Shockport!

There's nothing shocking about Lockport, I just wanted to get your attention.

I went to Lockport today and everytime I go out that way I keep wanting to live out there. Lockport, Selkirk, St. Andrews...they're all my kind of places. I have come to the conclusion that I need to live by water in order to be happy, and those places seem to have an abundance of water.

I had a hotdog for the first time in 7 years today. One at Half Moon and one at Skinner's. I didn't eat all of each hotdog because I despise hotdogs, so there's still 3/4 of each sitting in the fridge, but they were actually good hotdogs! I finally understand that whole snap to bite ratio or whatever people keep talking about when it comes to good hotdogs. Still won't eat relish, though. I'm not sure if I can be a good judge of a hotdog if I can't eat relish.

I saw TFJ struggle down a hill, heard that there were lots of fish and that people were catching them by the minute, found out that Wet n' Wild closed down years ago (they should just call it Shockport because I was shocked about that). I had a good day! Abandoned water slides are creepy and depressing, almost like some remnant of Chernobyl. But they are really amazing to look at. Bryan Scott has a good picture of the creepiness that is abandoned water slides.

My only regret: that I didn't take a nicer picture of Wet n' Wild, in all it's abandoned glory. And that I had no idea it was closed. Now I know what to do for the future. Everything we do is learning!

This hotdog and I say "peace out."
