Looks like Maggie's feeling just fine again! glad for that.
 
That would be scary to not be able to find kids at an amusement park. I think I'd do the same and be contacting the place about procedures if a ride gets stuck to notify parents/adults accompanying them. I've done plenty of such trips but with younger kids, where there were more teachers/adults for the number of kids and we'd be at the rides with them.

By jr. high we didn't take them on field trips, any given day could be a roller coaster ride or a 3 ring circus all on its own.

We did used to manage without cell phones ya know... now I suppose it's a matter of thinking about what if the phone's lost, not working, etc. and having alternate plans. Working at summer camp we had different ring tones on the phones for various staff so I could hear the phone if we were inside and know who was getting a call (or if it was for me, no don't call me with your problem! lol). Or there was always shouting across the field, breathe from the diaphragm and project! lol

How about 'If You're Happy and You Know It'.

The circus is waaay worse than amusement parks - in a confined place with at least a couple of kids who can only tolerate so much sensory stimuli.
And then there are the clowns... :Clown:
 
Latest doctor visit looks like DW and I are over pneumonia except for a lingering occasional cough. Not sure what's causing it, but apparently it has been really bad in the area.
it's going around. I went to the doctors for my foot. told her I was short on breath lately, she listened and said I have bronchitis, bad. She said how long you been feeling short of breath? ummm, a couple weeks or more. She called me a mule. I don't feel like I have it but she was like, if you start to cough up blood, just go to the emergency. I'm like, whaaaaaat? I guess that what's been going down, people are getting bronchitis with not the normal icky, sick feeling. Just walking around with a lung full of bacteria, eventually turning into pneumonia.
 
So far as I know there is nothing like bronchitis happening in my part of the world. Leftover spaghetti was dinner.
Maybe Blue Bell or maybe cookies later.

Jon - glad it worked out OK, in the end. Do you ever get the feeling that people don't want to work or just don't care about their jobs? My other boss (data warehouse, not GIS) talks a bit about the lack of work ethic.

So it wasn’t even that they weren’t carrying their phones...the specific ride has a no “loose articles” policy that prohibits anything in your pockets. I’m getting ready to call. It’ll be interesting to see what their response is...I doubt I’ll get much traction.
If you get no action, call their PR department. They are paid to listen.
or the local news station if it has a "listener's advocate" type of unit. In DC, it's WJLA with "Seven on Your Side."

You hit the nail on the head, Charlie. The security folks did not follow protocol. They apologized, but unfortunately, I don’t know who we spoke with.


In other news, brewery construction continues to advance. We’ve been hanging FRP board for the last week. It’s messy, slow work for us amateurs. The only piece we have left is the inside of our walk-in cooler. Hopefully, we can get it done in 4-5 hours today.
 
Can't wait until y'all open up. Always fun checking out a new brewery. :)
