Life is a Bumpy Road

Austin, Texas. Travel in Texas. Life in General. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - - -Dylan Thomas

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

Are Amusement Parks a Thing of the Past?


I am staying across the road from Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington and it made me wonder, are the days of the big amusement parks numbered? They use up a lot of land and it seems like people have access to so much else these days that they may not want to go out in the heat of the summer to stand in long lines to ride the rides. Plus the cost to get in is so expensive. They closed AstroWorld in Houston and it seems like most of the business that fed off Six Flags here have closed down. So it just made me think....
