My parents would have a cottage every summer and dance to the big bands, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Dorseys, Woody Herman, etc. at the Crystal Ballroom in the 40s and 50s before I was born.

We would end every family trip to CB riding down the Magic Carpet. I don't know when they took the carpet ride out. I think mid to late 70s was probably the last time I rode the rides but I never bothered with the Magic Carpet except as a kid with the family. The Comet was #1 attraction for me from the time I was tall enough.

I rode that ride. The capsules would turn as the giant arm spun them around. I could draw it. My belt came loose on their as well and I got banged around inside the cage til the guy heard me yelling and stopped it. I lost a bunch of quarters out of my pockets too. The Aero something I think, or something to do with rocketships.

Loved the Comet as a kid, and just being at Crystal Beach in general. The yellow wooden coaster was cool too. Didn't like the Wild Mouse, thought I would fly out. Saw someone throw up on their own face riding the Rotor when the floor dropped away. The Scrambler was fun, but don't get squashed. We would always go through the big fun house last before leaving the park. The Magic Palace or something like that. At the end you would ride down this big carpeted belt and exit the building. As teenagers we hung out at cottages on Bay and Crystal Beach. Lots of good times.

Loblaws I believe. Me and the siblings would get piles of free tickets.

The announcer just said "I think he fell out of love with kicking balls". ?

He has a job already.

It's free government cheese day?

Murray is wearing clown shoes.

I like the sideline reporter chasing the guy for a comment.?

I was at both of those shows. The 78 show was the 4th of July, after the show we all went to my friend's beach house at Sunset Bay and partied all weekend. Good times indeed!

One last picture from this past summer at one of his favorite spots. Thnx for this thread Gugny. ?

This is Harry about 4 months ago. He is ~14 1/2 yrs old. 6/1/05 -- 2/6/2020 RIP my friend.

What?

Thanx for this timely thread Steptide, I am sorry for your loss.

Thanx Duke Thanx Gugny

Thanx Augie.

He looks so peaceful right now wrapped in his burial cloth in front of the fireplace. I wish he was only sleeping. I have to bury him in an hour or so. He was a great companion and although I will miss him terribly I am also relieved that he is at peace.

Thanx James, Harry lost interest in food a couple days ago and I knew it was time. I wanted him to be here as long as he was eating and still enjoying life.

Harry P Barker, my Aussie Border Collie Healer is saying goodbye to this world this evening less than 4 months from his 15th birthday. I am waiting for the home visit from the vet and spent the day digging his grave in the yard. We adopted him at 1 years old and he has been with us all day practically every day since then, as we run our own business. The most loyal, loving, intelligent, empathic, and athletically gifted dog I've ever known, and also the only dog I've ever had as a companion. They are here.

I deleted my post because I don't believe it was correct, sorry bout that. Pretty sure the net worth of 70 million or whatever is incorrect, I saw other sites saying around a million or less. I believe Gunner Bill knows what the pay range is.

He got clubbed in the face. Personal foul blow to the head, regardless of after the play. Should have been 15 yds and automatic first down, definitely would have been for Brady.
