My Grandpa took all us grandkids to the one in Florida on summer [worked out well since that's where we lived]. All I can remember is getting a god-awful headache and bitching that it was too damn hot in the car and he refused to even role down the window 1/8th of an inch cause he was sure an animal would somehow get in the car and shit on the seats. After rolling through the park he discovered he had the heater on, not the A/C. Stopped at a drugstore and he got me some Alka-Seltzer for the headache while my mom yelled at him for being so stupid for having the heater on. First time I ever had Alaka-Seltzer and it didn't agree with me so it was also the first time I barfed all over a drugstore counter.YEKIMIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921751875397071034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-50422893736341034502014-05-10T16:08:31.558-07:002014-05-10T16:08:31.558-07:00Ken- I laughed when I read this portion of your bo...Ken- I laughed when I read this portion of your book. Ah- the good old days, a cheeseburger, a milkshake, and a quick " feel". But... REALLY? what did you expect from Rhonda? If you wanted that action you had to go out with my friend Barbie who wore a beehive with a scarf that tied at her chin. She used to go down to the railroad tracks just to get action. I asked her why one time and she said she "loved sex". Incidently, she grew up and became a lawyer.

"Might as well. Nothin' else to do") until they finally built a Dairy Queen there. Well, there was a one-screen movie theater, the Clif-Tex, but if you didn't care for the film (usually one that had been in the cities for six months already), you had to wait a week for a new one to start. <br /><br />Then, in the '80s, someone opened a place called Texas Safari as a drive-through zoo and retirement home for exotic animals from Hollywood, circuses, etc. Suddenly, within a mile or so of my boring prison of a school in the ass end of nowhere, giraffes and elephants and gorillas were roaming free, some of the gorillas no doubt smoking cigarettes and doing nifty card tricks. Sadly, it closed down, so I assume that kids there are back to "driving around," only in more fuel-efficient time-wasting machines. <br /><br />Incidentally, I think your date was ahead of her time in her tastes. Not only has "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" aged better than "Easy Rider," but these days, of the two, it's the one that people would probably prefer to watch while on drugs.
