no one can hear you scream

[topaz]

My upper arms are very sore today.  Really sore.  I wondered all morning just why.

Then I remembered: last night keyne persuaded me to go on the Zipper at the Bolton Fair.  It's from clutching to the safety bar for dear life.

I am also quite hoarse today.  These things are not unrelated.

We always used to go to the Bolton fair as kids. I seem to remember the screaming, too. It was probably my parents.

But I remember apples and pumpkins. Seems they've pushed it summerward this year!

Yep, they did: http://www.telegram.com/article/20090807/COULTER01/908070593/1189

Yet it was sparsely attended the evening we went, because of the chill and rain. Go figure. :-)

Oh, I'm sure plenty of people heard you scream...

Oh, the Zipper. It's been years since I was on a Zipper...I remember it fondly.

You don't think the sore arms are related to hoisting a large piece of butcher block?

The energy I spent helping to lift a 300-pound butcher block counter was dwarfed by the force I put on those safety bars.

Hm. Guess you won't want 'in' for my next roller-coaster road trip. ;-)

Ok I'm a bad man.

Sore arms
Screaming

I went somewhere else

But coasters are fun too

In either case, there are no photos. I think the speculation was warranted.

Yeah! Pics or it didn't happen!
