Question & Answers
Stupid zombies chapter 3 stage 2 level 52
I need help!!! i cannot figure out how to get three stars on this level. i have 19,000 points on this level, but it is apparently not enough. can someone please provide a walk-through? i cannot find a video of it anywhere online.
Answer from: CallMeLightning
1st shot: Center of crosshair on ground level just below the center of the small opening of the tree shadow right in front of the shooter. Takes out everything except for left bat and top right zombie. 2nd shot: Aim to ricochet off the right platform, near the light gray line, but wait for the bat to be at its apex. Takes out the remaining bat and zombie. 21,000! Good luck!
Answer from: StuckOn Level
The second shot seems impossible. I have tried for a month. Any other ideas?
Answer from: fartarse
Thanks for the hint. But I think a better 2nd shot is to aim just left of the faint star above the first column at the top and the bullet wil bounce up and down getting the bat and eventually the last zombie.

This is a steady operation, with 60% of revenue coming from fee-based services, including franchise arrangements, property management, and memberships. But until recently, the company has gotten little respect from investors, in part due to the supposed taint of time shares.
The Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, one of the company's 7,260 franchised hotel properties. Wyndham
That's changing, as Wyndham puts up increasingly better numbers. The company is expected to earn $465 million, or $3.22 a share, this year on revenue of $4.5 billion; that's up from $2.49 a share last year and headed to $3.67 a share in 2013, based on analysts' estimates. The stock is up 42% over the past 52 weeks, to near $49, and could grow another 20% over the next year. It yields 1.9%.
Once part of Cendant, the sprawling conglomerate that included Avis, Budget, and Coldwell Banker, Wyndham was split off into a separate company in 2006. Just in time, in other words, for the credit crisis and the evaporation of financing for time-share sales, and a sharp decline in overall leisure travel.
"We had a new business that people didn't really know all that well," CEO Stephen Holmes told Barron's. And what they didn't know scared them. The stock plummeted 90% from its spinoff price, to $2.92 at the market bottom.
While time shares get a bad rap, they produced 49% of Wyndham's revenue last year and 48% of earnings. The remainder comes from its franchised hotel business and an exchange platform that offers home rentals and time-share swaps.
THE TIME-SHARE INDUSTRY has evolved from its controversial early days in the 1970s, when high-pressure sales tactics included unrealistic promises about resale value. "It's now a heavily regulated industry with great brands," Holmes says. Hyatt Hotels h 0.05152868430092752% Hyatt Hotels Corp.

No one at Wyndham claims time shares to be any type of real-estate investment. "You're prepaying your vacation experience for the future," the CEO says. A time share's condo-like accommodations are particularly compelling for a family with young children.
These days, the company is more efficient with its time-share pitch. It offers fewer tours but generates sales of $2,230 per tour, 40% above the 2007 level.
Management now offers those marketing skills to outside developers who build new time-share properties, cutting back on its own development efforts. This new asset-light model accounted for 7% of sales in the time-share segment last year. Management expects that figure to rise to 20% in the next three years.
"If they're growing at the same pace but using someone else's balance sheet, theoretically the multiple should expand," says JPMorgan analyst Joe Greff. He thinks the stock could be worth $60 in a year, based on a multiple of 12 times free cash flow.
The Bottom Line
Wyndham's shares could move up another 20% as profits grow and the hotelier and time-share operator continues its aggressive stock buyback program.
Wyndham's hotel operations, given the franchise model, don't require much in the way of capital.
Lower capital needs are driving free cash flow, which could reach $750 million this year, according to FactSet. Wyndham's management has been returning that cash to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividends. In the past two years, the company has reduced shares outstanding by 22%.
Wyndham is also committed to raising its dividend in line with earnings. Patrick Scholes, who covers the company for SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, predicts a 15%-to-20% payout boost when Wyndham reports its annual results in February.
If there's risk to be found at Wyndham, it centers on the company's exchange platform. Most of the rental homes on the exchange are located in Europe. As in 2009, though, investors would be wrong to assume the worst. Wyndham says a majority of its rental properties grew transaction volume in the third quarter. Austerity notwithstanding, Europeans continue to make vacation plans.
Cheap Lodging
Lesser known and tainted by time shares' reputation, Wyndham trades at a discount to peers despite solid revenue and profits.

Iskra font family
Designed by Tom Grace in 2012
About Iskra font family
A practical sans serif need not appear dry, constructed, or derivative. It can excel in its sensible role and yet possess a distinct flair. Iskra (spark or flash) is a new sans serif designed by Tom Grace. It was conceived to challenge the limits between utilitarian and decorative. Sporting a low-contrast profile, it is a study of bridled energy in the Cyrillic and Latin scripts. Its eye-catching forms are an oblique tribute to the less-predictable style of brush lettering, and contain daring, elegant curves, economical proportions, and a slight top-heavy asymmetry. Its warmth comes from the subtle emphasis on the structures and details of individual letterforms, whereas its solidity is demonstrated through its balanced rhythm over long spans of text.
Each font supports over 75 languages and is hand-tuned for a pleasing legibility and aesthetic both in print and on screen. This type family makes an excellent choice for presentations, articles, branding, and advertising. Available in 14 styles, Iskra represents a fresh, stimulating, forward-looking perspective on how we see both the vitality of the particular letter and the overall harmony of text. Iskra is available in three different character repertoires: Iskra, complete set — Iskra CYR, Cyrillic-based subset with a Latin supplement — Iskra Cyr, Latin-based subset. Both the LAT and CYR series conform to most standard codepages used by typical software covering their respective scripts. All three series have similar OpenType functionality.

- My favorite local restaurantJenDDined on 11/12/2014We've been coming to Yesterday's for years, and they never disappoint....From the roasted garlic--all the way to the decadent desserts!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Find!theZimmsDined on 11/3/2014We love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. We definitely would return to try more dishes. My husband had the New York CheeseSteak sandwich with waffle cut fries, and a cup of the potato soup. I had the pan sautéed yellow lake perch with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh steamed veggies with a house salad and house dressing. It was absolutely delicious! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this wonderful little gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what I expectedfidelgastroDined on 10/25/2014Started out great, good cocktails, appetizer and salad. I ordered an item that had a filet with bernaise sauce and lump crab meat and my wife ordered the baked cod. It took way to long between the salad and main course and the place was not crowded and no explanation. Waiter was a very nice guy but seemed to be getting more scarce by the minute. The filet was perfect but the crab meat was minuscule at best. The cod was bland and not hot, very bad texture. The waiter did offer another entree but we declined because we did not want to wait and not eat together, so I shared my meal with my wife. The free desert we accepted was OK but the digressing experience we were having probably contributed to that. Not in a hurry but 2+ hrs. not good.Special Features:
- Great FindBicyclingGrandmaDined on 10/24/2014I was searching for someplace special to take my husband for his birthday dinner. A co-worker recommended Yesterday's. I have not lived in the area for too many years, so I am not real familiar with the area. I took my co-workers recommendation and was pleasantly surprised to discover ithat Yesterday's is everything she told me it would be. Great food, very friendly service and an indescribable atmosphere.Special Features:
- Enormous serving sizesfoodieVIPDined on 10/4/2014Food was yummy! The serving size is huge - you can easily share a dinner. The dessert portions easily serve 4!Special Features:
- Love the Brie & DessertsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/3/2014You can never go wrong with anything you order here. Everything is delicious but the baked brie appetizer and their huge selection of home made desserts keep me coming back.Special Features:
- Can't wait for more.fit13Dined on 9/20/2014Absolutely loved everything. Great service, amazing food, amazing atmosphere. We can't wait to go back! And, the desserts are to die for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never Going BackSpeechlessDined on 9/20/2014I took my girlfriend out for her birthday and chose Yesterday's making me look like a fool. This was single handedly the worst dining experience I've ever had, and on such a special day for her. We were asked to order our food before our drinks. I had to bring it up. The sodas then came 20 mins later and were wrong. Our food arrived about an hour after sitting down. This was not the biggest problem however. We were never brought our salads and bread. Only after asking about them did the waitress bring them after getting our food. Our steaks were not cooked correctly, one of them so raw in the middle I advised my girlfriend to not eat it. Only was offered 1 free dessert as compensation. Couldn't wait to get out of there!(2 hours later..)
- Wonderful trip to YesterdayIrishRedVIPDined on 9/20/2014Loved this restaurant years ago when we lived in the neighborhood and so happy to revisit Yesterday and find it hadn't changed a bit..great place to reserve if you are going to an ND game!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but disappointingluvdateniteDined on 9/5/2014We were unaware of the "select" menu during Notre Dame weekend so that was very disappointing as we knew what we wanted before we got there and then it wasn't even available. Prices were sky high. We had difficulty selecting something that we wanted to eat. The place has nice ambiance but it was so loud in there that you couldn't even hear yourself think much less have a conversation with someone without having to yell across the table. The desserts should be offered on a menu so you can actually read and consider what you really want, plus be aware of the price. I ordered cheesecake and quite frankly, I can do better plus mine tasted stale at the end. Not so sure we will be back.Special Features:
- MaverickDined on 8/30/2014Fun ambiance, wonderful wait staff, large menu choices,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent MealOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/26/2014The food continues to impress. The brie appetizer was outstanding. Entrees of coconut shrimp and the nightly special of duck with blackberry sauce were excellent. There are some good wine values as well (although many bottles are overpriced). It does seem to take a long time for the food to arrive at the table, but when it comes, enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 50 Years Celebration50YearsCelebrationDined on 8/22/2014Yesterday's did a great job making my parent's 50th celebration special. It was my parents first time at Yesterday's and I'm sure it will not be their last. The staff and service was awesome!Special Features:
- fun & foodtastic2foodiesDined on 8/22/2014Fun place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Excellent menu choices and food was delicious. The Black and Blu Steak was so tender it almost melted in my mouth! Desserts were absolutely wonderful. VERY difficult to choose as there were so many and all looked fantastic. Ended up choosing Chocolate Cream Pie and the Four Berry Torte. GREAT CHOICES! Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive without being overly attentive. Absolutely will go back SOON>Special Features:
- ServiceERINVIPDined on 8/20/2014Service is outstanding. We are recognized when entering the restaurant and treated like we are important guests while dining. Super place for snacks, drinks, sandwiches or a gourmet dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Local FindPGMORANDDined on 8/16/2014Wonderful neighborhood spot with owners who excel at service and desserts.Special Features:
- hatetocookDined on 8/9/2014Food was excellent and well presented! Especially loved the dessert.Special Features:
- Birthday meal50yrPirateDined on 7/26/2014We had a very nice time and meal. The food was great, our waiter, Thomas, did a great job for only his second day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 42 reviews are from the Yesterday's Food & Spirits reviews archive.
- First Timersgr8foodDined on 6/28/2014Ryan, our waiter, did an outstanding job making our first experience at Yesterday's a memorable one. My husband ordered a pasta dish. The menu described it made w/angel hair pasta but he requested fettucine, his request was granted with no problem. My choice was the pecan crusted walleye, although my personal opinion was the pecans overwhelmed the fish and ended up scrapping most of it off…although I discovered the nuts tasted great with my sweet potato on the side…so I was a happy camper in the end. We loved the eclectic decor and memorabilia everywhere, what a whimsical atmosphere to dine in. We will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu in the near future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What are they trying to do here?maybenexttimeDined on 6/14/2014Yesterday's was highly recommended by others so we went for a special occasion and were pretty let down. Upon walking in I wasn't impressed at all. There was junk/pictures EVERYWHERE and the hostess? kept her back to us while she talked to us about where we wanted to sit, she was too busy with something else behind the counter. We chose to sit outside... it was all mismatched PLASTIC patio chairs, a couple tables had newer sling style chairs. The whole atmosphere was confusing and did not feel like a nice restaurant. It was like a mix of a tiki bar and a dive bar. The food was good...but not great. The service was quite slow for it being later in the evening and not very busy. The menu/pricing does not match the decor at all.
- friendly but slow and so soOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/17/2014The staff were very nice, however, we had a reservation and we still had to wait, in a very small space, for 30 minutes. After waiting at the table for 20 minutes, we had to ask a busboy passing by for water. Waited another 15 minutes before we were able to place our orders. My son set a timer to see how long it would be between placing our orders and getting our entrees...49 minutes. (We did get the soups/salads in between.) My food was cold, and nothing really to rave about. Supposedly known for their desserts, the server presented this horrible pile with of all them mushed together. Very unappetizing. Because the people were friendly we would like to recommend it, but there were just too many issues.
- Over pricedIndianaCPADined on 5/14/2014I had heard good things about Yesterday's so I reserved a table for two to celebrate a 31st wedding anniversary. It was on a week night at 5:00pm. I had never been there for a meal. They opened at 4:00pm but the server was slow to greet us because she was still prepping for the evening. After greeting us she was helpful and attentive. Half way through the meal, a larger group came in and our server disappeared. The salad was drenched in dressing; the tomatoes were overripe, dark and mushy; the sweet potatoes were overcooked and too fibrous to eat and belonged in the trash not on a plate; and the fruit pie had too much cinnamon. My wife's food was good except for the pasta which was overcooked and clumped together. Paid $90 for a bad meal.
- RecommendDobieLoveDined on 5/13/2014Cute place with great food! But be prepared, it's hard in the wallet!Special Features:
- Great food but very slow serviceMichianaDined on 5/11/2014We went there at noon for mothers day and the restaurant was pretty full but we did see several empty tables. The service was extremely slow bordering on annoying. Took almost a half hour between ordering our salads and having them brought to the table. Entres were about the same and the desert times were worse. Six of us ordered desert and after twenty minutes our waiter delivered three and did not come back to the table with the other three desserts for another ten minutes. The only issue was ridiculous time between courses.. Overall the food quality was great and portions were generous, especially the salads and deserts. Start to finish were were there just under three hours.Special Features:
- Great spotOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/2/2014We had not been there in years and we were very impressed. Drinks were good, food was tasty and service was very good.
- Friday Night Desert!luvdesertDined on 4/25/2014Food was great as usual. The time we waited for service and our food was less than desirable! The restaurant was not busy however we waited a very long time at the door, at our table, and almost 30 min for our deserts that are already made. Scott was our waiter and he was fantastic just as he was the last time he took care of my table. Just wish the wait time was not as long as it was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Evening at YesterdaysSistersDined on 4/19/2014The food was outstanding...it always it. I don't go here frequently...more for a special occasion. It is my first go to restaurant for that because the food is outstanding and the atmosphere is cozy.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food-Hideous DecorMichianaDined on 4/16/2014My wife and I went out to dinner at Yesterday's for our anniversary. It was probably fifteen years since we last visited as we moved out of the state and recently returned. Overall we loved the food and service but the décor looks like it was decorated using garage sale and flea market junk; they even had Christmas lights strung throughout the room we were in. Considering this is a very old farm house I believe they should try to build on that theme and not the over cluttered look they have. It is a shame to have such great food served in such a gaudy atmosphere. They would be a great candidate for the "Restaurant Makeover" TV show; the food is right there but the décor surely needs a lot of decorating help.Special Features:
- Food was good, service was slowMikeVIPDined on 4/5/2014We've been to Yesterday's many times over the past 10 years, but it seems the service level has declined, but prices continue to increase. We asked to be moved from the first table because of how noisy it was and it took 2.5 hours from start to finish for our table for four. Our waiter was very pleasant, but the time it took for the meal was too long. The desserts are great, but for the cost of the rest of the meal I can think of other places to eat. I think this place is better for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great timeToppeDined on 4/5/2014We booked for a small family special occasion gathering and it was a fantastic evening. Our server was wonderful, warm personality helpful with the menu and provided excellent service from beginning to end. Food was plentiful and outstanding in quality and preparation. I was tempted drive back the next day for another dessert! Great dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everything was excellant asOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/5/2014Everything was excellant as always except they appeared to be experiencing a problem in the kitchen as each course took much longer than usual to arrive - it took us almost 3 hours from start to finish for dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic timeLove2EatDined on 3/22/2014We had four people at our table and everybody was very happy with their dinners. Had planned to go Downtown SB but so glad we changed our minds. Yesterday's is very intimate and their desserts are all very sumptuous! Roger is a great waiter as well!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely perfect!FamilydinerDined on 3/21/2014There isn't anything negative that I could say about this place! Very true to the theme love the atmosphere and people. All the staff very friendly even late at night they wanted to be there! Food fabulous and get some bang for your buck! The desserts leave you speechless!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had a wonderful 11th weddingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/21/2014We had a wonderful 11th wedding anniversary dinner at Yesterday's! Dinner was great & desserts outta this world as always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DELIGHTED!!!cookieladyDined on 3/21/2014As usua,l our evening Birthday celebration meal was outstanding in all aspects. Wonderful variety of wine choices.Tasty shrimp appetizer.My favorite meal choice is the oriental plum chicken! Great serving amounts and wonderful presentations.We love the personable wait staff,who give amazing service.We always top off a meal with their famous Yesterday's sundae,from their amazing dessert tray.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceDeanoDined on 3/15/2014This was our first time there and I can't say enough about this place. The decor was spot-on considering the name. Everyone there was friendly and very attentive to our needs. My wife has a lot of food allergies and they were more than happy to accomidate her. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. I had the Prime Rib with garlic mashed potatoes. It was so tender. The whole desert tray looked fantasitic and we ended up getting the Apple Dumpling for 2. Wow, it was the size of a normal apple pie! Of course after the huge meal we had, we ended up taking most of that home. Great place!Special Features:
- Great food and perfect pacingmishawakadinerDined on 3/11/2014My wife and I celebrated an anniversary here after recommendations from many friends and it lived up to all the anticipation! The menu is diverse and features many unique sauces and preparations. We ordered an appetizer, soups, entrees, and dessert; the entree and dessert portions were generous. The pacing of the meal was perfect. One portion didn't come out until we had finished the previous one, so we were able to enjoy each portion at the appropriate temperature. We got our dessert to go because we were so full, but the waitress still brought out their dessert feature tray to choose from which shows a slice of each of their cakes and pies; these alone are worth going for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- poor quality fooddujarie75Dined on 3/1/2014have eaten here number of times. Terrrbly disappointed this time. Food was lukewarm, prime rib as hard to cut. Service was very good to excellent but I was seriously disappointed in this experienceI would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodPEIGenDined on 2/26/2014I hosted to co-workers from our corporate Philly office. They said it was the best food they had all week......and that was before dessert! After tasting his enormous treat, my associate texted his wife who had never seen such a presentation. As usual, my steak was very tender and tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Grannys Avatar Pic...(didnt quite win)
A couple of months ago I entered my avatar pic in a Cruise Passenger magazine competition (entered a couple of others too). Well today I found out I didnt win....bummer....but my pic did make the web page......
hope this link works.....
Album 13 Gallery 52 Gallery | Cruise Passenger
There. There.
I think it is more important that you were on that Seabourn ship rather than creating avatars related to mundane experiences!!!!
1 Attachment(s)
Its a very cute pic - and I waould have voted for it - as a newly converted dog lover.
I grew up with cats around the house and never had a dog, but my wife wanted to get one.
So we went out and got a paplillon, and she is the cutest thing.
no Paul....you have got it all wrong......the dog pic is my "signature" (just for Christmas, I will change it after that). That is "Wally" our son! I must admit he does look more like his father than his mother though! ;)
The "avatar" is The Spirit at Bodrum.....during our very first cruise ever!!
Well a Papillion is the nearest thing to a cat I suppose.
I hate to admit it, but it is true, she is like a cat. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those "cats (or dogs) are better"... I just never had a dog. As a result I was a little sensitive to their smell. But our Pappilon does not smell bad - to me anyway.
My mom is so senile she actually thinks our dog is a cat half the time (no kidding).
Glad to hear Wally looks like his dad.
Hey Granny - which picture was yours? The one from the avatar? I didnt see it.
its the third line down, second pic in, I think!! Next to the one of the plane flying in front of the moon.....poor Granny never wins anything.....:confused:

Silent on the Moor- Deanna Raybourn
Fresh from a six-month sojourn in Italy, Lady Julia returns home to Sussex to find her father's estate crowded with family and friends— but dark deeds are afoot at the deconsecrated abbey, and a murderer roams the ancient cloisters.
Much to her surprise, the one man she had hoped to forget—the enigmatic and compelling Nicholas Brisbane—is among her father's houseguests… and he is not alone. Not to be outdone, Julia shows him that two can play at flirtation and promptly introduces him to her devoted, younger, titled Italian count.

The 2014 Damage Prevention & Excavation Safety Summit
The 2014 Summit will be November 5th & 6th at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Columbia, MO.Get More Information!
News & Updates
We're less than 1 week away from the nation's largest CGA summit.
The response to the invitation to attend has been overwhelming and the 70 volunteers of the MO CGA are busy working to provide attendees with an unforgettable experience.
As we approach the event we wanted to bring a few items to your attention.
1. If you have not yet made your hotel reservation, it is strongly suggested that you do so immediately. Because of the significant number of people, rooms in the area are filling up quickly. Wingate hotel has offered a special rate of $74 per night when you mention the Missouri Common Ground Alliance, and there are additional hotels in the area.
2. Please plan to carpool if possible. Parking will be challenging because of the number of attendees, and anything you can do to minimize the number of vehicles would
be appreciated.
3. Although the forecast is predicting relatively mild weather, please plan to dress appropriately – particularly for outdoor events. While high temperatures are projected in the low 60's, this event IS in Missouri, and as such, is subject to 40 degree temperature shifts in a single day.
4. Please plan to arrive between 7:00AM and 8:00AM to register. Because we will have a limited window of time to register 1,500 people, your prompt arrival and patience is appreciated.
We look forward to seeing you next week and we're excited about the programs and events that we have in store for you. Travel safely and we'll see you on Wednesday!

Virtuality (US - DVD R1)
Universal reveals package artwork for a new TV movie arriving on the 4th May
Quote: Nothing is what it seems in this daring, futuristic movie event from legendary Director Peter Berg (Hancock) and Executive Producers Michael Taylor and Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica). Twelve extremely talented men and women have been chosen to be part of the Phaeton mission, a 10-year trek to explore a distant planetary system. In order to endure the stress of being confined to their high-tech vessel, the crew passes the time using advanced virtual reality modules that allow them to take on various identities. But as the ship approaches a critical phase of their journey, a deadly flaw is discovered in the virtual system, forcing them to question if someone onboard might be a killer. Starring Clea DuVall (Carnivále), Joy Bryant (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins), Sienna Guillory (Eragon), Ritchie Coster (The Dark Knight) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Firewall), it's a dazzling trip to unexplored reaches of outer space and the inner imagination that Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune calls a "complex and intriguing film."

Roo Ben is ready for the parade to start/

You both look like you're having a super fun time! What was the temperature? Today it's 110 so our parades were first thing in the morning. By the time fireworks go off tonight it will be around 100. UGH!

Roo Ben was the only one I took. I can't handle any more than him, since he is disabled.
We had to park at the university stadium parking lot and take a shuttle bus to the parade staging area. I had to lift him on and off the shuttle bus, and he is 29 pounds. I didn't know how far we would have to walk from the shuttle to our setup location and didn't know if he would be able to walk that far. In fact, it all worked out fine.
The parade was 2 1/2 miles, and it took us over an hour start to finish. It was about 82 when we ended, and the AC was on in the convertible. Temperatures have been below average for the past few days. Everything fell into place. This is probably the only opportunity I will ever have to do this.

I don't know about Roo Ben, because he is 9 and I have known him only since February, but this was the first parade I was ever in - ever, in my 66 years of life.

WTG Roo!!!!!!!!!! Love the photo....................... he looks happy with the wind blowing in his face. I thought the white behind Roo's head (the back of the other seat) was a hat!
You look great and happy and I'm glad you got to be in the pararde... you never know, maybe net July you'll be in it again.... never say never.... ;O)
