Avatab.... Steve

You have to love New England..... 40 degrees and Sunshine today in SE Mass and I saw people in T-shirts and sneakers and driving with their window down.....(ok, ok, that was me...LOL)

Nice, tell them you'll remember that on their birthdays and Christmas..... Just remember to yell: "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!!"

I'll bet Disney spends a lot more effort getting her animatronic just right......

At the risk of being Politically Incorrect (perhaps even "snarky"...LOL) I will repeat myself: Disney needs to build a new Park in Brazil, not build a Brazil Land in Epcot. (at least at first, after all there are Parks in France, Japan, China and there are corresponding Lands in Epcot) There's clearly a demand by Brazilians for Disney, so pursue the demand at it's source....

And mine! That's two..... start campaigning and maybe you'll also get the "privilege" to have Disney make a really bad animatronic that sort of looks like you on your worst day, and the Snowflakes can come and yell at it

You know, I'll bet that current Disney Mngmt looks at the Monorails the same way they look at the Fort: An outdated, outmoded piece of Walt Disney's original Dream for his parks that they are not sure what to do with, they know that they can't just get rid of, they don't want to spend any of their precious money on it unless they absolutely have to, and they sure as hell aren't going to expand it. Bring in more buses, that's the answer! To hell with what Walt and the Imagineers wanted.....

"....Ok, enough with the wedding and Commodore 64 distractions..." I'm blaming Lou and his C64 for my attempted thread hijack....uhhh I mean HIS attempted hijack... yeah, that's it....

Same here Dave, can only see the first one I'm using Chrome on Windows 10

Probably why Sheldon Cooper still keeps his Mortal Enemy List on a 5.25 inch floppy drive.....

I think they still have some TRS-80's in service too:

After reading your post I was going to go find one on Amazon and post the link back here but then I realized if I did that I'd be seeing pop-up ads for doggie costumes for weeks.......

Interesting that they use the word "Patented" so prominently on the menu...... wasn't Edison dogged by allegations of Patent Violations and Fraud for years? I know he and Tesla went a few rounds in court among others.

Exactly. I've lost count of how many 4WD SUVs I've had slide into the ditch on the side of the highway. And I love it when the driver say's they crashed because the road was too slippery.... which is when I point to all the cars going by and ask why aren't there any other cars in the ditch next to yours? LOL

I would be amazed if Disney had that level of organization or even has access to that information. Actual Police Agencies have to jump thru hoops to get and keep access to State and Federal Firearms databases. Any abuse of that access is a Federal Offense and can get your entire Dept kicked off the net. And don't forget that this is the same outfit that can't train it's Security Guards to give the same answer twice let alone enforce rules evenly. I mean, what are they going to do if you say "No" to any of their questions? Are the Security Guards going to bring out the portable Lie D

High today here is 12 and high tomorrow 16......... that's w/o wind chill We are near the ocean so those temps are warmer than further inland or up in NH and Maine. Mt Washington was -100 overnight with wind chill. The overnight here is practically a heatwave compared to that with -5 , and the wind chill making it ONLY -15 I do feel for you Floridians though when even the local wildlife is dropping...... literally! https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/stunned-iguanas-drop-from-trees-in-south-florida-after-cold-spell/70003754

I saw a news item somewhere a few days ago that they have had a few problems with college students standing up and screaming during Trumps speaking part. At least one had to be arrested and taken out forcibly..... Also read quite a bit about the quality of the Trump figure. From the close-ups I've seen it certainly doesn't look like Disney's best work by a long shot. How did it look from a distance?

Exactly. The chances your two kids would bother anyone else is small, but the way the driving rules are enforced (or mostly not enforced actually) lately would be my biggest worry. Tell them to wear bright colors, keep their eyes open at all times, and be ready to jump into the bushes if necessary....

HA! You're not kidding, too much of one actually. One of my friends got it for me to take along camping, which I did.....ONCE..... Now it stays home....

I have that same Dynamite crate full of firestarter sticks shaped and colored to look like TNT.

Wow. I don't know whether to feel glad or sad for the dog.....

Me too! But look at it this way, better to have that site as a neighbor than one of the many large groups that have descended on the Fort the last couple of years. Empty camper means no noise, no racing golfcarts, no people blocking the road, taking over the CS, etc etc..... But I do agree it is annoying for the rest of us who can't get a site to know it's just sitting there unused.... it's only one step above an unused Phantom Site......

Mo, did you see that video from the Top of Mt. Washington? They set a new daily record (not all-time, that was -47 in 1934!) of -34 degrees! One of the weather station guys went out with boiling water on this video: http://nhpr.org/post/low-temperature-daily-record-broken-mount-washington-summit#stream/0

It's not just here. I was reading an article a few days ago about how Groups and Organizations of all kinds are slowly declining in membership and the average age of those remaining is climbing steadily. This trend has been happening for several years now, but it seems to have accelerated very recently. FMCA for instance (Family Motor Coach Assoc.) is now really feeling the effects of this. Not only are their numbers falling but the participation level is dropping thru the floor. The percentage of it's members that belong to active chapters is down to 30% of total members.....

Exactly. That's why many in Law Enforcement call it "Security Theater". It looks good and makes people feel "safe" because someone is "doing something" but most of us understand that if someone is willing to die in order to hurt others there is a good chance they will succeed.

Good point. I guess my counterpoint would be that Disney is large enough to do more than one project at a time and a Value CG could be as simple as a glorified parking lot..... after all, how many of us would take even just a slot in a parking lot if it were considered as being on property and more importantly was available on weekends and holidays. (I know there are other reasons many of us stay at the Fort besides just being on Disney property, but I'll bet a good number of weekenders wouldn't mind a big paved lot if it was inexpensive enough or the only thing available) But f
