well its 480 per person with 4 people, so its 1920. for only two
people it would be 1360. pretty much get 2 more people in for less
than the price of paying for one more ride.

but its different amounts depending on how many go.

THree people would cost around 1700. 5 people costs 2200. maybe get
another person who would be interested.


site says july 15 is the day to pay the full amount. but when i called
they said the tickets expire when they all sale out, even if it goes
well past july 15.

yeah, the very end of sirens the people were controlled, and i think
Salo blew up the universe when he uses that piece to turn his ship on
to get back to Tralfmadore.

and yeah, vonnegut gives away the story but then fills it in as he
goes, makes it interesting. does that in most of his books. inline
hockey sucks. well, its fun, ice is a lot harder.

nucks need to step up their game or they're gonna fall short.

i probably weigh 165. might have lost a few pounds, there's a scale
upstairs, maybe ill check it out. the old fashioned slide the bars
kind.
