Traveling in Humboldt County... He took the Senior Bus to The Bear River Casino and I'd drive down and Pick him up... Then we'd Cruise to Interesting Places... Like the Loleta Cheese Factory...
