Needless to say, it boggles my mind that any politician would oppose improved healthcare, or even single-payer systems, as are present in just about every country in the world, with a few exceptions. Yours was, mercifully, a much lighter example of the mess that results when being kept healthy (or just alive) becomes purely a matter of profit. ($250 for that exam? Egad)
Main thing, of course, is everyone's now healthy again, whatever was involved. ^_^
Tuna salad on a croissant? Eep! That worked? I would've thought the croissant would be a bit rich for that, versus something like a ciabatta.
It's weird, though, how wind power (et al) still do seem to have this image of being some pie in the sky solution, when such genuinely renewable options are now being deployed on the scale of old power station capacities. Not that that's without opposition - the UK's Conservatives recently cut solar power feed-in subsidies, whilst bolstering their support for fracking, which possibly offers some clue as to where their priorities lie.
Can we not get President Nye installed in the White House? Obama's at least sort of vaguely effectual, but ye gods, the current crop of candidates in the Republican clown car.. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'd take President Sanders any day over the rest of any of them, D or R)
One must remember that the USA is an oligarchy. Unless your annual income is at least $50 million, your opinion has no political relevance. A recent study showed that the desires of the 1% completely explained the behaviour of the government, while the wishes of the 99% had no statistical explanatory power - they simply do not count at all. The sheeple are permitted to exist so they can buy medical services from the rich.
The croissant was perhaps less buttery than you are imagining - but remember that it was "free" and so the evaluation should be more lenient. I agree that tuna-on-ciabatta is an excellent combination.
Why is it that fascist politicians tend to have sex with pigs? What exactly is the deal with that? And why are ultra-religious leaders so fascinated with dog-sex? It's amazing that they have a moment to spare from their genitals to think about fracking, which seems to be an excellent way to increase the earthquake frequency in your country but has few other benefits unless you're playing poker with other countries' leaders and the chips are made of petroleum.
Like most other qualified people, Dr. Nye has no interest in the presidency. The only people who want the job are those who shouldn't be allowed to have it. I look forward to President Sanders even though (at best) he will be only as effective as Jimmy Carter. As for Trump and Clinton, they deserve my vote only to the extent that I think they're lying about what they would do if elected. Either of them would be better than Ben Carson.
We take very few photos, because we tend not to look at them in following years and they distract from the amusement-park experience. Also, Wifey is against posting pictures of our children online (but now that they're grown up that shouldn't be such an issue anymore). Hopefully there is a specific shot from day 10 that Wifey might permit to be published.
I am a terrible photographer, so if you actually want to see what the rides look like, the millions of other people's photos on the web are much better bets than anything I could show.

Do you have photos of the park and/or rides?
