I guess its starting to catch up to me. IM starting to fall asleep earlier at night than normal which really sucks. We finally get satellite TV at home and the shows I wanna watch are now on too late for me to stay up to watch. Last night I fell asleep around 7pm and woke up this morning at my normal time. That really sucked.
Magic Landing is consuming me for some reason. I really don't know why that place keeps haunting my thoughts, but since the first posting, hell since before the first posting I had been obsessed with finding out as much as I could about that place. I am going to try and find a way to record audio of the TV commercial we have saved and try finding a way to save it to a site for others to listen to it.

STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET LVIII
It's about damn time!
Since taking vacation early this year, I thought it was great that I was able to sneak in a couple of interesting places while in each city. The U.S.S. Lexington in Corpus Christi, the Alamo and the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Well, the poor Mustang is starting to get up there in miles which means I will more than likely find other sites of interest. Why not look online for great museums? You can visit such great places as the Furnace Sticker museum, Dr. Darren's World Of Crabs, or the world renowned Mountain Dew museum, ALL ONLINE! And to think I was wasting all that money on worthwhile vacations. If you have any other weird fetish places you wanna visit, try this site out and go nuts.
You ever get so angry at work you wanna be kinda destructive? You ever wish you could release your inner Macguyver and cut down some co-workers using ordinary household objects? Learn how to build home made claymore devices, bow & arrows and deadly ninja-style stars! These aren't your average everyday hate-mail spewing, flame mail publishing pranks anymore, bitch!
What's that you say? You don't want to hideously maim your co-workers but still give them the impression you mean business about them bugging you? ThinkGeek.com has some great toys to satisfy your less than murderous rage.
What was this woman doing? Why is that man sitting the way he is?
Finally, here's your messiah.

Groundhog Day
Ah America, the only country in the known world to have a quasi-holiday devoted to a guesstimation of future weather patterns involving animals. Long, convoluted and sort-of confusing, if the groundhog sees its shadow, there's six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, spring comes early. Apparently, he saw his shadow, so the entire North-eastern portion of the country will remain a popsicle until sometime after April.
I spent way too much time at the Sprint store here in town yesterday. You may remember last week's phone in the rinse cycle posting, but one thing I forgot to do when I bought my new phone was get all my phonebook numbers transferred to the new phone. So I went yesterday to get it done. I spent something close to 20 minutes in line waiting just to talk to someone about the stupid thing, and had to wait an hour for the stupid technician to free his ass up to spend 5 minutes transferring data. In all, I spent close to 2 hours doing something that should have taken 15.

Magic Landing pt. 2.1
For a look at the first half of this story, just click on my Archives for October 2004.
Magic Landing, pt. 2
If there's one thing I have learned, its everyone seems to know more than they are letting on. I am in talks with someone in town who actually has the newspaper clipping from the night of the rollercoaster accident at Magic Landing. Once I get a copy of it, I will be posting it.
I also received a comment from an anonymous source:
Well anonymous, I wish I knew. As many people may not know, the property that Magic Landing still occupies was leased out to CFI Trucking to hold their trailers. Most of the parking lot is in use for that, but for the most part, the entire inside area of the park is untouched. My brother is an owner/ operator for CFI, but was unable to get into the locked area of the park himself. The security guards paid for by CFI had no keys to the park area, and seems to have no way to gain entrance, unless you break in.
Not that I am advocating the unlawful breaking and entering of a private property, I speculate that several of the buildings do have alarms protecting park property, such as the cash registers, beverage machines, various park equipment and even some of the dismantled rides that used to be in the park. An empty park has nothing to hide unless its property they wish to protect. I've seen pictures of abandoned parks where equipment was left out in the open only to have people destroy it, or have the park owners bulldoze it all away.
I've got a link to a defunct amusement park website on the sidebar of links on my site, but all attempts to contact the webmaster in charge of the site, or finding other sites devoted to defunct parks have failed. I haven't stopped trying, though. I will post the newspaper clipping when I get it.

I know some people who broke in at night, and they told me they have alarms in certain areas only. What are they trying to protect, what do they have in the buildings that they need alarms, and security guards?
