    Have you been there since they added California Adventure?

     

    The place is a resort and it's very nice.

     

    I remember when Anaheim looked slummy outside Disneyland, it isn't that way anymore.

    OK, thanks, that's good to know.  No have not seen/visited California Adventure.

    Bruce Smith approved.  If the Peace Bridge ever reverts back to a level of sane commuting, I think a Chef's run might win out over a Boccé Club run.

    Worked at the Peace Bridge for 2 summers, 67-68.  Toll was .25.  We had to separate the US from Canadian, then roll the quarters in $10 rolls.  Use to be a big rush in the early afternoons with people trying to make Ft Erie, for the Daily Double.

     

    I remember the old guys taking the silver US quarters, and replacing them with the "new" composite quarters.  Silver was crazy back then, due to the Hunt Bros. I often wonder if they made anything off those silver quarters?  I was going to college, and lucky to have lunch money!

     

    Even back then, we used to accept reservations for trucks carrying heavy rolled steel.  They had to cross in the 0200-0300 AM time.  We would actually close the bridge to other traffic, till those heavy trucks crossed because of gross weight considerations.  The bridge was 50 yrs old then, now, another 50 years later, I wonder if they still need to do that?   Says a lot about our infrastructure!

    Disneyland is different.

     

    Might have been different for you, had you gone there as a kid.

    Disneyland USED to be nice, but the neighborhood has changed!  Visited in 70, very nice, '96 didn't feel safe outside the park.

     

    Walt was a genius, buying up Florida.  No bad neighbor problems.

    Some people dream of the world being run like Disney. 

     

    Did you know ever Disney Employee must pick up garbage if they see it littered about.  From the highest CEO to the lowest peon.  AND must do it nonchalantly and with one graceful unobtrusive swoop. 

     

    That should make you feel better that you were cast out of paradise! 😆 

     

    Take 2 Tylenol and call me in the morning!

    My Jesuit education has served me very well in life, but I 100% agree with you!

     

    BTW: Read up on Pope Urban VIII, mentioned in the blurb up-thread...

     

    This is from that glorious era when the Church had really hit dead rock bottom, and stayed there for quite a while.

     

     

     

     

    I think we're there again!    Urban VIII was very small time compared to now.  It's all about the $$$.

  6. Possibly!   Didn't watch the game till yesterday, was "busy" Sunday.  Did not watch the half time show at all!  Was envious of the defensive lines of both teams.  The commercials mostly were average.  Loved the GM ad with the Sopranos, and the Austin Powers ad was good too. This is the first time I have ever felt this way about the SB.  No doubt, seeing the BILLS there would have changed everything for me!

    Make sure to wear you TuTus for this two-multuous event. 
     

     

    All that will change, when we're down to the final :13 seconds.
