Midway hawkers calling ``Try your luck with me''

Yes, on my mathematics blog I forgot which month we just finished. I'm embarrassed enough by this. Don't worry. Here's the last couple of posts to have gone up there, though:

And in cartoon watching, here's 60s Popeye: Private Eye Popeye and the case of the missing credits. It's a pretty good one, with reservations, since I always have those.

Now finally we get back to the amusement park photos. Here's the start of our trip to Cedar Point two weeks ago.

First visit of the season! The front of my car, looking out at the Cedar Point skyline. See how Wicked Twister isn't there? ... Well, trust me, it's not there.

Cedar Point's main entrance, flanked by GateKeeper and its two keyholes.

Just past the entrance is the 150 years sign and the Midway Carousel.

Reverse angle on the 150 Years sign, with bunny_hugger showing off her lanyard of tradable pins. (She did not trade any.)

Operations! People roping off the seat on Blue Streak ahead of us.

Not sure what the problem was, but it was bad enough to close the seats on that train indefinitely. (It was probably the restraints not opening up when they were supposed to, the most common problem on a roller coaster.)

Trivia: United States Army Chief of Staff George C Marshall did not attend the first in-persom meeting of the Allied leaders, in Tehran the 28th of November, 1943, because no one had told him abou the meeting. He was sightseeing. Source: Why The Allies Won, Richard Overy.

Currently Reading: Chulo: A Year Among The Coatimundis, Bil Gilbert. This might be the first book I ever bought from Amazon (I just don't remember), although it could be I simply bought it online (still my first) from the University of Arizona Press. Anyway I haven't re-read it in ages, so, felt like taking the time to do that.
