You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a ‘drop off’, (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse, which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round! HA!

On that note, here are two pictures of my Dad and me on the merry-go-round at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco.
My parents came to visit for Christmas of 2005. My whole life was falling apart and they came to support me. They came for five weeks over the holidays and did a lot of construction work on my house. I love them for that. My Dad always said that he’d never come visit the States until the Canadian dollar was at par or above the US dollar. But, he came that year because I needed him. So–again, I love him for that.
Maybe my parents will come again. The Canadian dollar is the highest it’s ever been in my lifetime. Or, maybe–the US dollar is the lowest it’s ever been. Regardless, to anybody visiting San Francisco, the merry-go-round at Fisherman’s Wharf is a pretty good deal–a whole lot of innocent fun for 15 or so minutes for only two dollars. I think that’s what it cost us–two whole dollars. You really can’t beat that–in any currency.
